Reality Shows killed the Music Video star

Basically what happened to MTV over the first 25 years of the 21st century, from their slow switch to Reality shows from Music oriented programming ending at the shutdown of the remaining linear music only MTV channels like MTV hits, music, live, 80s, 90s and 00s in 2026. The saying is a spin on the first thing MTV aired, the music video for Video Killed the Radio Star by the Buggles

- Hey, did you know that MTV shut down their music only channels?

- Welp, I guess the saying „Reality Shows killed the Music Video star” is true.

Yeah, I'll watch reality tv with you

The phrase a person who has no interest in reality tv tells the person who does have interest in reality tv that they have feelings for them. It's a genuinely sweet gesture with no expectation for love making. It's just so that the person will be near the other.

Ashley: "Hey, I know you don't like cooking shows, but there's a finale on tonight. Would you like to watch it with me?"
