Written By: apollonia1986 on 01/11/09 at 3:28 pm

Hi Y'all!

I'm hoping that somebody could help me. As many of you know, I am a huge fan of all things 80s (I mean dig my siggy  :D ) What I need is the time slot for three differenct music shows:

American Bandstand, Soul Train and Solid Gold. What days and at what times did these shows air in the 1980s? (preferably 1980-1985)

I'll KARMA any and all answers!

Thank you!  ;D

Tam! You're a rockstar! Thanks so much! KARMA! Yay!  ;D

I was thinking that Bandstand was on a Satuday.

Funky story--I remembered reading once that when Michael Jackson got burned in the Pepsi commercial (his head became a fireworks display on a Friday night) that the next afternoon in the hospital he watched Bandstand. And that was a Saturday.  ;D  I don't know WHY little tidbits like that stay lodged in my brain!  :)
