Last night, in true MTV style, TRL bid a fond farewell to the last 5 viewers it had left. After a 10 year run, MTV finally pulled the plug on it's fledgling music video countdown show. I don't know about you all but I used to love TRL when I was in high school. It was all the hot videos brought to us via Carson Daley with a quick guest spot here, and a shout out there. Remember when Mariah Carey stormed the stage in a tye-dye t-shirt and no pants and had a total melt down as we all watched in awe? Man, that was so classic! Then our beloved countdown show took a turn for the worst. Carson Daley moved on to bigger things and the show slowly morphed into an hour long promo spot. All the celebs stopped by to market their newest "whatever." They started pushing the Laguna Beach crew down our throats and they played like 5 seconds of video in between telling teens and young adults what overpriced mainstream piece of crap they needed to buy, do, or wear to be like their fave celeb. Just thinking about it makes me throw up in my mouth a little.Well, all I can say is, "It's about damn time!" It took them way too long to put TRL out to pasture. But I, much like you, will never forget all the weekdays after school sitting in front of the TV hoping *NSYNC beat out The Backstreet Boys for top spot, or hardly being able to wait to see the world premiere of the new Christina Aguilara video. *Sigh*
Rest In Peace TRL, rest in peace.
