Friday Night Videos

I still remember that video because that was at the time, and that's the channel we had, and they played it.

There was this thing called Friday Night Videos, which every Friday night, they would show like an hour worth of the top 10 songs and the videos that went with them.

Yeah.

I loved where I grew up.

Let's not put all the blame on MTV.

We also had Friday night videos, right? And there was HBO between movies used to have something like a video jukebox.

Yeah, yeah.

So there are certain songs that I remember watching specifically on there.

But, but I mean, yeah, that video was all over, um, early MTV, and, like, even before, like, I di- I didn't even get MTV in my neighborhood until two years later, but you had things like Radio 1990, and where they would play the videos and stuff, all that.

And, uh, S- Friday Night Videos where you would see things like that.

But that was the first time I remember hearing a song on, like, like I said, daytime radio in the prime drive, as opposed to like, "Oh, I'm only hearing this song on the overnights."

Right.

We'll be switching to the ballparks in just a bit for the voices of Vin Scully, Joe Garagiola, Bob Costas, and Tony Kubik.

Bob, of course, coming off his successful co-hosting stint last night of Friday Night Videos.

Next week, Bob will be touring with Frankie Avalon, Bobby Rydell, and Fabian.

All right, this 1986 baseball season got underway last Monday in presidential fashion.

What did you want to say?

No, I'm just like, wow, you know? These podcasts bring back so many memories of the '80s of, like you say, Friday night videos, MTV, you know, they had all the concert tickets going out.

Not like nowadays where everything's done electronically.

You actually got a ticket.

Michael Jackson's on." [laughs]

Oh my gosh, you remember? 'Cause I didn't have cable for a while either, like you said.

You remember Friday night videos? Like, they would go back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

Yeah.

And I'm like, "Oh, okay, this is it." This was before The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

This was when he was on, like, Friday Night Videos that used to air on Channel 3.

This was, this was when, uh, uh, MTV, you know, was putting him on to do little MTV promos.

I remember thinking, "Yo, I wanna, I wanna rock with this." And seein'- seeing the Parents Just Don't Understand video.

Friday Night Videos used to air, I think Byron Allen was the host, at, like, 11:30 or something like that.

And if I could figure out a timer on the VCR to get it to run...

Yeah, I get that.

I grew up in New Jersey, so video music box was a big thing.

There was a program called Friday Night Videos.

Yep.

Friday.

Top half of the ninth, 7-1 Baltimore.

Remember, local news, except out on the West Coast, follows the ball game, and The Tonight Show, and Friday night videos.

Koosman has been some postseason pitcher.

In league championship play, his record is 1-0, as Shelby fouls it off, and in World Series competition, 3-0.
