also, an 11 disc Fridays set:

Well I wanted to post about this. I'm not sure what is out there regarding Friday's. I did a trade with somebody on sell.com who said that he had the most episodes available and he was the original source for the material. I can't confirm that that's actually true or not, but in case anyone is interested, i have an 11 disc set

For those that may not know, Friday's was an early 80's, live comedy sketch with musical guests program similar to Saturday Night Live. It was actually more popular than SNL for a time, but became the victim of some bad luck as Nightline became a regular nightly program, and it bumped Friday's to midnight or later on the schedule, and ratings sunk and it was cancelled. Friday's had an excellent cast and IMO better musical guests than SNL, and also, the audience was alot rowdier than SNL, which made for some good moments. here is some of what is on there.

-Andy Kaufman/Michael Richards fight: Andy Kaufman refuses to do his lines, and tempers escalate betwee he and Michael Richards, ending up in a fight that gained international attention.

-Ronny Horror Picture show - often considered the series' crowning moment, a spoof of Rocky Horror picture show about the incoming Reagan administration.

-Stray Cats (first apperance in the U.S.)
-the Clash (first apperance in the U.S.)
-Plasmatics (extremely bizarre performance)

I should note that there are some partial episodes/segments, and the quality on some of them is pretty rough. Also, some episodes seem to be broken apart and spaced apart. So obviously, this is not a Joker-quality set, but I don't know of anything else out there. Hopefully, the series will be reran somewhere somebody or a there will be a retail release, but Michael Richards is the only person currently holding up a dvd release, and he is a jerk anyways.

It stinks that GMC recently pulled Cosby from its lineup. I wonder if they aired the complete run during its stint there.

on the bright side, at least they went through one almost complete run of the series, which allowed several of us to finally get this show. I know it's one of the main ones I've wanted for a long time, and I know several others that have wanted it.

they skipped a total of 5 episodes, but aired the rest

some of them might have aired. sometimes the episodes were not what they said they were. Sometimes my dvr wouldnt pick up an episode thinking it was one it repeated but would be something different then it said it was
