This is the best way I can think of to start a long drawn out thread:
Most of you would agree with the atatement that your favorite show on MTV is Daria. However, most of us do watch something else on MTV. My question is what is your second favorite show currently shown on MTV on a regular or semiregular basis?
"The Maxx"! Great cartoon, adapted from the Image comic book. I have all of the first season on tape, does anybody know if there was a second season?

I used to love "The State" but it suffered 'MTV-schedulitis'(constant switching of time slot- it was worse than it is now since this was before the 10spot) Now I would have to say after Daria I watch Sifl & Olly the most(if it doesn't ring a bell, it's on Mon.-Fri. after Loveline and it's some sort of demented puppet show).
I love Sifl and Olly! True, it's demented, and is probably a complete waste of my time, but it cracks me up.

As a lover of really twisted stuff, I must agree -- they are truly "crescent fresh." Super cres at best. <g> But it's on a little late to catch it regularly. (Thank you, mr. vcr!)

Add me to the list. I think Sifl + Olly is hysterical. My girlfriend thought I was nuts the first time I watched it, but then the next time she watched too, and laughed just as much.

No second season, unfortunately.

Sadly no. Not sure of the reason. Writer Sam Kieth is now making a movie of the Megan story from Maxx 31 and 34,starring Amy Danles,who did Sara's voice in the Maxx cartoon

Well I used to have other favorites, but it seems MTV has this annoying little habit of Cancelling most of the good shows...cases in point? The State (ok ok so that wasnt technically cancelled, but they got rid of it) Austin Stories Apartment 2f

I have "The Maxx" video too, and love it. Hrm, I have fond memories of "Liquid Television" but it usually wasn't so high-quality although it was occasionally amusing. I have a live "Sugercubes" performance I taped once that I adore. I keep my eyes open for a rerun of the "MTV Unplugged" show with Bjork and the World Saxaphone Quartet.
But no, there really isn't anything else that I watch regularly.

Whatever happend to Unplugged? It just kind of dissappeared. It would be perfect for the 10spot on Fridays.
I like Celebrity Deathmatch. Not exactly highbrow or anything, but it can be funny.
Anyone remember Buzzkill? That was great too.

I miss Buzzkill and Dead at 21. It really made me mad because they never ended that series, it just didn't come back the next season. I also loved the State.

I actually don't have any other favorites. I try to watch on those rare occasions when they might show music videos.
Videos, on MTV??? ;-)
Ah well, since Liquid Television is long since dead, I guess I'd have to pick Say What - I never would have decifered the Barenaked Ladies song without it.

Mmm...that's a toughie. The early Real Worlds were good. I had a number of "shows you love to hate" which my roommate and I watched just to make fun of (more recent Real Worlds included) but I've lost interest in them. Damn...I can't think of anything else.

Ok, since everyone is remembering their favorite cancelled MTV shows, here are a couple I used to watch a lot --- "IRS' the Cutting Edge," and "The Young Ones" (Oh, look, the attic needs 'oovering.) Ok, so "The Young Ones" was trashy-- it still cracked me up at times. "The Cutting Edge" was cool because they actually covered new (then) and interesting stuff, even though it was a blatant 30-minute plug for IRS records.
My second favorite now? Sifl & OIly. It's twisted, man, really twisted.

"The Young Ones" is one of the only shows produced by my home country that I enjoy. I'm even better at reffing "The Young Ones" than I am with "Daria"... "Ooh, have we got a video?"... "Brilliant, some of these bricks explode!"... "Ah, Coca-Cola, symbol of free West!"... I could go on for hours.
