MTV Is 25, and LOVES It

In case you hadn't heard, MTV turned 25 this week. Of course, they didn't make a big deal about it on MTV lest they scare away all the viewers who have yet to hit an age where they can binge on booze legally. Instead, the nostalgia was left to ugly stepchild VH1 Classic, which re-aired MTV's first day of broadcasting. They'll re-air the programming this Saturday at 9am.

I TiVoed a couple of hours, and was disappointed to see they were only running the videos, and none of the in-between video VJ schtick. Lame! It would have been much cooler if they just ran the whole thing, VJs, videos, and 80s commercials, included. Instead there was just a bunch of really bad videos, many of the same ones aired over and over. There's only so much Rod Stewart a person can take.
