2	''Station Zero'' was a [[ShortRunners very short-lived]] animated television series on Creator/{{MTV}}, airing in 1999 and then quickly disappearing from the airwaves with little fanfare. In a similar format as ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'', the series followed four young black (and one Latino) men who, running [[ShowWithinAShow a fictional public-access television show]] called ''Live from the Bronx'', watched hip-hop videos (and the occasional rock video) and provided humorous commentary.
