TRL Canceled — For Real This Time!

TRL Canceled — For Real This Time!

Total Request Live, better known as TRL, has been officially canceled after ten years. (This was a rumor back in Feburary, but it’s a done deal now.)

TRL executive producer Dave Sirulnick said that show, which is taped in Times Square, will take its final bow in a two-hour special on a Saturday afternoon in November. He added that show isn’t “ending for good” but needs a “break.”

Originally hosted by Carson Daly, the music video countdown show premiered music videos and helped to launch the careers of Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, ‘NSync and other teen pop acts.

Where will artists premiere their music videos now? Online? FNMTV?

R.I.P. T.R.L. (1998 - 2008)

This makes me sad because this show was a big part of my teenage years. I rememeber rushing home to watch it right after school and loving it. When I went to NYC in 1999 I got to stand outside the studio… 98 degrees was on that day and their video for “I Do (Cherish You) was their single at the time… lots of teenage girls dressed as brides lol. Hard for me to believe that was almost 10 years ago… But the previous posters are right, TRL hasn’t been the same since Carson Daly left and the network as a whole has pretty much abandoned music videos. Sad to see what MTV has become in the last 10 years alone. The VMAs and TRL were actually important, worth watching and valuable. And don’t even get me started on the reality tv. 10 years ago the shows were The Real World (when it was a legit social experiment and not about how many roomies could hook up with each other) and Road Rules. Both much better than the crap they have on now. They need to go back to their past if the network wants to survive. It’s a big joke now and has been for several years. Sad!

bout time…it went downhill after Carson left. of course all of mtv is going way downhill now…

thank god the show was wack as hell anyway

MTV KILLED ITSELF

with all the garbage on mtv now-a-days why isn’t mtv put into the same category as hbo and cinemax? I grew up on mtv/vh1 and years later when I flip through and see the garbage this channel has on it’s enough to make you sick. They must be dropping TRL to provide more shows about lesbians and bisexuals.

hahahahahhahahhahahhahaha ahahahahhahahahaahhah

WHAT HAPPENED WAS THAT NEW UPCOMERS DONT KNOW HOW TO MAKE VIDEOS , YOU SHOULD HAVE A STORY BEHIND YOUR SONGS ! YOU JUST JUMPING AROUND IN FRONT OF A CAMERA JUST DOESNT CUT IT , YOU NEED TO BE MORE CREATIVE WITH YOUR VIDEOS SO IT CAN STAND THE TEST OF TIME!

AND NOT just newcomners , there has been a few videos that have come out that are just lame by some top artists which will remain nameless….

It’s about ******* time!! MTV has sucked for the last 10 years. It got to a point where there were more shows than actual videos. MTV needs to go off the air and put itself out of it’s misery.

OMG… Where will everyone watch 15 seconds of videos now?

Hhahahahah FINALLY. Partial music videos and screaming braindead teenagers, goodbye!

No! They can’t cancel TRL :(

I hope the entire MTV will burn down to the ground

I didn’t realize it was still on. It’s no loss. Go watch a real television show.

Finally! Sucky azz show that it was.

WHAT?! That’s just tragic.

Now TRL has gone, the channel MTV will be even worse.

damn, now where am i supposed to watch the first 10 seconds of a video made by a band that no one will remember in 2 years?

mtv died years ago….just cancel the whole network.

who cares!!! TRL went down hill when all the good vj’s left, since then it has flat out sucked, let’s face it guys it’s time for something new! I’d rather watch The Hills anyday and I’m no hills fan!
