As a young girl, I remember watching music video after video on MTV. The popular television station attracted all age groups of people who would tune in to watch the top twenty videos of the week. There were also those few, celebrity updates, to which we all frowned in disappointment of the stupid things they were doing. The problem with MTV today is that they are no where near the same. No longer do they spend hours displaying the popular music videos of the day. They almost never show videos. Well I guess that you could look at TRL and say, “Well they did show 50 seconds of the number one video, today.”
To me, the station has only turned towards the dark side. Even though I will consistently find myself taking peeks at the new reality shows or watching the celebrity gossip, no one says that I actually enjoy it. Of course watching drunk ladies fight about some man whose age they are not even aware of can be quite funny, but there are just times where it gets to be too much. After watching the same episodes over and over again, the shows get old and you are quick to realize that they are simply dumb. Just to think, all of this wasted time spent showing the same Real World arguments could be spent showing hundreds of different music videos. Personally I find that this would be much more interesting. MTV has a lot to do in order to catch my attention again. I am not going to dis on the station by saying that it is bad altogether, but I think that many people would agree that MTV has turned into quite the boring media network.
