Comments on: Let it snow http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/853 Feel Smart Again Wed, 17 Mar 2010 03:39:16 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: David http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/853/comment-page-1#comment-563 David Fri, 04 Aug 2006 14:16:42 +0000 http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/853#comment-563 Thanks Michael! Good point. According to Wiki: "At the time of launch [1981], only a few thousand people on one cable system in northern New Jersey could see [MTV]." I remember hearing about this new, super-cool station. And begging my parents to subscribe to cable just for MTV... but alas, it wasn't available in my neck of the woods until some time later. But you're still spot-on with 1981, for those lucky ones in Northern New Jersey. Maybe I should have said VH-1?? They launched in 1985 and, if I recall correctly, played Kenny G. so often, it's amazing anyone ever wanted to pick up a saxophone again! Thanks Michael! Good point.

MTV actually started in 1981, the same year. No offense guys, but you say the snow happened in 1981, a few years before MTV. MTV actually started in 1981, the same year.
