I feel as if this cancellation could've been heavily avoided if TRL just stuck to its normal format. Heck, even the guests were becoming nothing but Z-listers.

It seems to the the formula for shows that get too big for their own good. Idol is a good example. It adds stuff no one care about (i.e. -- this year's Coke sponsored "Talk to the Idols" segment, hour long result shows stuffed with filler). Focus is totally lost and what was alluring at first gets snowed in by the fluff.

I remember someone creating an ideal schedule a page back in addition to my own, but I was thinking it'd be kind of neat if TRL lived on via MTV.com with a daily live broadcast. I'm guessing it would cost a lot less (I have no data to back that up, just an assumption). In fact, most MTV music video shows should move to online broadcasts. With social networking being the giant that it is now, it only makes sense --- watch anytime, share the link with friends, dig back in archives as desired. The audience is seemingly limitless if promotion is done right.

Here's my list. TRL, SF, and Deuce could issue a new show M-F and include user content (i.e. -- U R Here reports) and other web 2.0-esk items that is making the web what it is now.

TRL on MTV.com
Sucker Free on MTV.com
The Hot 20 on MTV.com - perhaps a weekly updated show spinning the top streams
The Deuce on MTV.com - same as You Rock the Deuce, just a niftier title

Perhaps the online shows can also have a re-airing each morning on MTV to make up for a lack of actual video blocks and to help promote the new online format also.

I.E.:

6AM - Music Videos
8AM - TRL on MTV.com
9AM - TBD
11AM - Sucker Free on MTV.com
11:30AM - The Deuce on MTV.com

Food for thoughts...

I was planning on actually watching the weeks leading up to the two-hour finale special in November.

My top 10 of all-time

1. KoRn - Freak On A Leash
2. Dream - He Loves U Not
3. Britney Spears - Stronger
4. The Offspring - Pretty Fly For A White Guy
5. Limp Bizkit - My Way
6. Aly & A.J. - Rush
7. Eminem - The Way I Am
8. Metallica - I Disappear
9. Hilary Duff - So Yesterday
10. Ashley Tisdale - He Said She Said

I can make a case for like at least 60 songs.

I can't believe they haven't just tried (again) to re-brand it without having a gap in programming. If anyone remembers their never-launched YoURL program, it wasn't well-received.

I don't think it would be a big deal for MTV to at least have TRL once a week LIVE with a 90 minute Friday edition until it ends in November. That way it can still remain on-air to a limited capacity and still have an outlet for guests and music.

Good idea.

Speaking of the mtv site, trl.mtv.com has a new item. They want us to post messages of 4 forums regarding our thoughts on past guests, moments, VJs, and performances. I'm the only one that has posted thus far. haha.

I'm certain my post will make the air then. I remember my post making it on DFX when Aaliyah died. Almost no one posted anything on their forum then.
