I'm not gonna lie. With the introduction of the new system and the disappearance of Suchin Pak, Vanessa Minnilo, and Susie Castillo, I stopped watching the show. It isn't doing much for MTV right now. I <333 the show and it was great for American culture (especially for this forum which has departed from the show since I first started here three years ago). I'm glad it might be rejuvenated in the future though. ;p
IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME!! I've been telling my friends for a few months now that MTV was purposely trying to cancel TRL. If you think about it, they started that inaccurate countdown system and if it was a tech mishap they didn't give a damn (a good example is last Wednesday's show where they aired the previous day show for a good 20 minutes). Also, they changed it to that ridiculous 11am time slot last month and Damien wasn't into it anymore (you can tell by his expressions as times). And Lindsey was just whack as hell.
Overall, TRL was a good show on certain days. Just like when Direct Effect/Sucker Free on MTV were cancelled, I'm gonna miss this show as well.
TRL is gone because stupid Damien and the production staff allowed 'Ringtones, Top Charts, Downloads and MTV.Com spins to be counted along with votes.' Good riddance....
