What do you think would happen if MTV.........?

[savoytruffle80]

Went back to it's original 1981 concept and began playing the latest music videos again, 24/7 with the odd concert special now and then.

What if a group of new programmers just took over, ditched everything, and went back to that?

Would you kids watch? ;-)

(Seriously, with cable television and new channels being developed all the time, I'm not sure why they ever had to change MTV's original concept. If MTV wanted to create a bunch of reality shows for teens and young adults, why didn't they create a sister channel just for that?)
Well I'm 29. (Look younger though.) ;-)

I began watching MTV in late 1986/1987 after we got cable. I loved "Remote Control" (ok, probably one of their first TV shows, but at least it was still music-related).

Look up the user "dalekenbuck" on YouTube! He's got some awesome vintage MTV programming. He's got an entire day of MTV programming from March 17, 1983, commercials included (amazing)...as well as footage from the first day of programming on August 1, 1981. I don't know how he got a hold of all that stuff. If he taped it off TV it's still in excellent shape.

I know its like MTVr MTVbase Mtv digs and hardly any of the channels ever actually have music on them!
I would watch it if it was just music all the time.

Well, I'm hardly a kid. In fact I am probably older than you, but if they actually put the "Music" back in MTV many of it's original viewers would come back.

At this point, now that there are so many shows on MTV, I don't think it would be logically for them to change back to there old ways. BUT I do believe that they should play more music videos and not just have clips of music videos in between every episode of a show.

Probably every so often but right now I would just sit in front of it for HOURS making fun of idiots on tv =D

I LOVE reality tv and love the fact that there is a channel dedicated to it =)

Oh by the way I'm 15....
