Memories! This was our MTV and you could tell Vincent loved New York. He just can't stop grinning all the time. It was a quite labourious as the videos were sent from New York to London to be converted to PAL then to Dublin for TV broadcast by RTE. The producer used to fly to NY on Sunday, shoot the location scenes from Monday to Wednesday then hear back, edit and compile it for Sunday broadcast. Then do it all again for as long as the series ran! Bizarre now when you can do it all on a smartphone!

Thanks for posting these, i was a huge fan of MT USA back in the 80s, its a pity RTE never released a "best of DVD "

Was a great programme. Sunday 3pm to 6pm and then repeated on a Friday night at midnight.

I started school that year. I remember the ads on the television and the fab cartoons like the Smurfs and Scooby Doo.

The Zip adverts are still popular almost 30 years on. Shamrock was for gardening, What happend to Kellogg's Super Noodles and Bank of Ireland Pass cards opened in smaller towns in the 1990's.
