Quick, what channel on your respective cable/TV viewing system is VH1 Classic? Oh, you don’t know? That’s not surprising, because who the hell watches VH1 Classic? But soon, the answer will be (or should be) everyone.
That’s because on August 1st, VH1 Classic will be re-branded as MTV Classic and start airing all of our old-school favs, including Daria, Run’s House, Beavis & Butt-head, Pimp My Ride, Cribs, Jackass, and Punk’d. That’s right, friends — all of the shows you loved to watch on the channel that supposedly was for music videos are coming back!
The station will kick off with “MTV Hour One,” which is the very first hour of programming the original MTV aired when it launched 35 years ago on the same date. Then, according to Bustle:
MTV Classic will be moving into a full-on walk down memory lane, with The TRL Decade, which takes a look at all the years of that old chestnut Total Request Live. And it doesn’t stop with that first day of airing; MTV Classic will devote different days and time blocks to all the varieties of programming that they used to have on offer. For example, primetime blocks will be mostly given over to animated classics like Daria, classic reality shows will air Monday through Thursdays during the late-night hours, and Fridays will be dedicated to music shows, with the airing of the best-of MTV Unplugged, including some episodes that haven’t seen the light of day in years.
Additionally, weekends will be devoted to marathons some of our favorites, such as The Real World and Laguna Beach.
Check out the promo for MTV Classic below and get ready to head back to the back in time. .

Jenna used to be known as 2NOTBrokeGirls, but then one of the girls actually went broke, so she's struck out on her own. Jenna spends her free time saving the world, one sorority girl at a time (usually while wearing yoga pants), questioning why she decided to get a doctorate, documenting her love of all things cheese related, and hosting the new PGP podcast Don't Take It From Us. You can ask her anything you want about football, using your boobs to get what you want, and pizza at @JennaLCrowley on Twitter or via email at JennaLCrowley@gmail.com.

Singled Out? Love Line with Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew? I need to relive hitting the Last Channel button on the remote because I hear my mom walking downstairs!!
Alice in Chains Unplugged better get some airtime.
