Wait -- nearly April and one of trash TV's greatest old rituals, MTV's Spring Break coverage, is only featured in about three half-hour shows in rotation right now. How did this underrated big event disappear from the MTV landscape? Did you see TRL host Damien Fahey guest host Live with Regis and Kelly while Reege was recovering from his surgery? He did a poor man's Spring Break on Regis and Kelly?! Wait -- you have to watch Regis and Kelly for Spring Break clips?

C'mon MTV, why don't you let your old footage on Joost? (I won't even mention YouTube with that messy legal battle happening.) There are literally 20 years of memorable performances (talk about sexy/back, albeit the 80s and 90s version), and dumb-ass-lovable-before-they-were-famous comics. I remember all of the shows that would air all day from Friday afternoon through Sunday night. Whether it be from Daytona Beach, Miami Beach, Panama City Beach, Lake Havasu, or Cancun, we didn't care. As long as there were fun, junky, low-budget shows like Remote Control, Beauty and The Beach, Fame or Shame, and Get Next to Jenny McCarthy.

Is MTV even on cable anymore? Has anything become less relevant so quickly?

It's been years, but I still remember lying to my parents about watching MTV. Spring break was especially bad, but I still loved it!

Hey! How can you leave The PJs off the list. Before TRIO dropped off of DirecTV, I enjoyed the PJs marathons. I had two VHS tapes of the episodes, but can only find one. BRING BACK Eddie Murphy and Thurgood, Muriel, Mrs. Avery, Smokey, Juicy, Calvin, Haiti Lady, Bebe and the rest of the crew from the Hilton Jacobs Projects! Some people found this show offensive, I thought, and still think it was EXCELLENT!!!
