I’m talking to you — my friends and fellow Fourth-Level Dwarves with hit points to spare — the basement-dwelling, video-obsessed music nerds who watched the once-great video channel from day one (August 1, 1981) and who thoroughly enjoyed seeing the eclectic mix of artists and songs like “No Time to Lose” by the Tarney-Spencer Band and “So Long” by Fischer Z played at least six times day, every day. MTV sure had a lot of time to fill, here are some standouts.

Chris Elliott stars as Marshal Chris Monsanto in EAGLEHEART, a new show that promises action, cars, suspense, conversations, intrigue, buildings and copious amounts of needless bloodshed in every episode. Aided by his sidekicks Brett and Susie, and under the watchful authority of Chief, Monsanto’s goal is always the same: to punch people so hard that they explode.

Cool T-shirt featuring muppets Statler and Waldorf, who share the stage left balcony box in the Muppet Theater, and the two delight in heckling every aspect of The Muppet Show. Statler and Waldorf are especially unforgiving to Fozzie Bear.

Nick Swardson’s Pretend Time is an irreverent sketch show filtered through the twisted point-of-view of stand-up comedian Nick Swardson. Swardson played Terry on RENO 911! and has been featured in two Comedy Central Presents stand-up specials, as well as his own one-hour special Seriously, Who Farted?

A show built around awkward prevarication and David Cross? I’m in! “This show follows the awkward misadventures of an American office temp and convenient liar named Todd Margaret (David Cross).  Margaret bluffs his way into a senior sales position heading up the London office for the new energy drink Thunder …

I must give this preview a big ol’ Fonzie double thumbs up. The show looks pretty damn funny and it better be considering Will Arnett (basically playing Gob again) and Peter Serafinowicz are the main joke slingers. Keri Russell is well cast as the do-gooder love interest. I’m glad to see her back on the telly. She’s always enjoyable, well except for that one time when she chose Ben over Noel… that really hurt me.

Det. Benson: “Captain, we’ve got a situation. A lady in the Bronx just patty-caked an S.O.S. to Pitter-Patter from her handheld! She is being attacked by a sex criminal. She asked her Pitter-Patter followers to contact SVU for her, and we’ve been getting dozens of frantic patty-cakes at @sexyvictims.”

Hopefully you will get all tingly inside when you hear some of these marvelous and majestic “TV Special” themes from your past.  Upon hearing just a few notes, you might be taken back to a comfy quiet place in your youth and it could get a bit Pavlovian: salivation starts, you walk to the fridge, [...]
