What happened to that?

ran one season. was good. not like it used to be tho

MTV, after getting another season, decided their demographic was 12-14 year old girls and just dropped it in spite of it being successful. No joke.

it was set in present time but they hadn't aged, everything else had moved on though and was up to date, it was kind of weird and felt very unfitting.
I wanted it to be set in the same time as the original episodes from the 90s, that's the era that show represented, so having it set in present time was just weird and didn't fit at all, it was still funny and well made enough to watch but it was heavily held back by that decision.

Also, instead of music videos they mostly watched and commented over random MTV shows about pregnant teens and reality shows and such, that was just awful.

It also had some plain cheapness to it, like the animations used for the commentary while they watched TV were literally the original animations from the old episodes, they didn't redraw them or enhance them or anything, just a quick copy and paste job.

I loved that it was in 4:3 fullscreen though, it didn't have any stupid black letterboxed borders like all other garbage does these days.

The final nail in the coffin I'd say was the fact it still ran on MTV; a channel that's barely even a shell of it's former self.
Nobody has that channel anymore unless they have the most expensive channel packages, so the new season reached out to a very minimal audience.
