No More TRL on MTV

Hello There My Lovelies,

Okay, so you may have heard that Fox recently canceled Mad TV. That is just SOOO not cool. I always loved Mad TV over SNL. The skits were more twisted, funnier, and I was a total fan of Ms. Swan. I will miss it all !

Speaking of SNL (Saturday Night Live), I am really sad that Amy Poehler recently left the show. She was one of the last ones around that really cracked me up. Too bad she's gone now. I miss most of the old cast that was around during 2000 and a few years after that. But then people started leaving and I lost track.

But what is really making me sad is MTV cancelling TRL (Total Request Live). It started airing in 1998. I was a junior in high school then and Britney Spears and
N Sync were gaining popularity. Despite her antics, I still like Britney Spears. I've always been a quiet fan of hers. Her songs were always on the playlist.

I actually started watching TRL in 1999 when I moved into the dorms at San Jose State. I would come in after class and watch it in the lounge before I would go to the Dining Commons for dinner. Back then Carson Daly was the host. I stopped watching TRL after I graduated from SJSU and lived in Barcelona. I don't know who the host is now. Besides, I'm not into most of the artists that they have now anyway. Some of the artists that I used to watch all the time up there were Britney Spears, N'Sync, Backstreet Boys, Limp Bizkitt, No Doubt, Eminem, Christina Aguilera, 98 Degrees and Mariah Carey.

I will try to get this last show recorded, as I will be working. I am sad that it's coming to an end, because then that just means that I am getting older. I know that my university days and clubbing days are over, but this show coming to an end just reinforces that I am getting older and that this show (which I loved dearly during those times) must come to an end to make room for newer trends aka the younger crowd.
