Night Flight! I wonder how many Betamax tapes are still at my parent's house FILLED with Night Flight. Yes we had a Betamax and it was awesome. It had a remote with a CORD! A 50 ft. CORD! You would get better quality from that then the actual broadcast.

@Matt "When you talk about letting a channel entertain you, I think it’s hard for anything to compete with our Ipods these days…nobody programs our musical taste better than us!"

Problem today is there is NO filter. As badly as radio is/was programmed, there is so much music out there no one can possibly keep up with it all.

You pegged it perfectly re: Friday Night Videos. We didn't have cable, so I watched Friday Night Videos religiously.

FNV was the outlet that served up my first viewing of "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson, and more importantly, "Our House" by Madness and "When The Lights Go Out" by Naked Eyes.

VH-1 Classic in its infancy was SO much cooler than the channel that occupies the same slot now. You would see all sorts of videos for tunes that you didn't even KNOW there was a video for that tune. My cable system didn't have it for years, and I was always pissed when I would go over to a friend's house that had VH-1 Classic.

Although I think that that is part of the fun of blogs - and the bloggers that open you to new music, or a side of a particular artist that you've missed!
