    • Justin Timberlake is no stranger when it comes to MTV. He was one of the big names on the network, both with *Nsync as a solo artist. His music videos made the network something to watch, and they landed him on the Total Request Live countdown time and time again. However, we know Total Request Live is gone, and unless you watch MTV in the middle of the night or in the early morning hours, there isn’t much in the way of music videos still on the network called music television.

      Justin Timberlake returns to MTV this week. No, not with a new music video. He is bringing a series to the network as an executive producer. Another reality series of sorts where a group of people will go against each other using their cell phones to win a $50,000 payout prize. The four individuals playing in the game are going to be turned into action stars of sorts as they work through the competition for the prize.

      The series premiered on Tuesday night, and if you watch MTV at all you probably saw the constant promotion for it. Timberlake thought up the concept for this little game, and I’m curious at what will happen here. MTV already has one competion style game with the challenges between former Real Worlders and Road Rulers still popular, even if some of the competitiors are getting older as time goes on.  Am I the only one that misses the days when MTV really was music television?
