It was said video killed the radio star, but now reality tv has killed t.v. sitcoms.

trust me,it's not you..when flipping aimlessly looking for music videos,i'm always shocked & amazed when mtv is actually playing one. i must be old..i remember back in the day when mtv was nothing BUT music videos..\nand a side note,doesn't it seem like "reality" shows have changed the definition of the word "reality"?

The man lost credibility a long time ago and is best taken at the entertainment level...sort of like an unintentional Colbert character.

Stop watching them.  The only reason they keep making them is because people support and still watch them.  MTV reality shows, IMHO, are nothing but softcore Girls Gone Wild shows or Jerry Springer reruns.  And TRL?  It's an infomercial.  The people that stand outside the building are morons.

I always thought they were just saying "oh, oh oh oh oh..." In any case, I think it's just one of those background chants that used to frequently be heard in songs that were popular in the "radio age." In other words, the song is about a period in time when music and lyrics were simpler, and listening to the radio was a "purer" and "more innocent" activity done for pure enjoyment. Hence their message that "video killed the radio star" meaning that that simplicity of song and lyrics does not transcribe well to visual media, which require physical presence, dancing skills, and all sorts of other attributes that a radio star from a "purer, simpler" age might not possess.

It's quite a shame. If I wanted reality, I wouldn't be watching TV.

I agree, MTV is literally poisening Americas youth.  These shows are so rediculous that kids think that the world is really like that.  They also make useless idiots like P Diddy and Paris Hilton celebrities.  I used to watch when I was younger and now Im blown away with how bad it is getting.  I never watch it anymore and neither will my kids when I have them.

LOL.  You asked the million $ question.  I always thought it would be funny if someone made a TV show or movie about how people watch reality TV.  I figure that would be the end of reality TV as people would feel really dumb wasting their time and do something else.  Funny how people critique parents for trying to live through their chidren.  People try to live through reality TV and escape their own.  If a show or movie of pathetic people watching reality TV did exist, all reality TV would dissapear.

We can hope, but I can't imagine it getting axed.  It seems to be extremely popular, although I gave it up when Lisa Ling left, and they brought in Elisabeth Hasselbeck.  I cannot stand her at all.  Now a days, I just catch clips of it on youtube.com, and that's enough blabbering for me.  For "professionals", they sure talk over one another an awful lot.

I cant figure why they took it off. I loved it ,and almost everyone I knew watched it also. Where do they get this bogus info they {supposedly} use to cancel a t.v. series? Wish someone would ask me what I think! My shows are always going it seems.

I think they both suck too. It used to be all about video's and now they are all about shows. It's just like MTV2, was all about videos and now it's about shows. So I personally think they both suck.

MTV has to be the most *useless* channel on TV

I heard it was canceled and mourned it's loss, too.  Which is rather ironic considering it's called "DEAD Like Me". \nAnyway... :(

I actually stopped watching VH1 for that reason.

God I hope not.  It's bad enough that so called Reality TV is on the air let alone on DVD.

NO! I am really bummed. I've been watching the reruns to make sure I didn't miss any shows. But her show was unique offering crafts info on so many subjects. There's no other show like it. At least not show here on the east coast. Plus Carol was so much fun to watch. She got excited over projects just like the rest of us. How sad it's gone.

Reality TV takes away jobs from working actors.  As anyone can be a reality TV star, the Screen Actor's Guild doesn't get any revinue from the reality people.  \nAlso, it puts writers out of work.  \nOne more thing, many REALITY tv shoes aren't actually REALITY.  Many things are cut and edited so we can't see them all.  If not banned, they should at least be renamed to something more appropriate, like "unscripted TV"
