Some of the points they made clear were how the studio was in charge. Then private folks found ways to make music without the studio.
Also the key people who made major changes.. By being true to themselves.. That was a constant current in the series. Individual artists who bucked the status quo and started whole new trends.. One genius at a time.
How mTV created an entirely new art form, and the turned it's back on it.

I was shocked when Tom Petty said how much of his own money went toward making videos for MTV.

The difference is that Tom Petty knows how much he paid.
They all paid for videos with their own money but many are unaware that they did. Not all could be bothered to read the small print in their contracts.
It would have been less surprising if Tom Petty had further explained why he spent all that money. I'll bet it was connected to record sales. I'm pretty sure that beautiful blonde skater sold tons of "Free Fallin" records! :)
Great show! It's a rich subject that can populate many interesting documentaries.
Meh... they didn't turn their back on it so much as the viewers did.
I enjoyed MTV's early rock, pop, and new wave music videos but when they started to 'diversify' into rap and reality TV (in excess, IMHO), they lost me. For a while there it seemed that the music videos were 90% rap. Maybe I just tuned in at the wrong times. ;-) In any case I stopped watching.
And then VH-1 came along and satisfied my music video cravings for a while until I got totally bored with the whole idea.
I watch the occasional music video on YouTube at my leisure. It's not like I look forward to it though as I did with early MTV.
Except now they're on YouTube instead of MTV
MTV is still around? :)
Hope the playback is a marathon of all episodes.
I bet it will show up on Netflix or Amazon soon enough.
Or amazon?
Amazon has it. But they are selling it. 2 bucks an episode. If pbs is streaming it for free watch it there.
My favorite is the guy that refuses to use Protools to record and edit. He uses tape and edits with tape and a razor, "because it just sounds better when you edit on tape". You know he has a turntable at home too. :).
