MTV is rebooting (TRL) Total Request Live after 9 Years | Dynasty Reboot...



On August 1st, 1981, MTV was created. And just this week, it turned 35 years old.
But to be real honest, MTV is a shell of its former glory. I mean, just look at its current programming and you can see for yourself, with shows like catfish and teen mom.
Now here we are in 2017, and what's on the horizon for MTV?
Well, it looks like they are rebooting “Total Request Live” in Octoberand building a new studio in Times Square.
MTV is hoping that by returning to its music-video roots and bringing back TRL, it will help lift the network’s sagging ratings.
The shows original host Carson Daly will not be returning with the show, but we will see 5 new rotating hosts, who are:
Amy Pham, D.C. Young Fly, Erik Zachary, Tamara Dhia and Lawrence Jackson.
This is a new type of MTV for a new generation of twitter and Instagram followers, but at least MTV is giving it the ol' college try. It will premiere October 2nd, on MTV.
And in Movie News!
For those that remember DEATH WISH from 1974, which also spawned 4 sequels.
Its being remade with Bruce Willis as a medical surgeon turned vengeance killer.
This could be Willis's last chance to rebound from a few unmemorable movies from the past few years.
Its suppose to be in theaters November 22, 2017.
And just in with an update - looks like theres some drama surrounding the new movie trailer, with some saying it has racist and vigilantism undertones. Are we talking about Death Wish, or the Netflix Punisher show - im a little confused?
Then On to Tech News!
Microsoft PAINT, which was introduced in 1985, has passed away!
nah, just kidding.
But, it does look like Microsoft is no longer going to be updating the paint program that’s been around since the mid 80s.
Microsoft did say that they will not be including it after Windows 10 and are moving to a better paint program which allows for 3D painting.
So, really, This just sounds like out with the old and in with the new.
Then next up, in our RETRO FLASH segment, were gonna hit the topics we didn’t get to fully cover in the news today!
Do you miss those old shows about greed is good and excess is best along with tons of catfights?
Well, the 80s soap drama DYNASTY is being reboot and will be back in October 2017 on the CW.
We've already seen a network reboot of DALLAS, so I guess all we need now is Falcons Crest to return too and we have the trifecta!
And Last, I came across an article about 19 weird things we all did as kids. Most of the list I actually do remember doing and it brings back some fond memories.
Check below for that link.
