On January 29th at 9:30 PM, be sure your TV's on VH1. The network is bringing back their Emmy award winning series Rock Docs to do a feature length documentary on the show of our childhood with The TRL Decade. How many times did you race home from school because Carson was going to show us a few clips of Stronger? Or the Backstreet Boys were stopping by the premiere their new video for I Want It That Way. Remember when the cast of American Pie was on and Carson had to interview Tara Reid? We felt for him. Or Mariah Carey decided that she only wanted to wear a TRL t-shirt? We knew from Carson uneasy manner that something wasn't right. Or when they hosted a special episode after September 11th when we could call in, along with the artists, to share what we were feeling? TRL was a huge part of our lives, and was a massive influence on the music industry. The record companies would call the show to find out when an artist's video was going to be retired (65 days, just like an old person) so that they knew when to release the next song. It was an epic, simple show. I think that was the best part about it. It was just your friend Carson, and his cool musician friends. We all hung out after school and checked out what was going on with the day.
I'm beyond excited to check this out, and so happy to hear that Rock Docs is back. Let's keep this 90s nostalgia rolling, I can get down with more of this.
