Exactly. That is a major pet peeve of mine. Whoever made that decision at MTV should be smacked. In the 90's I really started to dislike the popular music of the day, so it's not that I missed the music; just the principle of the thing. They really started the whole "lifestyle" programming BS. Ever watch ESPN/SportsCenter? Now they're making their own sports movies. Sometimes their talk shows get way out of the sports realm too. And instead of giving decent coverage to the plethora of under-served sports out there(mainly MMA for me), they waste time on SportsCenter doing lame comedy bits. History Channel, what does Ice Road Truckers have to do with history? When was the last time I learned anything on The Learning Channel besides seeing home and wardrobe makeovers? A&E? It used to live up to it's name with the Biography show and cool stuff that you don't see on every other channel(like Sherlock Holmes). Now it shows edited Sopranos episodes and, if I'm not mistaken, lame reality shows. Speaking of which, isn't it time for VH1 to change it's name to RTV1(reality tv). And yes, I do know that there is a Biography channel, but amazingly enough even niche channels like it fall victim to MTV-like "lifestyle" programming. G4 is pathetic now. I saw the writing on the wall when they started showing that crappy Fox show with Tiffani Amber Thiessen and all the drift racing crap. Ok, I feel better now. :)
