    We also watched it fall apart while we were growing up.

    I remember when M2 debuted with the idea that it would just play music videos, you know … like MTV used to.

      I didn’t mind when MTV stopped playing music; Rob & Big, Viva la Bam, and Pimp my Ride were very entertaining and helped define my latter teenage years. The day MTV2 just became just MTV with rearranged timeslots was the beginning of the end. And now MTV is just The Ridiculousness Network now. It’s practically the only thing they air these days.
