Sunday Stew was a block of programming aired on Sunday nights between 9-11 p.m. where MTV showed new episodes of their comedic programs targeted towards younger college-aged men. Like MTV2, the Stew showed short films before and after a show. The branding was discontinued on television in December 2005.
