MTV needs to buy a channel and call it MTV Retro and just play hours on any and all music videos (all genres from any decade hopefully more so 80s and 90s). They can play shows like Remote Control, Singled Out, The Jenny McCarthy Show, Oddities, Daria, Beavis and Butthead, Road Rules (Winnebago era), Love Line and old episodes of Real World nothing newer than 2005. They can use the old MTV commercial shorts and hell, even replay old episodes of 120 Minutes, Alternative Nation, and Headbanger's Ball.

I miss being younger than those young adults MTV was geared toward at the time. It gave me a certain perception of the college years, and the New York area focus MTV had at the time added to the otherwordly sense when watching from my "middle America" town, along with seeing commercials for stuff nowhere near me and cable channels that I never had. Those Ha Network commercials were ubiquitous for a while. Colin and Susan Ashley were totally all over each other.

I went to the auditions where they had us answer a bunch of questions to determine how much current pop culture we knew, and I didn’t pass. So I walked out of the audition, and got right back in line and took the test again a bit later and somehow, got many more of the exact same questions correct! It was an open audition from an ad in the back of the Village Voice, so there were tons of people there and I’m pretty sure we all just looked the same.
