I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

MTV has been crap for a long time now, deal with it. Most stations have gone crap..Nickelodeon, ABC (what ever happened to the original TGIF!!??!!) MTV went crap when it stopped being MUSIC television and went to "hey lets watch crappy shows and pretend they're important!" television.

I agree, i just finished watching it, thats how I heard about the true life: I'm a gamer episode. I just think it'll be interesting to see what the "MTV community sees when they look at gamers" Meh..we'll see. or...at least I will..maybe..

The only good TV is The Simpsons, The Daily Show, stuff on the history channel, and stuff on VH1-2 or MTV-2.

Suddar charges in on Bajah playing videogames.

Suddar: Why'd you do it?!

Bajah: Do what?

Suddar: You jizzed in my peanut butter!

Bajah: Why would I jizz in your peanut butter?

Suddar: I dunno...maybe you had the hots for Amy!

Bajah: You're full of shit, man.

Suddar: If you didn't, who did?

Drysart walks in.

Drysart: Hey guys, don't touch the peanut butter, I jizzed in it.

Suddar: YOU!?! But...I thought we were best friends! We went through Boot Camp together!

Drysart: It's not personal, I mean...I didn't know it was YOUR peanut butter.

Bajah: Let's ask nem-x.

A small Asian man wearing several pimp accessories waltzes in.

nem-x: Hay hay haaaaaaaaay, whassap mah niggaz!!!!!!!111

And THAT would be entertaining MTV.

I wouldn't mind "reality television" if it wasn't so bloody demeaning. People used to get pissed because they said sitcoms were demeaning and sure enough the networks went ahead and made it worse. Do you realize there's another Survivor? Cripes.

There was "The Real World" and it was cool. At first. Then there was "Road Rules" which was like The Real World on the road with game show elements. Then there was that writers' strike...

That's what caused this asinine explosion of reality shows. The writers of the sitcoms were getting tired of crappy paychecks so they went on strike. Networks resolved to survive anyway so they turned to "reality television".

What I don't think the networks realize is that there's no brand loyalty to these shows. If someone watched "Cheers" in the old days, they would watch it religiously. I remember my parents watching that show every week. And Night Court. And the Cosby Show. And Hill Street Blues. And St. Elsewhere. When those shows had their final episodes it meant something. Right now the only show that I think people would mourn is the Simpsons, and then just barely. Hell even X-Files petered out (though that was the network beating a dead horse).

But every season we have a slew of new one-shot shows that don't make it back the next year. If drama has taught us nothing else, it's that good writing (Law and Order, anyone?) will beat out over anything. Law and Order has changed literally every character on the show at this point (with the possible exception of Jerry Orbach...been so long I can't remember if he was with the show to start or not) and it keeps going because it's well written. It has two spinoffs that are going strong. I directly lay the success of shows like the two CSI series and the "Without a Trace" show at the feet of Law and Order, which taught us that good writing will keep an audience together longer than fad shows.

Unfortunately the only network that seems set on holding on to well-written shows is NBC, and they're starting to fade out. Friends will come to an end. Frasier is going to end. Must See TV is going the way of TGIF.

I farking hate reality TV.

TV sucks nuts. It's all reality shows, which are stupid and boring, and lose my attention after I realize its just another stupid reality television show.

I want the goddamned sitcoms of old back. I didn't get most of them, but I sat and watched Home Improvement for the longest time with my parents, and I'd sit and watch alot of whatever else they watched. Now that I'm older I'm sure I would have more of an understanding to the shows, and I'm certain I'd find them more entertaining than the crap thats being played non stop.

And besides, when the networks find something that's a big hit, they start to play it non stop. Who wants to be a Millionaire(it's early, I doubt I spelt that right), started being played ever weeknight in hour long blocks, then it got Unpopular because the network sold out by playing it so much. They just want to make as much money as they can as fast as they can, that's not the way to go about it. Build loyal viewers damnit, not the next big fad.

What's this thing do?
That would be sooo cool if it wasn't going to hurt us.

I think the main reason for realtiy shwos uscking os much is their choice of popels, is it that ahrd to put five popel ein a hsoue together who arent all either whiny overly dramatic bitches and dumbass collages students/dropouts

c'mon, if they put like a clown, a taxidermist, an anciant chiese kungfu amster, a profesional ferret legger and a garbage man in the same hosue in showed their everyday life and itneraction, much mroe poeple whould watch

as for the sitcom thing, their some really great oens, but for the msot part they seem just as shallow, unfunny and irelevent as any reality show, so its not liek their the holy savior of all tv

the simpsons needs to die, it used to be one fo the funneist shows on television....now it just isnt

as for allt eh reality shows only lasting one season isnt a reason not haev any brand loyalty, jsut ook at anime, its a rarity for a seires to last mroe then 26 episods and yet their few things with mroe loyalty then ceratain animes


and fianlly, my solution for the crap on tv problem: start importing gameshwos from japabn, they gt the craziest game shwos in japan, yet the best we have in dotn forget your toothbrush and they barley ever show that anymore

MTV. MUSIC Television. Where's the god damned music!??!

on MTV2 thats where... I say all that shit programming should have been dumped on MTV2 and MTV should have gone back to it's roots.

But.. thats ok... VH1 and More Music USA have stepped in to fill the void. Music videos, music related shows, band interviews and music news... real music television weooot.

thats true, the music MTV plays is crap anyway. Did anyone have MTVX? (mtv extreme) before it went to MTVJams (black music) Now there was quality music programming! nothing but music all the time! no crappy shows just pure good old rock from all ages.

Other than that, the only TV i really watch is Boy Meets World (thats sum classic quality programming) and Boston Public, even though my mother and I seem to be the only people who like it. I judt think they deal with lots of really conterversial issues, its cool

Not these gay ass shows that have nothing to do with music.

Besides, radios play the same thing over and over. MP3 playlists play the same songs over again. Whats the difference?
