More like 2.
They did give at least a solid twelve years of music. The best unplugged episodes were in the early nineties.
The early 90’s is also when they started showing less and less music and more shit like The Real World, Road Trip and Beavis & Butt-Head. Even when I was a kid and saw Nirvana’s Unplugged set (arguably the best episode of Unplugged), the saying that “MTV doesn’t have music videos” was already a popular joke.
Beavis and Butthead were riffing on music videos for almost half the show though at least. Sometimes was the best part
…at least through ninety-five they still ran music videos overnight and weekly themed shows (120 minutes, headbanger’s ball, MTV raps) at specific timeslots, but by the mid-nineties music videos had been relegated to graveyard-shift filler as the network increasingly focused on conventional programming…
…fourteen years is a pretty fair assessment, methinks…
Too bad it doesn’t still exist. Its just a empty filler channel and has been for over a decade.
Is 43 a significant number? Everything turns some number every year
Weird, a couple of years ago, it was only 10 years. They crammed 4 years of music into two years apparently.
Now let’s do Rolling Stone!
