MOD was
the show. They always had the best celebrities come on and this little walk out stage so the celebs could meet the people that couldn't get wristbands and waited outside. Sometimes they even did a live performance, and if it was someone particularly special (ie. Rihanna) they'd make a huge event out of it and do an entire special on them; which was aired as an extension of MOD, not the show itself. The countdown was great too, I voted every day; but near the end it just turned into an all-request show. Which was kinda lame but whatever.
I actually got to go to the studio once and got to see Down With Webster. It was a fabulous occasion.
OH! and there was a show called VJ Search which was such a big event at my school. The day after it'd air we'd all sit in class discussing who should win and whatnot. It was fun, but my fave didn't win so.
