120 Minutes

Ang 120 Minutes ay isang programa sa telebisyon sa Estados Unidos na nakatuon sa alternatibong genre ng musika, na orihinal na naipalabas sa MTV mula 1986 hanggang 2000, at pagkatapos ay maipalabas sa MTV's associate channel MTV2 mula 2001 hanggang 2003.

Matapos ang pagkansela nito, pinangunahan ng MTV2 ang isang kapalit na programa na tinatawag na Subterranean.
