SYNOPSIS

One year after the premiere of NBC's Friday Night Videos, network television's first attempt to respond to the popularity of cable television's MTV (Music Television), ABC entered the fray with this half hour of music videos.

Each weekly show consisted of a number of currently popular rock music videos, by such artists as Prince, The Cars, Cyndi Lauper, Bonnie Tyler, Eurythmics, Billy Idol, David Bowie, Huey Lewis and the News, and A Flock Of Seagulls.
