I'd say Yay to nearly all of those. Any show actually focusing on music is missed by me.

Soul Train (while Don was THE host!): Yes

American Bandstand: Yes. They went off the air at just the right time before music turned to bullshit.

Solid Gold: Yes

Radio 1990 (USA): Never saw that one.

Night Tracks (TBS): Yes

The Midnight Special (ABC): Yes

Top Of The Pops (BBC): Never saw that one.

The Hit Man and Her (BBC?) Never heard of that one.

Club MTV (MTV): Yes.

The Grind (MTV): Yes. But I liked Club MTV better.

The Party Machine with Nia Peeples: Yes

Friday Night Videos (NBC): Yes

Soul Train (while Don was THE host!) Yay

American Bandstand Yay

Radio 1990 (USA) a huge Yay

Night Tracks (TBS) a huge Yay

The Midnight Special (ABC) ???? (Too young to remember!)

The Hit Man and Her (BBC?) Yay (judging by the footage on YouTube, I miss out on a fun show!)

The Party Machine with Nia Peeples Yay (I miss THIS show the most)

Tony, have you always lived in Louisiana? If so, did y'all pick up "Black Gold" from Jackson, MS. A friend of mine is from Lake Providence, LA (I think that's the name of the city in Louisiana, just over the Mississippi line) and he said they used to get it there.

Soul Train (while Don was THE host!) - yes

American Bandstand - yes

Solid Gold - yes?

Radio 1990 (USA)

Night Tracks (TBS) - Hell yes! Before we had MTV

The Midnight Special (ABC) - only saw reruns

Top Of The Pops (BBC) - never watched it

The Hit Man and Her (BBC?) - what the fuck?

Club MTV (MTV) - sorta, but I don't miss Julie Brown

The Grid (MTV) - it's actually The Grind And hell no I don't miss it. Eric Nies was a wienie

The Party Machine with Nia Peeples - ummm...no

Friday Night Videos (NBC) - yes

They were playing a lot of the hits in the gay clubs at the time.

I've been in Louisiana my whole life before I moved to Arkansas in 2006.

While I lived in New Orleans & Baton Rouge, I don't recall ever seen Black Gold at all (my cousin Bev might have, since we both have the same musical taste). But I have seen The Jukebox Network (aka The Box) since 1989. That lasted almost a decade before they were brought out by MTV.

I'll re-edit. Thanks!

And Tommy, Downtown Julie Brown was way better than Eric Nies.

TonyVanDam said:

And all that tells you is how absolutely awful he was. That fucking wubba wubba shit. She shoulda just stayed the roller disco queen or whatever.

TommyRoss said:

I assume you also remember West Coast Julie Brown? She was responsible for Earth Girls Are Easy, the worst John Waters film that he never made.

TommyRoss said:

DJB was a valley girl, without question! But I wonder if she ever does the "wubba wubba" in bed?!?

VoicesCarry said:

Of course I remember her. She actually made me laugh with her ridiculous show, Just Say Julie. Made some pretty stupid songs that make me laugh, too.

VoicesCarry said:

I remember that 80's trash. It was an awful movie to watch, even as a rental!

TonyVanDam said:

Geena Davis had a goddamn tight body in it, though. She was never hotter.

Electric Circus with Monika Deol, anyone?

I remember Night Tracks!

In my area,we also had a local show called "Magic Number Videos".

Heiress said:

Soul Train (while Don was THE host!)

Night Flight

But, especially, 120 Minutes on MTV!

applekisses said:

OMG she remembers Night Flight

Night Flight played old rock films too, remember?

Like "Rude Boy."

IAintTheOne said:

Of course Were you feelin' old for a minute?

applekisses said:

yeah, yeah now you can feel old wit me

Heiress said:

yup. and what was the one about the punk kids, "another state of mind" or something like that?

growing up in the culture-deprived bowels of the midwest, 'night flight' was my oxygen. i would sit up all night with a tape in the VCR, ready to record everything that i thought looked cool...then i'd watch the tape all week until the next night flights came on.
