Oh yes. I love them.

reminds me of the Dire Straits song...I WANT MY MTV!!!

**Melis** · 07-26-2016, 11:39 AM

I don't know that.

I am sure you would if you heard it. Here:

It sounds familiar.

**Barrybgb** · 07-28-2016, 08:25 AM

Well, it looks like the new MTV Classic channel is going to be exactly what I feared it would be. Basically, not much 80s. The usual few 90s shows and a smattering of shows from the 2000s. Basically, MTV Millennial. Now I already miss VH1 Classic.

**GardenSirens** · 07-28-2016, 09:38 AM

i'm pumped for it. Even though I own Daria and Beavis and Butthead, i'd love to see them on tv.

**Barrybgb** · 07-28-2016, 09:44 AM

They already have "Daria" and some other shows On Demand in the MTV section under MTV Retro. Basically, not a whole lot of new.

**My Kind Of Crazy** · 07-28-2016, 10:56 AM

i love daria

**Melis** · 07-28-2016, 11:41 AM

That doesn't sound classic to me.

Not to me either. I knew it was too good to be true.

**GardenSirens** · 07-28-2016, 02:26 PM

unfortunately, the 90s are classic now. I heard Green Day and Guns n Roses and REM on the classic rock station recently.

Great article.

To call a channel MTV Classic and mostly ignore the moment it began, the moment when “I want my MTV” became a catchphrase, is both insulting to the generation that popularized that catchphrase and flat-out inaccurate.

This is a good statement.

that '80s artifacts have an appeal that extends beyond people who grew up during that decade.

Really, shouldn’t we all have the opportunity to escape the present and wallow in the bad haircuts and rampant sexism of yesteryear? Especially if Donald Trump winds up in the White House?

lol OMG!
