Matt Pinfield's MTV show '120 Minutes' returns

MTV's alternative-rock era show "120 Minutes" has returned, with its original host at the helm.

Matt Pinfield is back running the music-based show on MTV2, which left broadcast in 2003. With it, the promise of its original content tentpoles including music videos and wily interviews. The first episode, to air Saturday (July 30) will include appearances from PJ Harvey, Dave Grohl, Cults and Das Racist.

"There will be differences: I am no longer sitting on those road cases, because my legs are too short and I can't touch the ground," Pinfield told MTV. "I think that the way that people digest music and information now has changed quite a bit ... so the difference will be, we will still and I'm very proud to show full videos -- at least 12 a show -- but there will be a lot more guests and a lot more action and a lot more things will be happening a lot faster."
