MTV And VH1 Etc. Have Way Too Many Commercials And Shows. But Not Enough Music.
Self explanatory. Ever tried to watch a program and every 5 minutes had a commercial? Aggghhh. It's even annoying with TIVO and fast forwarding!

This debate is a little old, People have said this for years. Jack Black quoted it in School Of Rock.

"There was once a way to stick it to the man, it was called rock n roll! But guess what, ohh no! The man went and ruined that too with a little thing called MTV!!"

And bowling for soup quoted it in one of there songs:

"Springstein, Madonna, way before Nirvana there was U2 and Blondie and music still on MTV"


So yeah, a very good point, but its been said loads.
Still though nice one.

I agree. When I was a kid, MTV actually did play music videos. Now, I have to ban my kids from the channel because of the more adult content. I agree with Grenache that they should have to change the names. If they are not going to play music, they should not be in the catagory of music television.

Absolutely. They should rename their channels if they aren't going to show any music. 9 out of 10 times that I turn either of them on I see some stupid reality show instead of music.

 They should rename it something that gives it a proper name alluding to its qualities. It is corny/dirty reality television.
