August 1st, 1981 - MTV made its debut at 12:01am. The first video to be shown was "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the Buggles.

Ive watched most of the VH1 Classic Marathon for MTV and its been ok. I mean they should have put more shows on. All they did was show parts of shows and they would have it on a loop, so certain things Ive already seen 2 or 3 times.

I will say big props for showing the first hour of MTV. Even though the first 10-12 mins. was a pre launch with a showing of a space shuttle with the MTV logo at the bottom, the overall hour was good. They aired it uncensored and left everything in. What I mean is that they left the technical difficulites and even the COMMERICALS!!!. There was a commerical for "The Movie Channel"!!! Good stuff!!!

So if I was to grade the MTV 30 Special on VH1 Classic, I would give it maybe a B or a B+.
