Friday Night Videos with bumpers and commercials |1983 

Nothing like growing up in the 80’s. Life was simpler. Music, movies & television were at their zenith! We had technology but weren’t dependent on it. We played outside all day, rented a VHS from the corner video store and played Nintendo at night! I wouldn’t trade those days for anything. Glad I was able to experience the 80’s first hand, and be able to grab a piece of nostalgia anytime I want to thanks to videos like this.

I was 13 years old in 83. I remember watching FNV on a huge tube TV that was a large piece of furniture that sat in our living room after spending all my money at Aladin´s castle at the local mall. Or after seeing a movie in an actual movie theater. Such a simple word for a teen-age boy to grow up in vs. modern times. Thanks for the memories! 80s FOREVER!

80s. No decade like it before, has been and will be none after. What a ride. Looking back, I have no idea how the world got to here from there. Talk about societal devolution. As for these videos, thank you for the upload!!!

57:38 When Top-40 radio was real top-40. A complete basket case now, all modern pop, hip and rap with all auto-tuning and computers doing all the music.

Friday nights, this series was our MTV for those of us who didn't have cable TV 😊.

You have an amazing collection of nostalgic videos. I love people like you that preserve our history 🤗

I don't know you, but I appreciate your posts of days gone.

I was 11 years old in 83, thank you so much for this. Memories...

🎸☮️ WOW Rick Allen still had both arms in that def Leppard video! I miss the 80's so much, of course I was only 5 in 83' but still 😉😂

Wow.. You're videos really bring the nostalgia. I'm curious, do you remember a show called Night Flight? I remember watch it late night in the 80's.

That was a great edit out of the black & white of the Beatles I Want to Hold Your Hand from 1964 into the B&W of 1983 The Police with Every Breath You Take. Music, & music fans need to appreciate and know their music history and appreciate that the Bug Bang started here and everyone since and still owes them a debt of gratitude.

Great times gone , it was the pinnacle of true good times !

I didn't have cable as a kid, & I would have to stay up late on Friday night in order to watch this. Loved Friday Night Videos on NBC.

I was 6 watching this show in 83. My mother would go to sleep and I would be up all night watching tv waiting for Saturday morning cartoons . I know you saying what a six year old doing up late but in Brooklyn in the 80's the crack era made it hard to sleep with the noise of gun shots and drug abusers Yup that's the 80's in New York

You have the best “background videos” that I play when I’m doing house work. Love them and thanks for taking the time to upload them with commercials (so many commercials breaks back in the day!)

This is great Mone! That animation at the start is the best! The first vid by The Doors was obviously shot long before MTV and it was know as a promo vid. I grew up loving The Doors as a teen, and the Oliver Stone movie came around at the time. 14:43 This Levi's Jeans ad is SICK. At college it took about 30 seconds to render a single frame of CG animation in the early 90's. I wonder how long it took to make this in 83??? 23:50 I love Def Leppard. Some of my earliest memories were hearing them and VH on the radio. 28:00 When "uppers" were legal. It takes a looonge time to come down from those. 30:00 Eddie Grant was huge. This is a cool little nugget of his heyday. This is my first time to see another of his vids. Great Stuff Mone keep it up mate.

This is a great show,that is the same as MTV.for people weren't getting cable yet.this one is no exception.

i forgot about Tegrin. it just sounds like a chemical you go to an old town seed store to find so you can spray on the weeds at home around your fence. mom and dad say stay away from that stuff til it rains 5 x.

Brother, Im only a 1.2 hr. in & oh my head! Eddie Grant interview! Thomas Dolby! Keep it up, my man!

You've got some crazy rare videos Mone. Styx- Haven't we been here before is a great song, and an amazing video. Music was a high standard at the time. This was prog at it last gasp, but what amazes me is the videos that were probably rarely aired on MTV.

Ok Friday night videos I’m a sub I watched these before I went out or I recorded them !!! Didn’t have MTV in 🇨🇦 this and good rocking tonight

All I remember about 1983 was falling in, and out of love, the invasion of Grenada... I came full circle with myself at the age 18...seems like only yesterday.

Eddy Grant interview is BRILLIANT!

I love your uploads ... I watched many of these shows. So cool ... thanks.

Smh 🤦🏽‍♂️ so many memories 😢

my weird science song is on here, took me back

😍 Trouble again😎

How to vote in your favorite song: call a long distance number. Wow! Maybe we should vote in our politicians this way.

Truely 80's thank you

Love the old Atari ads

So am I the only one who noticed... Walter White 😅 in the LJS bumper.... Yeah Science...

These videos need some de-hiss processing before the input to digital transfer. I'd pass my VCR audio through a stereo which could do it, but anything with Dolby NR should help. These tapes must be recorded at 6 hour SLP for that much hiss.

Start the music! 🎵

Those commercials are priceless & timeless! 👍❤

Working out 🥳

These are so AMAZING!!!!!! ... I am so looking forward to digging through your archives!

Life was stressful even in the 80’s but the comforts derived from the art presented from FNV you knew things would be better tomorrow.

Come to think of it, the 80’s wouldn’t have been worth it without this music.

Watch out for that 175hp Mustang SVO.😂😂😂 Man the early eighties was terrible for cars.

That Wings Hauser movie. He was great as a bad guy RamRod. Now his son is having a great career on Yellowstone. Wow thats Walter White in that Long Johns commercial!

18:26 and 1:23:05 I like watching the early 80's Long John Silver's commercial with the 3 piece fish dinner from 1983 and I love Long John Silvers. their seafood is really good in California especially in Gardena.

Love that Coty Musk Oil commercial! Rawr!! 29:22

Lord Jesus 😂 these commercials 🙈🤣🤣🤣 good stuff

38:38 - George Costanza's mom.

Make normal great again...

Thank you for uploading this I really hope to find more uploaded MTV commercials and all,old shows just from the good old days helps me fall asleep, I even found a vintage Magnavox TV to let play on 😊😊

i love these so much

44:59 Stay With Me Tonight - Jeffrey Osborne. Chills 🌠

We were the new American society! The movers and shakers! We were the new Coffee Generation!!!!

thank you so much for posting these videos, wonderfull memories for me

"When the world is winding down ya take the best of what’s still around." Sting

I swear i remember my aunt watching this program lol right after Arsenio hall or something like that lol i miss being a kid in 80s

It's more like Friday Night's Video. 🤷

39:37 Blinded Me With Science. Love that song!!

That was the thing about Friday Night Videos, you got 1-2 videos before having to endure a 7-10 minute commercial break. 😂

Brian Cranston for Long Johns!John's!! 😂😂😂

Friday Night Commercials

😊sweet 😊

Fds what the hell was that

29:37 That looks like Lea Thompson in the Coty cologne ad.

I dislike those Irish Spring soap commercials because I take whistling at women street harassment even if this happens in the present year. Julie Gonzalo: You mean "Clean as Street Harassment!"

Gosh this was more like Friday Night Commercials, not videos
