So long TRL !!!!!!!!!! To be honest..I thought this show was already off the air...I was wrong...but after 9 years...looks like the once-redhot countdown show is dunzo!
..... Total Request Live, the MTV video show which launched Carson Daly into our lives and which defined, or at least stood in for, a certain element of American pop culture for many years, has reportedly been canceled. Jossip broke the news. This is the latest event in a downsizing-full week at MTV, during which the company laid off 5.5% of its staff, in order to retool itself for the digital age. (Note that this week MTV also announced a YouTube hedging video-sharing initiative.) Gawker has more rumors of specific departments and network-lets being cleaned out across the board. The gist: they're crystallizing their overall programming trend of the past few years. Fewer music videos, more teen and young adult-aimed reality, clip and magazine shows.

This show singlehandedly dumbed down the American youth to the level where kids today are astonished to learn that once upon a time, there was no such thing as "emo."
It will NOT be missed. | |

MTV killed the soul of rock-n-roll and I can't say enough unkind things about it. With the exception of Tom Green, nothing good has come out of MTV in more than a decade.
Bring back Martha Quinn!!!!! | |

I'll tune in to College Hill if they're not screaming the whole episode "Nobody makes me bleed my own blood...NOBODY!"

How can they call themselves a music channel when they hardly ever play videos or have programs that are music related? I look forward to the demise of MTV and I mean that. It needs to go. And for TRL, I'm glad it's going. It'll be one less burden to deal with while walking down Times Square. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince.
