I was teenaged and already jaded when MTV came out. The first year was Ok, then the mafia bought it and down the tubes it went.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Had 4 TV channels via antenna while in the country when I was in High School. Went to Iowa for my Grandpa's funeral around that time. Stayed in a hotel. Turned on the TV and saw 4 Aussies jumping up and down in the dessert, dragging a stuffed koala on a rope. I thought...what the hell is this? Funny stuff. Later I asked my Dad what a vegemite sandwich was, and if Mom could make them for us. I still remember his face looking at me, wondering what the hell I was talking about. Didn't see MTV again until about 3 or 4 years later when in college. We were rural and before we got MTV we had Friday Night Videos.    Friday Night Videos Intro (Sep 30, 1983) |

Quote HistoryQuoted: As far as teen pop goes, it doesn't get more 80s than Tiffany wearing a jean jacket and singing "I think we're alone now" in a mall. Actually, it does get better than that- a guy I grew up with was dating her at the time… @woodsie |

Quoted: ... you had an AWESOME childhood.  Joan Jett - Crimson & Clover Missing Persons - Destination Unknown The Clash - Rock the Casbah Men At Work - Down Under The Bangles - Walk Like an Egyptian The Go-Go's - Head Over Heels NENA | 99 Red Balloons Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now Talking Heads - Burning Down the House To this day it's Pavlovian to switch the channel when I hear the songs mentioned. (except Talking Heads and Devo, but you have to hunt for those) Luckily so many of the artificial MTV "hits" and Stars are no longer with us. Dexy's Midnight Runners Men Without Hats Men At Work Mike and The Mechanics It was great but that's it's own death sentence. The suits saw there was big bucks untapped and there it goes. You knew it was the end when that pompous ass Kurt Loder appeared. It did have us scrambling pre internet for August 1978 Playboy's Girls of The Office featuring a brunette Nina Blackwood. |

This is my exact story except it was a family reunion at my Grandparent’s house. Some of my cousins were in the back den watching MTV. “White Wedding” was the first video I ever saw. @scuba_steve |

I was on alert (SAC nuke alert) when MTV first came on. At least one tv in the alert facility was always tuned to MTV. We called it ‘watching the radio’. This was in the day of the cable remote being a box with switches for each channel (25 of them!) connected to the tv by a long cord.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The first videos on MTV in 83/84 were Take On Me by Ah Ha, video killed the radio star, by I don't remember. When MTV first came on, I was in heaven. We used to watch Friday Night Videos on NBC, but then MTV made it a whole channel before they got fucking retarded and stopped playing videos. Us poor kids had to stay up and watch Friday Night Videos… |

That didn't last too long. That's the only thing keeping me subscribed to Sirius. They actually adhered to that. Yea, they have a few promo spots but for the most part it's just content. They seem to be the only one who kept the promise. |
