Did you people see the same film I saw?

Beautiful, moving film.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I was home today and started channel surfing and Total Request Live was on. Man, this show brings back memories. I was a big fan of this show as an an teen in 98' (I cringe lol) and I have not seen this show since 2001. That's when an already quirky show just became boring to me after so many changes. A lot of people may not remember but Total Request Live started out not being live in 98'. It was called Total Request with Carson Daly and it first played at night. There was no live audience just Carson Daly sitting down by a TV. The show was 30 minutes long and counted down the top videos of the day. I remember Hanson being #1 all the time with their video "Weird".Then some thing happened in the later part of 98'. The show moved to afternoons. It went from 30 to 90 minutes long. It got an live audience inside and out. The birth of TRL was born. As a teen this show was fun to come home too. Even though the countdown was shallow and more of an popularity contest and not many good music videos made it but they had a lot of guests and music and it was just fun and cool at the time to us teens. This show believe it or not made pop acts like Nsync and BSB even more popular than they already were. They owned the countdown seriously. If BSB was not #1 than Nsync was and vice versa. But TRL also made grunge metal bands like Korn, Limp Bizket popular too. People who were into pop were introduced to rock and vice versa from the countdown. Carson Daly became an overnight sensation and was so popular as an DJ they even started an be an MTV DJ contest. I remember when Jesse Camp won the contest. Oh, man watching him was hilarious...he was great.Then 2001 rolls in and the show just changed. They added a whole lot of DJ's that I could give a crap about. Carson was hardly featured then he finally left. The videos were cut short or never really showed. I guess music just changed in general. I always thought BSB and Britney Spears were horrible acts to be always topping the countdown but I watch today and you have Ashlee Simpson, Hilary Duff, Ryan Cabrera all in the countdown and wow, Nsync, Britney and BSB don't look so bad. I guess my most reason for stop watching TRL is that I am a teen no more. I just grew up. Whatever it was I will always remember this show at once being really fun to watch as a teen.

Why do so many people hate this show? Everybody seems to think that it is stupid, pointless, and annoying. If you hate it so much, don't watch it! The videos that are played are voted for by fans, so obviously many people like the sorts of music that make the top 10 countdown. Carson Daly never appears on the show at all anymore, either, so please stop complaining that he is the worst part of it! I like this show (but I won't go so far as to say that I love it). I just wish that the other people who watch this show had some better taste in music. Some of the "music" they choose for the countdown is CRAP! I can't stand Ja Rule, B2K, Justin Timberlake, or Shakira. Lets see some more of Good Charlotte, Avril Lavigne, Eminem, and Blink-182!

If there is a show that can kill a network like MTV, it's this one. TRL is not only bad, it's overrated, and it plays the same 10 videos every single day!! Plus, it's always the Backstreet Boys, or N*SYNC every single day in the countdown, which has been old for a long time. And all of those screaming people! God that's just aggravating after at least 2 seconds! Don't even get me started on Carson Daly. He's such a loser, and he sucks just like this show! So please, don't waste your time with this garbage.

This show is not bad. You have some decent videos, some celebrity guests in each airing, and you get to win prizes. However, I'm positively sure that the producer of the show actually places "The Backstreet Boys" and "N'sync" in the top two positions. Then the producer switches the positions every other day or so, to let the viewers(mostly teenage girls) be attracted to the show by seeing who will have the number one spot. I bet even Carson Daly suspects this.
