Where have you gone Matt Pinfield

Either spurred by watching too many episodes of Mr. Show or maybe by the fact that I dusted off my copy of Superunknown, I miss the 90’s. And not just any part of the 90’s, but that time when society hit the peak of the post-grunge-gen-x-laziness-everyone-had-a-garofalo-crush-and-we-were-quoting-so-I-married-an-axe-murderer period. The reason for the longing of this bygone era is best embodied by the changes in one institution: MTV

Maybe with the exception of Doggy Fizzle Televizzle, MTV has sucked royally the past few years. Ever since the pop revolution of the late 90’s and the coming of the jackass-core culture, MTV only shows over produced pop or Date My Mom. MTV today would never air Liquid Television let alone the Maxx* as a full fledged show. The angst of the time and need to appeal to alternative/grunge culture cultivated risqué and progressive programming. Programming such as The State which you either you haven’t seen or think is the funniest thing of all time. I really don’t want my MTV today but I do remember sneaking upstairs to watch 120 Minutes when I was younger.

So until that time, I will be chillin’ with the weaze and singing porcupine racetrack.

I’m Ned and I’m outta hear.

* I really miss the Maxx (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Maxx) . That show was actually the real catalyst of this entry.
