Knockback, Episode 270 | MTV
Added 2023-10-01 16:00:12 +0000 UTCIf you're an American gen-xer or millennial, there's a better-than-decent chance you were heavily influenced by MTV growing up. Launched in the early '80s, culturally crescendoing in the '90s, and still highly-relevant into the 2000s, MTV's brand of so-called 'music television' helped define a succession of generations' musical tastes, fashion, and the wider spectrum of entertainment full-stop. Today's episode of KnockBack is dedicated to MTV through the eyes of two people born in 1973 and 1984, both loyal viewers of the network not unlike millions upon millions of their respective contemporaries. There were the music videos, yes. And they were glorious. But there's so much more to delve into, too: Programming (120 Minutes, Headbangers Ball, TRL), spin-offs (VH1, MTV2), the rise of reality television as we know it (The Real World, Road Rules), and on and on and on. We definitely wanted our MTV. Did you?

2023-10-03 15:36:21 +0000 UTCTom Greens Bum Bum song was #1 on TRL for one day. He had to retire it because he knew it was unfair to NSYNC and 98 degrees. MTV goat shows were Osbornes, 3 South, Rob and Big, MADE, Your Mamma, Punked, True Life, Viva La Bam, Making of the Video and of course Jackass. We get stoned and watch MTV all the time.

2023-10-02 07:41:41 +0000 UTCGuys, great episode. Random MTV story. I remember my older sister had a Depeche mode compilation tape that took her what seemed like years to record off MTV. Well, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned when her little brother (me), inadvertently recorded over her Depeche mode video Bible to record an episode of the teenage mutant ninja turltes animated series episode. It was a blood bath that day. Im still scarred.

2023-10-01 21:33:42 +0000 UTCI feel the most iconic Tom Green episode was when he had the guy from jackal as his guest. He cut up his desk with his chainsaw guitar. He was sincerely pissed off. Classic.
