Favorite MTV show, past AND present

The only non-music video show worth a damn was Remote Control.

 

"Little Pig, Little Pig" - Green Jello

"Money for Nothing" - Dire Straights

 

Til Tuesday's video for Voices Carry is great, 28 years later.

 

Adam Ant had a lot of fun with his vids:

Desperate But Not Serious:

Goody Two Shoes:

Stand and Deliver:

 

Every Talking Heads video reminds me of how much I used to enjoy doing drugs.

 

Aimee Mann did a scene for scene remake of this video about a year ago. I highly doubt it was ever played on MTV.

I thought I read somewhere that Cully Holland (who plays the violent boyfriend) died but I can't find it anywhere.

 

Pretty amusing.

 

Past: Daria or the two-season run of Undergrads. Hat tip to the first decade of Real World and first 5 seasons of Real World/Road Rules Challenges
Present: The videos ... oh, wait.

 

The more I think about it, the more strange I find it that Clone High was even on MTV. It was brilliant, created by Bill Lawrence, who certainly had connections at other networks, and in a lot of ways railed on everything MTV had become.

 

the music videos, Beavis and Butthead, The Grind (that Rodriguez chick who was a dancer was the bomb) and the first couple seasons of the Real World. Always found it strange that in the LA version there were no cameras around when the Kentucky dude and the black dude got into it and IIRC the same thing in the original NY show between the southern chick and the black dude.

 

I'm surprised this thread hasn't been "NEXT-ED!"
