We were late to get cable in the 80s. Didn't have it until 1987. So what does a kid like me addicted to music videos do? Well, ya watch any and every music video show on regular TV. This was appointment viewing for me every Friday when I was a young teen. As a matter of fact at one time ABC Rocks aired at midnight until 12:30 and then this would start at 12:30 so I was in music video heaven. The peak of this show, for me, was hosted by Nick Michaels (off camera). He would introduce the videos and they'd have interviews with different rock stars that didn't contain an interviewer. It was great. Once they ditched Michaels and brought in Scott Muni and then started having Guest Hosts like current sitcom stars and comedians I started losing interest. I just wanted to see the videos. Eventually it turned into a full on comedy show with occasional videos. By that time I had gotten MTV and had no real need for Friday Night Videos anymore.
