Thoughts on MTV Classic Almost 3 Months After Launch - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TheLogoMan94 · 09-22-2016, 06:40 PM

October 1st will make 3 months since the launch of MTV Classic. How does your current opinion about the network differ from your prior opinion about the network before it launched? Has it changed? Has it remained the same?

Here's my take: I tried to not let my expectations get too high about this network. I figured Viacom would find some way to ruin it (they always do). Safe to say, I wasn't surprised. Sure, I like some of the video blocks they air in the early morning hours, but that's about it. They had an error this morning on one of their music video blocks by accidentally playing early 2000's music (such as Kelly Clarkson) as part of their "I Want My '80s" block of videos, which I suspect was an error. Going back on topic, I watch nothing else on this network. To be honest, I haven't watched it in almost 1 month. Overall, the channel isn't that great. Like all of Viacom's channels, it lacks variety and isn't well-planned. Maybe I'll watch a music video or two in the early morning hours, but that's all I would watch.

I like watching the videos but that's all. I was hoping they'd play Remote Control and Singled Out. I loved those shows.

First thing I saw when I woke up that morning and turned the TV on was Kanye West

, I haven't turned it on since.

Eh. Beavis and Butthead and Jackass is nice but B&B airings are from 2011 and Jackass, they didn't make a lot of episodes.

The old Real World's I would watch but there on at such an odd time, I never get a chance to watch them. Other than that, nothing really I like.

I have never seen the channel yet because it suppose to be focusing on only both the 1980s & the 1990s in my view.
