MTV | The Dark Side of Fame | The Downfall Of Legendary Channel

On the BRIGHT SIDE OF FAME -- ever since that monumental moment,
MTV has become a staple of American culture and gone on to
completely revolutionize the music industry in the process. By the
late 80’s MTV’s popularity had grown by such leaps and bounds that
they began airing non-music video programming as well – which means
that long before the rise of peak reality TV in the 21st Century,
MTV got there first. On the DARK SIDE OF FAME is a different story
altogether – after creating a series of original hits likes “The
Real World”, “Beavis and Butthead”, “Jackass”, and later series
like “16 and Pregnant” and “Teen Mom”, a whole bunch of people
began to wonder if this content was truly appropriate for MTV’s
targeted audience of kids and teenagers. The channel developed a
reputation for pushing the boundaries of good taste and eventually
came under pretty heavy fire for a series of different
controversies over the years. So while you might think that MTV is
mostly just music, comedy, and reality television, it’s also had
more than its fair share of Satanism, censorship issues, cover-ups,
and yes, even untimely losing lives.
