Happy 35th Anniversary, MTV

This is it. Today is the day. On August 1, 1981, MTV has launched into television 35 years ago. Which means, MTV turns 35 today and MTV Classic has launched into television. The first music video that aired on MTV is Video Killed The Radio Star. This is where music videos from 1979-today gets to be played on MTV. Even though reality shows and movies screwed up MTV nowadays. Stupid MTV playing reality shows and movies.

Now then, it appears that VH1 Classic announced last week through social media that today, which is August 1st, the 35th anniversary of MTV, they'd be relaunching as MTV Classic. I thought it was just going to be a simple rename with maybe a smaller focus on rock music and more of a general focus on classic music again. But no, this is much more than that.

Here's what seems to be included on the MTV Classic lineup (according to Zap2It's schedule, they only have the weekdays and not the weekends so far), I'll start with the animation first that's really what I care about the most.

Daria

Beavus And Butthead

Aeon Flux

Wonder Showzen

Clone High

The Maxx (under the MTV Oddities label)

And here’s the music programs:

MTV’s First Hour Of Programming

And other etcetra MTV programming of the past:

The animation and reality programs mostly air past 10pm, the majority of the network is music programming of course.

What do you guys think about this network? I think I'm in love with that lineup, especially Wonder Showzen and Clone High. As for the music programs, it’ll be nice to get my fill of hip hop and rock again.

Now then, what I also want on MTV Classic is Live From Daryl’s House and Later With Jools Holland from MTV Live and, of course, current music videos like Ariana Grande. Here’s what I’m looking you, Taylor Swift.

So, what do you think? Are you excited for MTV’s 35th anniversary? Are you happy for music in which MTV Classic wanted? Sound off below!
