I hate asking for help, so this is hard for me to do. My family is facing some hardships and we are in desperate need of help. I know it's hard all over but any help would be appreciated.

So, after over 44 years, MTV wants to shut it down. At least as far as music goes in Europe. So, here are my MTV memories, and what I think of them switching their music channels off in general.
UPDATE: I just found out they are NOT shutting down in the U.S.

Ever since we lost John Belushi when I was a kid (his was the first celebrity death I remember), we've lost some big-time legends throughout the years. This year was no different. From Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Ozzy Osbourne to D'Angelo and Ace Frehley. Here are my thoughts.

Junior Boomers, Gen Xers, Xennials, & Millennials looked forward to the Peanuts Holiday special for over fifty years. Then freakin' Apple+ bought the rights, and we have to either stream it if we want to watch those cartoons again or buy them on DVD (like I did).
