Club MTV, anyone?
The ditzy blonde at 1:51 ended up marrying Kelsey Grammer. She was a regular dancer on the show, as was Sandra Taylor ("Sandi Korn" at the time - did Penthouse before Playboy), as was a girl I went to HS with. Some wild BTS stories from that show, lemme tell ya.

oof. trl. i used to have an office on the northwest corner of the 1500 broadway building and looked down on trl across the street. you could hear the kids on the sidewalk screaming at 3 everyday. 33 floors up, through glass, and over whatever din was going on in the office. my boss swore he could hear them through the speakerphone mic.
for some reason my first thought with mtv beyond martha and china is the joe lynn turner era of rainbow. street of dreams. and howard jones.

I don't know if this has been posted yet, but WTH: Why MTV doesn't play music videos anymore
Be sure to thank those kids you're having these conversations with. Internet killed the video star.

I vaguely know what neighborhood its in because I watch VH-1 Classic, which is basically MTV from 1982-1988. When the new season of "Beavis & Butthead" came on recently, I set the DVR on my phone, but first I had to look up where the channel was on DirecTV.

When I think of MTV...
This extended Thriller running at the top of every hour when it first came out.

videos were getting squeezed out of mtv long before napster. it was reality tv and talking about pop culture more than anything. the lack of videos being made now can be blamed on internet, but to say it's way they're not on mtv is revisionist and mostly inaccurate.

How about a debate. Which artist consistently made the best music videos back in the day? Jacko hands down? Madonna?

The Police put out interesting videos, and they weren't all the same. "Don't Stand So Close To Me" is just them goofing off in front of the camera; "Every Breath You Take" is stark and brooding...and there are three or four others that stand out.

Pretty good video... spawned a new era of music. Not revolutionary but was a bridge between early 90's grunge and gangster rap to what was called "music" in the late 90's and 2000's auto tune stuff.

Exactly. I was thinking Nina would toss a salad while a handjob after multiple dates was the best you could hope for with Martha.

Oh, and Huey Lewis and the News always had fun videos, even if they weren't as intricate and ground-breaking as those by MJ or Peter Gabriel.

You might be the only one. Never heard that song and I watched lots of MTV after school back in the day. That song must have been on after 10 or something.

Also need to give a shout out to The State- barely any video clips out there, especially with the original music intact.

A few other shows that I remember
MTV Sports with Dan Cortes
Singled Out w Jenny McCarthy
There was also a Lip Sync contest show I vaguely remember.
ETA: Found it - called Lip Service...Spinderella was the DJ who played random songs as people tried to lip sync them

Was a big part of their playlist for a while.
My favorite obscure video. This is like the third opportunity I've had to post it here recently.

Remember "Basement Tapes"?
Dog Police

Trak "Dancin". Probably the most 80s video you've never seen

Question. Some groups including The Carpenters used to put their music to video long before MTV existed. Where the hell would these be seen?
BTW, listen to that song if you're not with a room full of buddies watching hoops. [grunt] Her voice was ridiculous.

You guys HAD to have planned out the Dog Police mention simultaneously.
