Line 4:
*** But for most of the '90s, MTV still showed a lot of videos. They were just interspersed with other shows. It wasn't until the early '00s that the videos and scripted shows started to disappear and be replaced by mountains of reality bullshit.
* Why in the hell do people blame [[Beavis and Butthead]] for the [[Network Decay]]? If anything, [[The Real World]] should be blamed. Beavis and Butthead had the music video segments, true to the channel's name, and I'm sure The Real World spawned all the other shows that plague the channel today.
** Don't you mean The Real World spawned all the other shows that plague every channel today? The Real World, produced in a cheaply rented apartment, with low paid actors, and a small production staff that gets paid for producing, but also writes. Basically, very cheaply produced drek that gets viewers, so of course everyone has taken up the formula, and now almost every cable channel is consumed with nothing but "reality" TV. And even the main broadcast channels want to add at least 3 "reality" shows into their lineup.
* Why did they cut off a bit of the M when they redid the logo? They could have easily just axed the "Music Television" part at the bottom. Now the M looks too short.
** Well, [[Fridge Brilliance|it does make perfect sense]] [[Network Decay|that they'd take out part of the "M(usic)" in "MTV"]]...

:Yeah, 'cos [[David Bowie]] totally looked like an androgynous alien because it helped him make better music.
** He made ''different'' music when he looked like an androgynous alien than he did at other points in his career. His appearance did matter.
