NBC was cool once. <\/p>\n

In the 1980s, not everyone had MTV. Our (small) cable company didn’t. <\/p>\n

The only broadcast alternative for music videos was NBC’s Friday Night Videos,<\/a> which aired after Johnny Carson.<\/a><\/p>\n

Above, the Emmy-winning title graphics by Annabel Jankel and Rocky Morton (more on them in a post tomorrow). <\/p>\n

And here’s most of the videos from the above show (minus Prince and Morris Day; not readily embeddable). With some vintage closing credits and more at the end  . . . .<\/p>\n
