I\u2019ve got another piece up at hilobrow.com<\/a>, which I love writing for. The editor Josh Glenn has assembled 25 entries in service of \u201canalyzing and celebrating favorite TV shows from the Eighties (1984\u20131993).\u201d It\u2019s a great line-up, including Heather Quinlan on Mystery Science Theatrer 3000<\/em>, Peggy Nelson on Seinfeld<\/em>, Tom Nealon on Miami Vice<\/em>, and Nikhil Singh on Chocky<\/em>. And Annie Nocenti landed a personal favorite of mine The Singing Detective<\/em>. Here are the first two paragraphs of my piece, which is about the ancient MTV (mostly) animated anthology series Liquid Television<\/em>. This is easily the most Gen X thing that I (born: August 1966) have written in a long time.<\/p>\n

\n

There\u2019s an old saw about how MTV doesn\u2019t play any music anymore \u2014 old as in MTV dropped \u201cmusic television\u201d from its logo in 2010, so quit griping. More to the point, music doesn\u2019t need MTV, and hasn\u2019t for almost as long, because music videos are ubiquitous (hello, YouTube and social media). We no longer must weather Glenn Frey\u2019s \u201cSexy Girl\u201d and Billy Joel\u2019s \u201cUptown Girl\u201d while waiting for a network executive, bearing an Excel spreadsheet with the word \u201cdemographics\u201d on the Y axis, to deign to share some of the good stuff.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Plus, even back in the day, much of the good stuff wasn\u2019t even music. Take\u00a0Liquid Television<\/em>, the network\u2019s classic animation anthology, which ran for four delectable seasons during the early 1990s. The sheer anarchy and variety of\u00a0Liquid Television<\/em>\u00a0was its own special zone of mainstream weird.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
