================================================
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fridays_(TV_series)

Fridays is the name of ABC's weekly late-night live comedy show, which aired on Friday nights from April 11, 1980 to April 23, 1982 with repeats airing until October 22, 1982. The show was originally 70 minutes in its first season, but was expanded to 90 minutes in season two.

The program was ABC's attempt to duplicate the success of NBC's Saturday Night Live (especially since SNL was facing a decline in quality in the early 1980s following the departure of show creator Lorne Michaels and the remnants of his original cast). Like SNL, each week Fridays featured music acts and, in the second season, celebrity guest hosts, as well as fake newscasts and spoofs of television shows and commercials.

This is from my master cassette recorded off the ABC TV audio at the far left of the FM dial. Not true FM quality, but not bad.

The performances are smokin'.

As of this writing the videos are up on Youtube:
