2011 MTV VMAs Going Back to Basics with Understated Surprises

By Aphrodite M.

Also, the "Teen Wolf" recipe is a long standing favorite with previous generations of young fans. 1985's "Teen Wolf" with Michael J.

Carson Daly with Britney Spears on TRL in 2002.

During MTV's 30 year span, countless VJs have pranced before the network's teen consciousness. A few favorites carried the baton from the first five and helped shape the network throughout its three decades. The original five VJs -- Nina Blackwood, Mark Goodman, Alan Hunter, J.J. Jackson and Martha Quinn, will live on in pop culture history as the pioneers of what was in 1981 a budding music channel. MTV has since grown into an unrivaled multimedia force, encompassing everything relevant to teen and pop culture.
