Sadly, the day has come where the long lived TRL, Total Request Live, will see its final episode in a few weeks. This show is made possible by the music fans in today’s pop culture. The fans call, test, or email in their votes for their favorite bands hot new music video to be played, and only the top 10 make it. This show goes way beyond the music videos however. Bands such as Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, and the Jonas brothers all got a great start and became popular from this show. This show made many people’s careers. What is sad is the fact that this show was one of the last remaining shows on MTV that was solely about the artists and their music. MTV should now change their name to RTV(Reality Television). I grew up watching TRL after school when I was younger even though I do not watch it anymore, it is still a sentimental show to say goodbye to.
