I can't say i'm upset. I haven't watched mtv since 2001. I got tired of all the real world/road rules challenges playing non-stop. Video killed the video star i guess. i just stick to pandora.

They had to cancel this show because it's too music related. The M stands for "Mindless" now..didn't you know that?

How about they cancel EVERY show and start playing some music for a change?
Otherwise, just change the name to BadTVTV...

I know.. there's never anything original anymore like back in the MTV golden years and the grunge era. I also think it's so funny when you see somebody that's supposed to be hardcore like "system of a down" on a show like trl .... i'm always like what??

As I recall, they played roughly 20 seconds of each video on the countdown, not bothering to play the whole thing ... so that would put it at about 3-4 minutes of actual music playing on the half hour show with the rest being a mix between ear-splitting teenage girl screaming and what would be the equivalent of ... (little box in corner pops up: "ALL RIGHT TRL YEAH WOOOOHOOOO!!!!") ... banana.

Reality killed the video star

I thought this show was canceled years ago... then again I don't ever watch MTV because they stopped showing music videos at the end of the 1980's.
Funny thing is you know in 10 years they'll bring it back with an elderly Carson Daily and it'll be "hip" and "vintage". What a bunch of crap...

I don't think it was more "Rad" back then...the point is that many of their popular shows have NOTHING to do with music. Please...enlighten me on how Real World/Road Rules Challenge counts as "Music Television"?
And I'll be perfectly honest, my wife likes that show, we both like ABDC, and my wife even likes Making the Band but even THAT show is 90% idiotic drama and only 10% "music"...it's all P-Dipsh*t and his "b*tch*ssness" ..and what's with the BS Diddy diet crap?
And don't get me started on the ads...I'm so glad the MTV award show is over so they can stop overlaying 50% of the show I'm trying to watch with ads for it!!!! LAME!
The sad part is that kids are accepting it all as quality television...I'm slowly losing my faith in the future of humanity. :)

i personally haven't watched trl in years.it used to be the reason to breath for a moment there. but it lost it's appeal after i realized i had left that phase behind. the bad thing about closing the show is that celebrities will have one less spot to promote new movies and music.
i agree with most posters here that MTV isnt about music at all anymore. iam so sick of the darn reality shows. just give them a channel and call it a day already. I like turning on the tv and seeing music videos and not having to be up at like freaking 4 in the morning to do so.
