No pregnant teenagers or Snooki. Those were the good old days.
No dumb girls getting pregnant or Shore...
well, we never let the preggies on MTV back then. They were on Springer.
I definetly agree with you 💯% MTV now is the deploration of humanity in general with the crap they show kids now a day's!
Goes to show you how Generation X and the Boomers create something wonderful and the millennials turned it to $hit in no time.
What the fuck is a "Snookie"?
In those early 80's MTV years I had a tiny apartment and lived alone. So when I was home I'd have MTV on constantly - even on when I slept. It was a kind of living-breathing background "noise" that I could dip in and out of whenever I wanted. It felt like these were my friends and we were all in this amazing music world together.
Those were very cool days 24-hour music on TV that was revolutionary then
Very well said

Absolutely GameChanger
I enjoyed making Video Killed the Radio Star in wandsworth london
These were the best VJs of MTV (1981-1986).
But, oh how we STILL lost one of 'em, J.J. Jackson.
I did not know J.J. passed away. May his name be blessed - April 8, 1941 - March 17, 2004)
R.I.P JJ Jackson, David Bowie and Classic MTV
MTV was/is the perfect example of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
I really miss the old days!
Me too. We did not have cell phones or internet but I love the early 80’s
My wife and i were both in high school when MTV came out. We both agree, MTV should suspend the idiotic programming every weekend and show classic MTV music videos. Begin on Friday night prime time and run non stop until late Sunday night.
During the early 2000s, MTV still cared about their rock and 80s roots. People kinda tend to forget that. It wasn't until about 2005 they went full blown reality TV and pretended like their past never existed.
JPMcFly1985Two #FeelTheBern very true. MTV used to air specials like this all the time amongst newer stuff like Making the Video
is that when they moved into he masonic lodge? i know its always been masonic controlled like everything but when the reality stuff started it became a full blown operation... n from what i can tell it worked.
"pretended like their past never existed" well said.
TRL destroy it.
It's true. I remember seeing clips of Sledgehammer, Video Killed and various Madonna videos on the regular in the late '90s. They were very proud of their heritage.
Rest in peace J.J. Jackson. You are still missed.
How did he die and when
@@kascnef He visited Chicago and got whacked by assident.
@Justin Fencsak he died from a heart attack while driving home to LA after dinner with a friend in 2004
Did anyone else watch the commercials? I did at first because I wasn't paying attention but then I was reminiscing as they were playing. It was weird. Thanks for posting this.
Oh how I miss these wonderful MTV days!
I really miss the good days of cool music and awesome VJ's! I grew up with you!!!!
1981 - 1986: Golden Years
1987 - 1999: Silver Years
2000 - 2009: Downfall
2010 - Now: Terrible
I miss this era of MTV. Annoyed at all the teen mom spinoffs and dumbass Floribama Shore. RIP JJ Jackson.
MTV is a shell of itself. It is so irrelevant today. It was great back in the day.
As far as I'm concerned, MTV has only had five VJs in their entire existence.
I ♥️ my “old school” MTV! You guys were the best!
I much prefer the original MTV.
From "Video Killed the Radio Star" to "Internet Killes the Rockstar".
God I'd give anything to relive those days in front of the original MTV on tele. It sure went downhill the last time I watched it in the 90's. Pure Crap
Beaver N It will downhill when they stopped showing music videos. Should we blame TRL for the downslide of the channel?
@@truediva18 The real world started it all.
@@christschool Yeah, "Real World" fucked everything up.
Pretty cool interviews with the MTV VJs! Also cool to see some footage of the early MTV videos and appearances from many of my fave musicians - David Bowie, Rod Stewart, Billy Idol, Duran Duran, Flock of Seagulls, Human League, Michael Jackson, Van Halen, Ozzy, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna!
Legend has it that "M" in MTV stood for Music
So sad that MTV doesn't even play music anymore! What a bunch of shit it has become!
Damn, do I miss those days. The internet really did ruin everything. I think it has done more bad than good when you look how it has changed our society and world.
I was 13 in 1983 and I have to say MTV opened my mind to other kinds of music. I did like the occasional MTV show- the tom green show was the last one I loved-but --it is so sad what it became. Same with Vh1! Remember how fun they used to be?
My brother(who's 13 years older than me) was only 6, but he distinctly remember loving MTV back then.
When MTV actually played music videos.
There's an MTV 80s channell but is not the same without the commercials, the DJS and MTV Flag intros.
The best was when MTV recently had some sort of birthday milestone and I saw a meme that said MTV TURNS 25 TODAY HELP CELEBRATE 15 YEARS OF MUSIC hahahahaha
Glorious! : D
I love 80's on 8on Sirius XM radio.
It was a great time to be that age. I still love to listen to the New Wave/New Romantic music and watch the music videos. If it weren't for MTV, that phenomenon would not have had mainstream success in the United States.
MTV(Music Television(80s)( not now) was/is a zeitgeist of its time.
Reality killed the MTV star
I Miss Them Especially J.J r.i.p
I was sitting in front of the tv with my friends when the launch and first video played. Being a teen in the 80s was the greatest. Graduated in 87 so i was in deep in the 80 and early 90s. Steve
after about 1990 mtv became a complete shell of its former self. People would probably watch if they went back to its original format

When MTV was perfect!! Alan, Mark, JJ, Martha, and Nina the perfect group!. Rest In Peace JJ. Thank God SiriusXM has them for 80s on 8 😄👍❤️
Alan was tolerable. The rest belong in a strip mall dumpster.
Those were the original when it was all music..all awesome!!! Being a lifelong Duran fan..I thanks these guys everyday!♥
It seemed like "Hungry Like the Wolf" played 24x7! Rio, The Reflex...great old times.
I still remember my sister calling me into house to watch Thriller world premiere video.
Such great memories! The first couple of years literally looked like Wayne's World, like it was underground television filmed in a basement. I remember an early studio interview with Hall & Oates where the band members started arguing with each other and I couldn't believe someone was actually broadcasting it on television.
That is some brilliant shit right there. Glad someone was able to witness it! : D
I had a crush on Martha
It was a great time to be young and totally into music when that rocket took off.
People forget Prince's "1999" Dec 1982 was first black video to come on MTV then Billy Jean 83!!! I used to love MTV we couldnt get it where i was in L.A. i dont know maybe cable co. wasnt broadcasting it jackberry cable we didnt Cinemax, Showtime, and ON TV so in 1982 i watched it all day all night in Texas it was perfect it was hot outside 102-03 degrees!! Buggles, The Bangles, The Go-Gos, Duran Duran, Eurythmics, Madness, Billy Idol, Adam Ant, Dexy Midnight Runners, Rod Stewart, Flock of Seaguls,Pat Benetar, Motels, Human League, Spandu Ballet, Prince, MJ, Cindy Lauper, Van Halen, Quiet Riot, Madonna, Journey, The Motels, Pretenders. I Loved MTV!!!!!
Ah, yes, back when MTV played music videos, History Channel played history shows, boys were boys, girls were girls and we knew who was sane and who needed an institution. The 80s were great fun.
Need it back now! MTV is just full of reality tv and other tv shows... more music more input from youth was what it used to be.
MTV-Music Television, In Stereo Where Available!
I Miss My MTV!!
Sting needs to do a reprise: I miss my, I miss my MTV. 😂
Mtv was like Coke. It was the best until they changed the formula and then it just sucked.
The original MTV VJ's were like the original NASA astronauts. Love them all.
I wish they stuck to damn music
3:30 holy crap, a real Meg Griffin!
Glad they didn't fire Alan Hunter. He was good. Always liked him. Of course they were all good.
R.I.P. triple J.
So here it is 19 years after a recap of a show 19 years earlier! A bloody paradox!
And now it's been 3 years since the comment about it being 19 years after a recap of a show about 19 years earlier!
mtv should change the name of the station
No - they don't need to change the name, they need to just stick to MUSIC TELEVISION! Which is what MTV was and should always be about and only about. They could have a separate division and name that MTV Reality TV instead, but they should never do away with MTV Music Television.
@@CarrieLuikens music to masonic..... they did
Look at TLC. Learning channel indeed
The M stands for "Moron."
They sent Alan Hunter “Amok in America” and he vanished from the channel. I liked him too.
That zeitgeist of the early 1980s of 24 hour music was repeated in the very early 1990s when the Internet arrived for many of the early adopters. I'm in Canada we didn't get MTV right away but we had Much Music in 1984 but before that and MTV we had The New Music an hour long show. It was like MTV or Much Music it was all about bands, interviews anything music just not 24 hours. Many of the interviews from years earlier were shown on Much Music. Here's one brief look at the start of an episode keep in mind computer and graphics were very limited for the time th-cam.com/video/SV4FWTJ8TJw/w-d-xo.html
Happy Birthday to Nina.9-12-55.Springfield,MA. The original MTV VJ's.Graduated from Rocky River High.
J.J's heart attack joke is so bad in hindsight.
I was 14yrs old when MTV came out. I tried to look like Nina Blackwood.
who's seeing this for the first time in 2024? Hard to find actually find posts of early years WITH music videos, but they are out there
They should thank Mick Nesmith for this concept, since he was the one who came up with it.
Alan Hunter and Mark Goodman are both beautiful and sexy guys. I still listen to them on Sirius XM on 80's on 8 in 2018. I was sadden that Martha Quinn quit working as a VJ on 80's on 8 couple of years ago. I love 80's on 8. Now there is only three left Nia, Alan, and Mark, since Martha left.
I can vividly remember being one of the first houses in the neighborhood to get cable. I invited about 20 kids over after school one day to watch this AWESOME NEW THING called MTV.
Happy 38th Anniversary to MTV and the VJs!
Black. White. We didn't give a F. We were GenX. It was an awesome time!!
THIS IS AWESOME! IT HAD ME USE MY OWN HOBBY WITH VIDEO TAPES WHILE COPPING REGULAR VIDEOS AND MAKING MY OWN! IT IS AWESOME THE VJS ARE NOW DJS ON THE XM80S RADIO STATION
I was 11 when MTV premiered. I'm Canadian, and we couldn't get MTV. But I happened to be in Spokane WA visiting relatives that day. My older cousin told me we had to stay up until midnight to see this new channel start up. I didnt get it, but I waited and remember the excitement of the screen going from fuzz to the countdown of the rocket ship launching and the music starting as the spaceman planted the flag. I witnessed history.
The first 8 to ten years were magic.....to bad it turned to shit.
I didn't stay up that night to watch but I started watching the next day or so. And I lived in Spokane Wa.
Martha Quinn!
Man, they sure picked the right five. I am forever in the debt of J.J., Mark, Alan, Nina and of course, Martha for being such an integral part of my youth.
Watching a show 20 years later, that was about stuff that happened 20 years before that, that I remember first hand...feeling old lol.
Society has went backwards and so downhill since then
I remember there were some good concerts on mtv. A couple that come to mind are Prince with Shelia E. and George Thorogood. Of course there was Live Aid and the whole unplugged movement as well.
I had, have the biggest crush on Martha Quinn.
When MTV was actually decent. Today, it's a flushable butt-wipe...
Martha.....
I was 15 in 1981......
I gave her probably 1 gallon of attention in those days......
See that's when ppl looked and acted norml.
0:10 if this was 1998 how could that guy NOT know who Alan Hunter was? Even if he was 18-20 years old, that's definitely old enough to remember the 80s.
he didnt watch mtv
In the Bible belt, MTV was banned from cable networks. It was like living in Footloose. That's where the "I want my MTV!" phrase came from. We didn't get MTV on Cable in my neck of the woods until 1999. All we had was VH1.
@@retrocausality6159
I live in the Bible Belt (Mississippi) and we had MTV a few months after it started.
would love to see the original format return
I was working for a cable company at the time of the release of MTV and they sent us some great promotion things , Guitar picks, Pins, Tee shirts, Hats, I still have my guitar pick and pins. My boss was really into music as myself and a few others in are install department and he said on the QT " make sure you are home to check out the launch of the channel " If I remember correct it was 12:00 in the after noon that it kicked off and I watch it all the time in the beginning....But as the changes started to take place in there format I started to lose interest in it.....Here is a bit of trivia, it is well known as to what the first video that was played , but was but who was the second artist to be played ???????? Pat Benatar
17:04 Oh the irony
Toooo bad that MTV is now crap!
Amazing how they could do something so groundbreaking and then throw it all in the trash...
I remember watching the first video (Buggles) and several hours on the first night of MTV until my folks forced me to go to bed around 11pm. Watched religiously all month thru August '81 until school started in Sept. I went to school (9th grade) and asked everyone what they thought of MTV - They all just looked at me like, "WTF are you goin' on about?"
very good...miss those days.
Such an amazing time. Love the rewind in 2000, just before the world went to shit with 9/11.
Sweet, sweet memories! Thanks for posting, wish the border wasn't so big. Pure nostalgic bliss! 💗📺🎶
I want my MTV! ❤️👍
The first 4 years of MTV were Great! After that, Shitier & shitier.
Ii want my MTV!
Alan, can I still get in on those passes to Cheap Trick?
Is MTV still on?
Yass! I grew up with all of them.
THOSE were the days!!!
I spent the entire afternoon trying to disarm Martha...
Then I spent the evening trying to disrobe Martha.
I love you babe!💖👍😎
Found what I was looking for. lol
"We had our black dude, the Jew" OMG I think he'd probably get into so much trouble for saying that today!
Lisa M Read the book,’I Want My MTV,’ it’s one of the best I have ever read and the higher ups actually said that when they were trying to find VJ’s.
Crazy. Huh???
Alan was quoting what the execs said! He didnt say it!
Search here for (Sinful Demo Album 1985) featuring Joie Anes B4 Rockcandy & Nuno Bettencourt B4 Extreme!!!! Enjoy
Back When MTV was All about The Music ,and Giving Away, Trips to Party, With Van Halen,or Aerosmith
I remember the Spring day I came home from school and found that my local cable company had added the (brand new) MTV. First video they played was Thomas Dolby, "She Blinded Me With Science." And I don't think that channel changed for the next five years or more. Even though I hated most of the music, there was always something that would come along to edify (culturally), delight or inform.
I basically stopped watching MTV in January 1983, when I went into the Navy. After that I had money to buy cassettes, a boom box, and concert tickets...
interesting documentary! Nina I've seen several times on a Frank Zappa Halloween special live performance he did, where he's speaking to her and I think Alan before performing. Epic stuff from Zappa :)
The trade-off is that we're all on the nostalgia train here on YT. However I would argue that the advent of the webcam killed the video star and introduced the world to reality tv. And like a virus compareable to a digital pandemic it infected all the programming of syndicated channels world-wide. As a result, all the creatively well-produced thoughtful shows and programming succumbed to utter complacency and laziness and not to mention pure greed. The production cost of holding a wobbly digital camera on your shoulder while following a bunch of sychophants around a house is cheap but they still sold ad time at over-inflated rates. C'est la vie. It's life I guess the world changes sometimes for the better sometimes not. But I am loving this aspect of YT for sure ")
I watched this when it originally aired,and the second one as well.
