Loved this show as a teenager!
Loved this show as a teenager! Back in the 80's rock videos and I want my M T V was the rage. In Canada we had no M T V and a not as good Much Music came latter. So we watched Good Rockin' Tonite with Terry david Mulligan . Every Friday late night the guys would watch Good Rockin' Tonite at Tony's house! Mulligan and the producers gave a certain energy and feel for the 80's and the 80's music scene. What I like back in the day was the video's told silly stories of post nuclear war, hot babes, fast cars, total breaks of the hearts etc mixed in with some colorful interviews with Mulligan! The interchange of word play, rock questions, and a few silly games made G R T exciting for a Friday night. Stu Jeffries took over G R T when Mulligan left for Much! I just hated Stu at first. Did not have the same impact as Mulligan, which was a hard act to follow. Tony said give Stu some time Stu is trying to develop his own style. After the first few month's Stu developed a rhythm of his own. Stu actually became better then Mulligan over time. Stu was the popular funny guy we all liked. In the end G R T brings back memories of good music and good friends! Which is what the 80's were all about!
This Was My Introduction To What Is The Music Video
I used to watch GRT every Friday nights on CBC and Video Hits on Weekdays. This was the start of my preteen/teen aged years. I wonder why this show didn't go further than 10 years. Stu Jeffries said that there wasn't much need for the show anymore because of the advent of Muchmusic. I think that because MTV and Much aren't really showing any videos in any serious way that there should be a Classic GRT You Tube channel at least. But there isn't one I would like to say to Stu that he should have a GRT Classics You Tube channel and that I would subscribe to it. Please Stu? You owe it to your fans to put up a You Tube channel of classic Good Rockin Tonite.
