I don't understand why he has to watch it for hours at a time, but he does...and let me tell you, that music NEVER gets tollerable.

Aside from the 10 minutes a day devoted to Britney Spears (eck) or N Sync (really eck), everytime I flip on MTV it seems to be nothing other than Road Rules or some other lame show. This is a big problem with me. I mean, if you're going to call yourself "Music Television" I'd think that you'd actually play some frickin' MUSIC once in a while. The "Weather Channel" doesn't play soap operas, so why does the Music one?

When I was a kid, I NEVER watched MTV. Or even the Weather Channel.

PS- I just figured out why the Weather Channel always goes by its full name instead of using initials like TNN, MTV, and ESPN. Watching the WC doesn't sound too interesting.
