Friday Night Videos robs MTV of its spark in harsh Sun-Times critique
Chicago Sun-Times critic P J Bednarski derides NBC's Friday Night Videos as a dull MTV copy that depresses with a pervasive working-class misery. He calls the show uneven, noting Beat It as a rare standout while lamenting the overall somber tone and lack of dancing fun. He contrasts USA Cable Night Flight as the better video outlet and mocks host Nick Michaels.
