In all honesty, I've in recent years tried to avoid MTV like a plauge due to all of the considerably crappy tripe that they pass off as programming (typically, bottom of the barrell scraping, scripted reality shows) these days. The only times that I bothered tuning in on a lenghty basis was for the 2008 VMAs and for the last episode of "TRL".
Last year, MTV had the nerve to build their New Year's show around that talentless shank, Tila Tequila. Now, they're using their "FNMTV" show (pretty much the only thing on that channel relatively resembling music these days, not that "TRL" is no longer on the air) to center on Miley Cyrus (one of the most overexposed celebrities that I can think of in recent memory).
And this is one of the things that I utterly hate the most about MTV these days. Instead of being cutting edge and innovative, they now a days follow whatever is considered hip, trend and cool in the eyes of tweens/teenyboppers at the moment (a la Miley Cyrus). They should be leading instead of following if you ask me.

programming as "A Double Shot of Love". I'm becoming convinced that Satan is programming MTV.
