It was one of those shows you made sure to set some time aside for. For a fan of music videos, Friday Night Videos was like the football game on Sunday is to football fans. Sure, we had MTV (if you could get it) at the time and that gave us videos non-stop, but there was just something magical about a show that only came around once a week and introduced brand new videos you hadn't seen just yet. I know that probably the video I always hoped to see each week was Take On Me by A-ha, only because of how unique it was and the fact that the song was so catchy. But the whole show was fun and different in comparison to MTV.

I've never seen this, it played music videos which are always the same across stations so I assume this had great in between the videos segments.

They would often have guest hosts doing the in-between stuff. A lot of people didn't have cable/satellite MTV in the early 80's, so this WAS MTV for those people. For me, I just liked the format.

I used to watch the successor of this show Friday Night.

I have tried for years to explain to guys outside the Seattle area what it was like to live here back in the 80's and 90's - no one believes me!
