I was 16 when MTV was brand new. For my generation, that was like a breath of fresh air...lol. Who doesn't remember running home after school to catch the newest video on MTV? Back in those days, you could watch MTV all day long & see nothing but videos. It's NOTHING like it used to be.

[TheJosephValentino]

This is back when MTV was good. Now it sucks.

[Wisconsin222]

@Wisconsin222 And yes they did that's why I was wanting to see the new season, because the point of that was Beavis and Butthead ripped on the music video they were watching.

[Wisconsin222]

@karlababii909 True that.

[karlababii909]

@Wisconsin222 I didn't know that. =] I never really like them all that much, but like I said, I rather that than Jersey Shore...

[Wisconsin222]

@karlababii909 At Least we did end each episode of Beavis and Butthead with a music video.

[karlababii909]

@Wisconsin222 I rather watch Beavis and Butthead than watch the crap they have on now. At least their problems are reasonable...lol =]

[Wisconsin222]

@karlababii909 And that's considering in the 1990's Beavis and Butthead was launched on MTV.
