This item just recently came across my grid. I won’t comment at all on the subject of it, but it does bring to mind a question I’ve been pondering for years.<\/p>\n

Someone named “Nev” Schulman has been accused of making sexual remarks to women on his show “Catfish,” an MTV series.<\/p>\n

OK. I’m done with that.<\/p>\n

Here’s the question: Why did MTV do away with its original mission, which was to televise “music videos”? Doesn’t MTV stand for “Music Video Television”?<\/em> Yes, I believe it does.<\/p>\n

I haven’t watched anything that MTV shows since it abandoned its signature premise. I used to watch it all the time. I don’t know “Catfish” from “Blowfish.”<\/p>\n

I understand MTV<\/a> went to a “reality television” format, which is laughable on its face, given that no “reality” situation on TV bears any resemblance to actual reality<\/em>.<\/p>\n

MTV won’t return to showing music videos. I guess the network has hit a home run with the audience it has sought. I’m too old to get into the young’ns’ “reality TV” fetish.<\/p>\n

It’s just that MTV had a good thing when it debuted in August 1981. Then it tossed it aside.<\/p>\n

They had me … then they lost me.<\/p>\n\n
