Total Request Live (or TRL for short) was a decent show for a short time back in the late 90′s, but quickly lost its appeal as corporate interests overtook the real purpose of the show – showing the days top videos.Â As with everything on MTV over time, the videos began having less & less of a role on the popular TV show.

The hosts have always been lame, but getting to see the best videos & new release pretty much every day was a pleasure & something that many teens looked forward to each afternoon.Â The show eventually became plagued with celebrity and musician appearances, performances and the general non-video garbage that plagues the station at this time.

Hopefully, the cancellation of TRL and the (hopefully) declining performance in their (scripted) reality shows will lead MTV to put the music videos back on the air.Â No one cares about The Hills, Sweet Sixteen or The Real World (on drugs).

Let us pray for the day the videos come back to play.
