We'll stop there before giving too much away. Where would the trademark Night Flight discovery be in that? Tonight, it's all yours. Enjoy.
Note: the dominance of workout-themed anthems in the commercial free video segment can correlated to the on-going ’84 Summer Olympics. That being said, they are truly a sight to behold.
Night Flight - Mother's Day Special (As Aired)
-
Tonight we salute the overworked and underpaid women who made it all possible, our Mothers! We bring you two hours of original Night Flight in the form of a 1991 Mother’s Day Weekend Special. This episode joins our “As Aired,” section, which means the commercials are Intact. (And WOW are there a lot of late night call in commercials!).
Anyone who watched Night Flight in the 90s know that the syndication episodes took on an almost manic, break-neck editing speed. Look out for a myriad of strange 90s animation, oddball short films and video mashups, with the episodes top billing goes to the special feature: Mothers of Punk, looking at the music of Patti Smith, Chrissie Hynde, X’s Exene Cervenka, and Nina Hagen.
Sit back and tune in for Night Flight, the show that tucks you in at night (just like your momma!)

Night Flight's R.E.M. Video Profile and Directions in Jazz
-
Highlights from R.E.M.'s career to date in music video form are shown with some great interview bites from the group members.
Whether or not you approved of the direction Kenny G, Branford Marsalis, Bobby McFerrin & Herb Alpert took this beloved genre back in the heady days of 1988, that was pretty much the best of what the mainstream had to offer and here it is in all of its pre-fab, slick and kid-friendly glory. Call it "Jazz" or what you will, you cannot deny the brassy entertainment value of the music videos you will see in this edition Night Flight's "Direction In Jazz"! Miles Davis does make an appearance, so there is a bit of credibility thrown in the mix, too.
