- Too Much 4 Much
"Too Much 4 Much" was a Canadian television series, which aired on
MuchMusic . The series, which aired after midnight Eastern time, played controversial videos which had, for one reason or another, been banned from regular rotation on the network, and featured panel discussions on the issues raised by the videos in question.The series first aired in 1991, shortly after MuchMusic banned two high-profile pop videos, Madonna's "
Justify My Love " andMitsou 's "Dis-moi, dis-moi", within a short time of each other. On the program's first airing, the two videos were played, followed by a panel discussion on whether their explicit sexuality and nudity constitutedpornography or art."Too Much 4 Much" did not air as a regular part of MuchMusic's schedule, but as a special program produced whenever a high-profile video was in dispute. On rare occasions a video might be "unbanned" based upon discussion, but more often the program served to justify why the video was banned.
Other artists whose videos were discussed on the series included
Morbid Angel ("Rapture"),Sepultura ("Territory"), Marilyn Manson,Metallica ("Turn the Page"),Nine Inch Nails ("Happiness in Slavery "),New Kids on the Block ("Dirty Dawg "),Me'shell Ndegeocello ("Leviticus: Faggot") and Tool ("Prison Sex").
