Is there any station that's changed as much as VH1?

[live it to the limit]

I remember when VH1 didn't play any black music unless it was a HUGE crossover hit.

Right. They would play Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Seal

Reality TV took over. Viacom and quick and easy garbage programming took over. I remember when e entertainment was the Howard Stern show the travel shows and Talk Soup. All channels are basically the same. Even The Science Channel has that platform of people that judge or analyze slapstick esque programming that resembles Tosh.0 or Ridiculousness. Lol at MTV 2 being the exclusive music channel at the beginning then turning into a haven for reality shows and syndicated programming.

They never showed my girl Left Eye any love when they played the "Waterfalls" video.

I used to be so heated. And since I was just a kid, I foolishly thought it would be different each time...and it wasn't .

 

[Black Barbie]

I hardly watch tv anymore and use it for background noise because it has too much reality tv for my liking.

Whenever I do watch tv I usually stick to the ID channel or if I'm lucky to catch a good show on the American Heroes Channel (FKA The Military Channel) because it's basically the History Channel 4. I miss Animal Planet for their animal documentaries, but it seems like those have disappeared.

I used to watch Teen Summit as a kid and couldn't wait to watch it as a teen, but they played me. I'm lucky I can catch Matlock and In the Heat of the Night. Whatever happened to TVLand?

The only thing I'm looking forward to watching is WVU vs Mizzou this Saturday.

[KinksandCoils]

I hated those shows that would just play music videos back2back I much rather watch shows like behind the music or a reality show like we have now.

I remember the plot of every Behind The Music being the same. Lol.

1. Group of people decide to start a band.
2. They release an album to limited success.
3. They eventually hit it big with an album and blow up. Tour the world. Making millions. Fast cars. Drugs. fukking mad bytches.
4. There's some major incident at the height of their fame. Car crash. Drug overdose. Etc.
5. One or multiple members develop dehibilitating drug habits
6. Subsequent albums start selling less.
7. Band breaks up. Members go to rehab.
8. Band members are now 'clean' and are working on a comeback album.

Lol.

Rinse and repeat for the next episode. Just change the names of the band members.

 

[Fuzzy_Dunlap]

MTV turned into a 24hr loop of the show "Ridiculousness" should be the rob dyrdek channel now.

 

[jackswstd]

Behind the Music was the shyt. Those white bands were reckless as hell back in the day

The Motley Crue episode was but they left out a lot. Their autobiography is insane, the shyt these muthafukkers did behind closed doors was

 

[Ol’Otis]

Breh your avi is gonna get me fired. I almost died laughing at that shyt

[NSSVO]

MTV used to have hella music shows man. They totally dipped from that. I used to wake up before school to catch the new videos. I remember seeing Oh Boy video for the first time.

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

Mtv in a landslide. Went from playing nothing but videos to no videos at all.

 

[The Gimp]

I remember when VH1 didn't play any black music unless it was a HUGE crossover hit.

And now they give out hip hop honors

Like they weren't on George Michaels d1ck back then
