Why?

Oct 27, 2021

I have contacted Pluto TV directly but have been ignored. I am watching less and less of this train wreck. The stuttering and freezing and skipping through portions of shows is beyond annoying and frustrating. "We're having trouble playing this title" appears all too often. It is difficult to follow conversations and show content when they skip and start and repeat what was just aired. Continuity is screwed. Your platform is second rate at best. It demonstrates quite clearly CBS Viacom doesn't give a crap about what is being presented. On top of the technical issues, someone has decided to air just a couple of promotional announcements over and over and over ... the same promos are seen in each break during a program, every break, every show, the same damn promos are assaulting viewers. You have hundreds of shows to promote, but you choose to promote only four or five. Why? Mystery Science Theatre, Match Game for example. I can't watch them because your promos have damaged the brand irreparably. An analogy--you like cake. But if you ate a piece of cake every 15 minutes for days and weeks at a time, you would soon hate cake. You should be embarrassed over what Pluto TV is today. Hire someone to fix this mess before you have no viewers to reach.

If you needed to show it over and over so some people need to be caught up to show so they under stand this show then do it on another channel. LEAVE MY MTV CLASSICS FOR MUSIC ALONE PLEASE.

MTV continued airing of Teen Moms 2 after dog murder by David Evans

May 02, 2019

This MTV show should be pulled off the air immediately. One of the families tortured, then murdered their dog because it nipped at their little girl's face. The offending persons chose to video the nipping incident, instead of intervening to help the child. David Evans then, at his own admission, banged the dog's head on their deck before taking the dog two acres away (giving him time to think about his actions); then shooting it dead with a shotgun. No consideration was given to other solutions prior to torturing and murdering the dog, as evidenced by David and Janelle's statements on different types of media. The dog could have been sent to a rehoming shelter. I know this because I rescued a Standard Poodle that did the same thing. Her owners, concerned for their child's safety did a responsible thing. The poodle lived a wonderful life for 11 years under my care, not having injured anyone. The family probably bought what is an expensive purebred dog with proceeds from their participation in Teen Moms 2; a show they were featured on because they had the ability to procreate before reaching adulthood. It takes maturity to raise kids, and dogs. This atrocity was not featured on the show, but is now known so widely on the news that Viacom and MTV should immediately cancel the show to demonstrate positive social consciousness. I log about 10 hours a week with MTV, but will no longer do so until Viacom takes socially responsible action. I'm not a member of PETA, but I do have 28 years law enforcement experience. These people on this show have demonstrated criminal behavior, and should not be awarded monetarily, or be made "famous". I understand the father has been banned from the show, but they still own another dog, and the safety of that dog and their child is still questionable.

Boycott Georgia

Jun 05, 2019

Hi: Very disappointed when I heard that VIACOM will boycott the State of Georgia, just because the majority of Georgians are Christians and don't believe in later term abortions (at taxpayers' expense); if VIACOM does boycott Georgia, then we will boycott all VIACOM products since it's clearly about politics and doesn't care about killing an unborn baby that has a heartbeat.

My dad tried Viacom for a few months and was not charged the agreed price. They also charged his credit card for reasons which they tell us why and now have refused to give him a credit back.. The representative I talked to was unclear and contradictive. I was placed on hold multiple times so he could speak with another group regarding my dad's account. No Resolve

Viacom "Season Pass" Purchases on Xbox Not Honored

Dec 27, 2018

I tried to send this email to Viacom, but their "Contact" section on their website would not process: Through my Xbox, I purchased the full season of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 4, which is currently airing. This purchase is valid and authorized through Microsoft. When I first made the purchase, the episodes were uploaded to my Microsoft account the next day after they aired on VH1. The most recent episode that aired on December 21st did not upload at all. I contacted Microsoft and they said there is nothing they can do, that VH1 has not yet released the episode for upload. If VH1/Viacom are not willing to release the episodes for upload as part of the Season Pass deal with Microsoft/Xbox, then perhaps Viacom should reconsider offering these types of deals for their programs. Please release these programs to Microsoft in a timely manner so I can enjoy what I paid for.

TV show Commercial selection after Full House....OUTRAGEOUS!

Apr 04, 2018

2.0

My family of 4 with two daughters 15-18 just finished an episode of Full House...family entertainment....GOOD for Nick@***e for running this show. Then the next commercial pops up and a girl yells out " What up Bitches?1?1?1?1?... Are you kidding me.... how can they put this advertisement for their own TV SHOW on after a clean family show like Full House? The editors need to have thier heads examined! I'm not sure why they would even want advertise after Full House because no parent would want to expose thier kids to this kind of show after being a faithful Full House fan. No more Nick@***e for our family.... Viacom WAKE UP there are plenty of choices out there in Cableland. Please please review the commercial content before you air it on prime time cable TV.

Teachers TV Show is horrible

Feb 07, 2017

This TV show should not be allowed on TV. It is disrespectful to women teachers making them look dumb and immoral.

There are some great shows on this channel like The Andy Griffith Show. I will tape the shows I like and not watch shows that lack morals. It's such a shame when bad shows are mixed with good quality shows. There is too much garbage on TV as it is, so please clean it up.

I know people who feel as I do and we are sick and tired of all the Disrespect!

Let's strive to make America great again and drop these horrible shows. They belong in the garbage.
