Insipid Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Dude, you're only a few years older than me. TV stopped being relevant to our generation ten years ago. Who cares? Use the fucking internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the fucking internet. 10 years ago anime streaming was nowhere near the powerhouse it is today with everyone clamoring to get a piece of the pie Funimation had thought so little about streaming that they made a contract with toonami that they regret to this day(being unable to stream attack on titan episodes until toonami has aired it on television) and if you are gonna mention piracy(a lot of those websites are a bit too sketchy...some won't even let you view them if you are using an ad-blocker) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seight Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Did you see Reelz tried to air an Original Character Do Not Steal version of Live PD and the first hour ended up being a black screen followed by reruns of another show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsar4 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 The only thing cool about VH1 was when they ran movies back in the 80's late at night (they were playing Kentucky Fried Movie one night). USA had "Up All Night" with Rhonda Shear toward the late 80s. CBS had Don Kirshner's Rock Concert & NBC had The Midnight Special (mostly hosted by Wolfman Jack). I remember reading a write-up on what was going on when Nugent was the main guest/host on The Midnight Special. He would not appear if Anne Murray or John Denver were hosts on the Special's shows preceding his or after his & he got to choose who would be on the show with him. One of the bands he picked was Cheap Trick - and Nugent apparently told Rick Nielsen (off camera) he should get a real guitar, like his own Gibson Birdland. The story went that while Nugent was playing on camera, Rick started flicking guitar picks at Ted (as he does to the audience while in concert). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the videos were concerned I only cared about what they showed on The Rock Show, but they 100% responsible for getting me into Iron Maiden, if not more bands. Other than The Rock Show, my taste in music was partly shaped by shows such as Legends and Behind the Music (oddly enough it was the Megadeth episode that got me into Judas Priest). Another mini-series they did that shaped my musical taste was The Top 100 Greatest Hard Rock Artists of All Time. Other than all that, I was a fan of the I love the [decade] shows.

Ok, so to be fair, at that time I was mostly into hip hop and blues and that wasn't really in their collection, so the videos didn't suck...they just weren't what I was looking for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilosipherStoned Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) The last time I watched VH1 was probably when I was 15 maybe younger with free cable, and no cell phone. A decade and a half ago? Fuck lol... It had it's moments I guess, but mostly the top music vid countdown, and seeing the cringe of a few hiphop stars from before my time is all I remember. The Flavor of Love...Bizzare on that celebrity weight loss thing. VH1 was cringing before cringe even trended online. At least they can say that.

Since you are are/were into blues, do you know any artists known for doing the type of slide guitar songs that movies/TV use for soundtrack to desolate wasteland scenes?

Chapinator_X Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 They couldn’t quite get out of the funk they were in during the 2000’s with all their celebrity reality shows. Looks like it’s mostly Love & Hip-hop and Drag Race at this point, but at the very least, they’re farther from the days when Dr Drew destroyed the channel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Line with Dr Drew and Adam Corolla. I haven't really watched VH1 or MTV in probably a decade, at the least. It was all moving away from music even in the 90's and just went down the toilet after the 00's started. My cable company doesn't even carry them anymore. I think the only time I catch any of it is if I'm at a hotel and there's a clipshow marathon on MTV and nothing else is on. Then it's background noise.

Seight Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Wait, I just remembered they put Wild N' Out on VH1 because by law Ridiculousness must make up a vast majority of MTV's weekly airtime now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Drew had Celebrity Rehab for the longest time on VH1 and that’s what mostly aired by the time MTV switched over to 24/7 Ridiculousness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a relatively short lived televised version of the legendary KROQ show which was running concurrently. Dr. Drew branched out on his own (while still on KROQ) starting in the mid '00s when he started his shown on VH1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
