MTV stands for Music Television, or should I say stood for that. This tv channel which at once point used to be music videos all day every day has become the main channel for stupid “reality” tv shows. Teen Mom 2, 16 and pregnant, Jersey Shore, and many others are all examples of what shouldn’t be on MTV, some of them shouldn’t even be shows, Teen mom and 16 and pregnant. Others though like Jersey Shore I don’t mind, but I still believe they should be shown on a different channel.
I wonder why there is a need to have bad TV shows on a channel that was designed for the viewers to watch music videos and music related things. It really bothers me. I hate that the only time to watch music videos is from about 3 am to about 5 am, when most people are sleeping.
I know that times are changing and things will never be the same, but the least we could do is use this channel which was designed specifically for music for that exactly, and put all the musically unrelated TV shows on a separate channel.
What do you think?

When I was growing up music videos were huge. For example, Michael Jackson’s “Thiller”, Nirvana’s “smells like teen spirit” and anything by Madonna were must see events. Yo MTV raps would air on Saturday mornings, very exciting stuff for kids living in the suburbs. No computers or phones for instant access to music. We had to watch MTV!
