I was gonna think that the Taiwanese webcomic was gonna get a American animated series, this will be produced by Paramount Animation with MTV Entertainment Studios, Nickelodeon...

    MTV's Daria Turns 25

    I won't post the entire article here but it does suggests that the show Daria became something of an anachronism while it was still on the air. It was basically, the last gasp of '90s Gen X slacker culture. Shortly into its run, that type of youth culture all but gave way to what the article...

    Did Sumner Redstone do more harm than good to Viacom's cable networks?

    Before I continue, I must preface that I'm not necessarily here to immediately "speak ill of the recently deceased". I'm merely passing along what former MTV News correspondent Gideon Yago said about Sumner Redstone. Long story short, Yago accused Redstone of building his empire off of the backs...

    Is 'Comedy Central' in danger of being discontinued?

    The basic gist of this article is that Comedy Central in wake of recent Viacom-CBS merger, has laid off top executives while looking for cheaper, unscripted shows to produce. Meanwhile, Comedy Central's schedule has become heavy in reruns of South Park, The Office, and Parks and Recreations...

    Why did the Beavis & Butt-head revival (2011) fail?

    I want to believe that it came out in the wrong era. When it came back, MTV wasn't exactly what it was like when it was first on in the '90s. I don't want to go on this spiel about MTV's "network decay" but to put things simply, the show just looked out of place on modern MTV (or MTV circa...

    Comcast to Drop Jennifer Lopez-Owned Fuse Music Channel

    I hate to say this but I'm not the bit surprised. Fuse if you ask me really jumped the shark when MSG sold it to SiTV Media in 2014. Up until that point, Fuse (it was initially Much Music US, which is the Canadian version of MTV) was virtually the only channel in the United States that was...

    Is Viacom dead right now?

    I don't have time right now to really analyze each and every one of Viacom's channels right now (I'll leave that to TV Tropes' "network decay" pages), but to give you some food for thought, here are the Top 5 Basic Cable Networks of August 2018 (Prime Time) Fox News (2,299,000) / +4 percent...

    MTV Classic Almost 2 Years Later: Thoughts?

    What's your takeaway of MTV Classic? Do you feel any different about it now compared to its launch in 2016? If you were Viacom, would you get rid of the network? Nielsen statistics show MTV Classic was the least watched cable network in the country in 2016, with an average of 31,000 viewers...

    TV Trash: ReAnimated/Out of Jimmy’s Head

    Basically, ReAnimated/Out of Jimmy's Head is cited as the exact moment that Cartoon Network started its late 2000s "dork age" (the Stuart Snyder years). The theory was then presented that Out of Jimmy's Head was really in a round about way, intended to sell viewers on the idea of live-action...

    What was the exact "point of no return" moment for MTV?

    I bring this up in honor of the 37 anniversary of MTV's birth (August 1, 1981). Please bare in mind, that I'm not necessarily referring to when you believe that MTV initially "jumped the shark" (i.e. "when they stopped playing music videos"). I'm referring to the moment that it became quite...

    Can Cardi B save MTV's VMAs from irrelevance?

    The struggling summer awards show may get a boost from the rapper's 10 nominations. The VMAs losing relevance is quite simple, it's partially due to the prevalence of the internet. Simple put, award shows feel less important thanks to social media, and therefore artists invest less time and...

    Does MTV use reality shows as a crutch or a stop gap measure

    Case in point, this recent article from Forbes that examines how MTV's current programming chief, Chris McCarthy doubled down on more reality TV after their failed experiment with scripted content. It was only four years ago, that Buzzfeed pondered when MTV was going to stop it with its...

    Looking for REALLY horrific cartoon!

    *WARNING: Disturbing info!* Been on and off looking for this cartoon for over a decade. Here's what I remember. - I saw it either on IFC or MTV between 1996 and 2000. - It came on before Beavis & Butthead Do America. - The video was about a woman with a face with no skin. - She wandered around...

    MTV Classic (US) News & Discussion Thread

    I'm guessing this thread belongs here. VH1 Classic announced a while back through social media that on August 1st, the 35th anniversary of MTV, they'd be relaunching as MTV Classic. I thought it was just going to be a simple rename with maybe a smaller focus on rock music and more of a general...

    MTV won't celebrate New Year's Eve, perhaps for the 1st time in its historyu

    Is this simply "further" confirmation that MTV is behind the curve (at least in regards to what's "hip" or what makes up to the "zeitgeist") or no longer a truly relevant force in popular culture? http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/mtv-teen-wolf-new-years-eve-ridiculousness-1201667455/ It should...
