Synopsis

Total Request Live was a television series on MTV that featured popular music videos. TRL was MTV's prime outlet for music videos as the network continued to concentrate on reality-based programming. In addition to music videos, TRL featured daily guests. The show was a popular promotion tool used by musicians, actors, and other celebrities to promote their newest works to the show's target teen demographic. TRL played the top ten most requested videos of the day, as requested by viewers who voted online for their favorite video. The countdown started with the tenth most requested video and ended with the most requested. As of October 22, 2007, TRL's countdown was based on votes, charts, ringtones, download, radio airplay, and streams, meaning that the most user requested video might not have been the number 1 video. The show generally aired Monday through Thursday for one hour, though the scheduling and length of the show fluctuated over the years. Despite the word "Live" in the title of the show, many episodes were actually pre-recorded. It was announced on September 15, 2008 that TRL would be shut down and replaced with FNMTV. The special three-hour finale aired on November 16, 2008, at 8 p.m.

Bereamic Awesome Movie
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
gluba2000 I'll admit I used to like this show but back when it was good!They used to have good artists on the countdown mixed in with the crappy "artists" nowadays it's a bunch of talentless whore and label product cash cows who top the TRL countdown!If you've turned it onto TRL recently you can see that the TRL demographic has turned from it's bubble gum pop thing to it's "punk/sk8er" phase with the oh so talented (yeah right!) Simple Plan and Ashlee Simpson topping the TRL charts!Then they slowly started showing less and less of the music video.Nowadays they only play about 5 seconds of the video to squeeze in the "next big thing" or how they're kissing whoever's ass is their that day.Carson has left the show and he made it more bearable to watch.Is it me or am I the only one who find the black hosts of this show to be so stereotyped with the "hey y'all!"'s and the "fo' sho!"'s always said!This show used to be good but it has slowly made it to unbearable.You can tell when the show's viewers have gone through phases...right now it's at it's "sk8er/punk" phase...it also has a ghetto phase from time to time where the pathetic suburban kids dress just like their street homies G Unit!I just felt like putting in my 2 cents on this terrible show!
plok253 Hmmm, well the show's stayed on the air for a couple years, so somebody's obviously watching it. My question is....who? If you compare the TRL's Top 10 with the actual Top 10 hits, you'll notice that TRL is pretty off on portraying the opinions of the fans. In order to stay "hip", TRL is always careful to choose the latest videos, rather than showing some videos that are actually good. Moreover, as anyone intelligent has noticed by now, there's nothing on this show besides tasteless pop music and a couple alternative songs. It's no request show, it's a routine devoted directly to teeny boppers. Even Carson grows weary of it (ever noticed how he's never enthusiastic as he announces who's on the show?)Next time, try voting for a song by a group who can really play like Guns n' Roses, Alice Cooper, or Rush. Notice how it won't make a difference.
wishkah7 I've watched this program for about maybe 3 months just to see what they would play. But I have to admit, _some_ of my favorite groups made it like Green Day, The Offspring, and Blink 182. KoRn is okay. But IMHO, those were the only good groups whose vidoes made it on TRL.Everyday it's the same thing on this show. Either the Backstreet Boys or N'Sync come in first. Also, they play a lot of stuff that only attracts the teeny-bopper genre, such as Britney Spears, Christina Aguliera, Ricky Martin, TLC, some rap, and Mandy Moore! After I realized it was just the same junk, I've stopped watching and gave up on MTV all together.This show is only for teeny-bopping trendies. And it also seems like Carson Daily literally falls for the boy bands. Why can't they have a special TRL or even a show just like it that only have requests for videos from Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day, The Offspring, Bush, Live, Soundgarden, and some of the old rock groups that have made videos like The Rolling Stones!Also, another nightmare was that even Hole and No Doubt made guest appearences on TRL and were even in the countdown! This show is only for teeny-boppers who like this type of music. They ought to change the name of this show to, "Total Payola Live"!
Mike-720 I love TRL!! It's where viewers vote for their favorite music videos such as Eminem's "My name is...", or "I want it that way" by the Backstreet Boys!Want to vote? Go to mtv.com or AOL keyboard Mtv, then click shows, click Total Request live. Then click Play my song!Watch the show on Mtv then find your vote!!!!!!!
