MTV was really rough for the first few years. I saw day#1, moon man and all, and i can tell you that for the first year at least, it was fashion-casualty central and lots of really bad no-production-values-having bullshit.
There weren't any commercials in the beginning, though... and everyone seemed to be having fun exploring new territory. Nobody knew what the hell a video was supposed to look like, so there was a lot of variety.

Headbangers Ball and Yo!...from the start were far better programs than any of the shit they play now. Aside from those MTV has always sucked. (Amend for animation)
also add 120 munites/alternative nation was cool.
