Only Aeon Flux and Beavis and Butthead worth the money...
Jackass, Wild Boyz and Viva La Bam... mediocre shows for ignorant and caveman-like people.

Dude! Harsh! Jackass is great when you're in the mood for it.

They're all good TV
The only gripe is that none of them have a damn thing to do with, you know, music

Hey I like Wild Boys! National Geographic + Jackass = brilliant!
How can you not laugh at Steve O and Party Boy getting an Orangutan drunk as hell and then trashing their hotel room. Comedy Gold!

Throw the Maxx onto a umd and we will talk.

Blasphemy, no Daria.

weren't those..."classics" on 4:3 aspect ratio?
I hope they utilize the whole screen if they can.
Akamaru @ Jan 24th 2008 5:40PM
The PSP lets you choose the aspect ratio for any video you watch either on UMD or Memory Stick Duo. Family guy UMD is 4:3 but looks great in widescreen. Peter looks even fatter :-)

Gotta say... I'm a sucker for the Wild Boyz...

It never gets old seeing Steve-O getting pinched/bitten/stung/kicked/shot? in the butt/nuts/face.
Plus I like monkeys!

The only classic MTV programming is actual music videos
Markusdragon @ Jan 24th 2008 7:50PM
What about Sifl and Olly?
StarFoxA @ Jan 24th 2008 5:51PM
Who pays for TV shows anymore?
evilJaze @ Jan 25th 2008 11:43AM
You mean people EVER paid for them??

Liquid Television!
No wait... Liquid Television on DVD!
Screw this UMD noise.
NATO_Duke @ Jan 24th 2008 6:03PM
I would be shocked if that many people purchased any of these, or any other thing for that sake, on UMD.
IMHO, UMD is the Betamax of our generation. (Yes, more so than HD-DVD may become)
Look at all those pretty acronyms.

The term "classic" is used very loosely here..
Video Killed the Radio Star @ Jan 24th 2008 6:42PM
I wish MTV would die already.
I can't believe people are still watching that shit.
Garbage!!!
DangerMouse @ Jan 24th 2008 6:43PM
I got a 5 dollar UMD to try it out once. that'll be my last UMD purchase ever.
mcatrage @ Jan 24th 2008 6:45PM
Obviously an oxymoron.
Squirrel3D @ Jan 24th 2008 7:20PM
Two things that's just screaming to die...UMD and MTV.

"Dude! Harsh! Jackass is great when you're in the mood for it."
Trust me, if you've been on the net as long as I have, the *last* thing you want to encounter at the end of the day is *moar* jackassery.

As a game show nut, I am required to express frustration at the lack of love for Remote Control.
