I lived in a small town. One AM radio station and one record store "The Electronic Butterfly". People either listened to country or Van Halen. MTV brought a whole new world to us (even if it was mostly crap).

I was 3.

Did your parents watch, in between changing diapers?

Hahahaha, my parents watching MTV. Now that's comedy.

I don't thing we had cable yet at that point. And when we did have it, in the mid to late 80s, the only interface my parents had with MTV was my mom's uncanny ability to know from across the house that my older sister was watching a Billy Idol video (yes, my parents forbade my sister from watching Bily Idol videos...my parents were a little weird sometimes).

I bet your sister spend hours in front of the mirror trying to perfect her "Billy Idol" face just to piss off your parents. ;)

What ever happened to Martha Quinn?

One bad perm put her off big hair for good.

I miss the Just Ask Julie Show.

'Cause I'm a blonde. Yeah yeah yeah!'

If it wasn't for MTV, I never would have known the song "Our House" by Madness - which I went to a local record shop to find on vinyl, and they asked me if I'd heard KROQ... I didn't watch much MTV after about 1985, but the first few years they had some fun stuff - ESPECIALLY AL-TV!
