It’s Been A Long Time Coming
Apparently, MTV’s TRL is still on, but not for long. MTV has cut off that bitch after 10 years. The executive producer of TRL said the show’s final episode will be a 2-hour special airing on a Saturday afternoon in November. He went on to say that TRL isn’t ending for good, but they felt it was the right time to give it a break.
That makes sense. I mean, TRL does show music videos and MTV obviously doesn’t care about those anymore, so it no longer fits in. I’m sure they will replace TRL with some badly-acted faux reality show.
TRL should have shut their doors in 2001 after Mimi’s epic ice cream meltdown (clip above). Seriously, they would have ended on a high note. HIGH being the key word. I never understood the point of TRL until I watched Mimi go crazy on it. That’s when I realized that the only TRL was born was to give us that moment. And for that, I thank TRL.
