<![CDATA[MTV Rant]]>I was scrolling through the TV guide earlier and I noticed that there is no longer ANY show or time block where MTV plays videos anymore! Instead, everything from now until the foreseeable future is reality shows. Nothing but reality shows. I know that people have bitched about this in the past, but they at least used to have TRL and played videos overnight. Now there is nothing but bs.

/end rant

I can't think of any show right off hand that had a reality theme before The Real World came out. I still find it funny how a show called The REAL World can seem so fake, it's like a soap opera with people they pulled off the street.
Headbangers Ball is still on but the schedule is pretty random and there all reruns. I do remember watching Mtv X once while on vacation out to Seattle, nothing but hard rock and metal videos 24/7, it was pretty kick ass.

And speaking of celebrities on reality shows. Who's going to check out Steve-o on "Dancing With The Stars" tonight? I think it would be quite interesting to see.

Damn Flavor Flav started some bullshit. At least shows like Surreal Life were somewhat funny. Not every day you see a drunk, naked Vern Troyer pissing into the corner off the side of his motorized cart.

Ah yes, music videos recorded on VHS tapes, two relics from a better, happier time.
