MV3 - Show opening credits

[DaveWollenberg]

Whatever happened to Richard, David, and Karen?

[timepoet77]

Boy, do I remember this. I especially can remember having a crush on Karen L. Scott...at only 11 years old, too.

[WallyKurtz]

Loved this show. Watched it all the time (we didn't have cable) in Florida. Not sure what channel. I think it was on weekdays around 4?

[rowdymax1]

whoa....Richard Blade looks like dead Bernie dude in "Weekend At Bernie's"

[SerjHasEmerged]

My best friend and I would rush home after school to watch MV3...loved Richard Blade on this show and we'd listen to him on KROQ 106.7 rock of the 80's! :) Good times!

[discofabe]

i was in junior high in east L.A.

[thelonious1]

Anybody remember Video One?

[depotdollars]

Video One was also great on KJLH channel 9 in Los Angeles before it became KCAL

[Lalo3001]

I used to run from Junior High to my house in time to catch this show! It came on here in LA on KCAL Channel 9. I had a huuuuge crush on Karen Scott. Thanx for posting.

[Gabby9292K1]

I could easily see why........

[seksuroba]

THANK YOU for posting MV3 clips!! I grew up in Michigan but we had it syndicated. I didn't have cable so this was my introduction and lifeline to what I thought was the hippest/coolest stuff at the time.

[SPOON007a]

Awesome like totally !!!!

[WashingtonBeUpInThis]

I have quite fond memories of this show. Someone needs to put together a best of DVD pronto!

[airdriver]

My younger brother was a die hard fan of this show and hated it whenever I impersonated Richard Blade's Aussie(?) accent.

[Gabby9292K1]

Karen Scott mentioned that he was from England. Last I heard, he was filling in @ KYSR 98.7 FM in Los Angeles

[idante1018]

Thanks for the memory lane. I was around 11-12 also...I'm starting to feel silly when people look at me when I talk about MV3....I'm not alone anymore..

[krazydboy]

Growing up in Lennox, we were all poor and didn't know anybody who had cable then. We all wanted MTV, but MV3 was the closest we got. I was so in love with Karen Scott. I rememberd this show real good on channel 9 in L.A. Yes, it always was an hour long. I remember seeing Karen Scott at the US festival day 2. She interviewed Van Halen for the MV3 show.

[SHAVEDGERMANHEAD]

damm! i used to dance on that show!

[billgbg]

I accidentally recorded a fantastic opening for the show where they used the song "Baby Workout" as the title theme--which is the first time I ever heard the Jackie Wilson original song. The cutting was fantastic on it. It's rare that I think of a show's opening.

[retroqueen]

Does anyone remember that David Maples had the biggest crush on Patty Smyth from Scandal and Richard Blade dated Terry Nunn from Berlin??

[isandrich]

Oh my goodness!! I used to love this show.

[Mongoose4You]

HOLY SHIT!!! I talk to people about this show and NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY, has ever even heard of it!!! I caught it on ch.9 in LA and raced home by 3:30 to soak in every second...the first time I ever heard of George Clinton, The Talking Heads, Berlin, geeze, brings back memories...anyone remember the Mighty 690?!?

[P102AB]

I grew up in the South Bay area of Los Angeles(remember Black Flag?)In the 80's. We never , ever, even heard of this show.I can only guess this was for really young teens. Come on people, MTV was the real f*ckin' deal, remember ?? (and yes, I remember the mighty 690.)

[Mongoose4You]

Yeah, you're right; MTV was the real deal, but for those of us who didn't yet have cable, MV3 was IT! As for being a show for young teens, perhaps...I was all of 10 or 11 when this show was on and I couldn't get enough of it

[retroqueen]

Yeah mongoose I used to watch it too!! Monday through Friday!! Do you Remember Video One and En Vivo?? I used to watch MV3 to see what everyone was wearing :)

[Mongoose4You]

Video One rings a bell, but I can't remember if it was a show or an ill-fated channel...En Vivo...not so much. Fill me in on these two, if you please! I'm curious to know what they're about!

[retroqueen]

Video One was on Channel 56 in Burbank I think. Rodney Bingenheimer had a guest show showing his video picks and Richard Blade hosted sometimes too. En Vivo I think was on channel 34--it was the Hispanic MV3. Some girl hosted it and she would speak in spanish and english.

[Mongoose4You]

Hooray! You remember it too! Though it rings a bell, I don't quite remember what Video One was...En Vivo is fuzzier still...fill me in on these two, if you please! Here's a bonus: do you remember the Miller's Outpost ads with the cowboy dudes? They used to be EVERYWHERE, like The Federated Group ads with Fred Rated! Man, why do I feel like I need some GrapeVines cord shorts and a 13-inch color TV (with remote!)?

[P102AB]

While you're at it, don't forget Max Headroom. Or that Burger King ad with the little old lady "Where's the Beef ?"

[Gabby9292K1]

Believe it or not, I do. It was an AM Radio station that played like, 6 records over & over & the station had NO personality @ all.

[70sKidVid]

The show actually ran an hour, not a half hour. Towards the end of the show's run, they started cutting back on the dancers and showing the videos in their entirety.

[crashsite000]

That could be. I thought I remember it being only a half hour orignally then maybe increasing to an hour. A lot of fans talk about it starting at 3:30 so you'd think it was a half hour show. Anyway I was only 13 so what do I remember.

[70sKidVid]

I originally caught the show in 82 when it was syndicated in Dallas and it ran an hour then. When I moved out west the next year, I was able to catch it on Ch. 9 in Los Angeles for the last few months and it was still an hour.

[CrashVegas1]

@crashsite000 I loved MV3! I don't remember it ever being a half-hour, though.
