Watching Night Flight

On Friday nights, back in the 80's, before it became the place to go for low budget cop shows, the USA Network was the home of the eclectic video show Night Flight.

In many ways, Night Flight was the grandparent of YouTube, with it's oddball shorts combined with music and old political clips, Night Flight was the the most unusual show on the air.

So in tribute to one of the great shows of the television era, below is my own brief, little bloggers tribute to Night Flight...
