It’s the first 12:03 since that’s my birthday.
The launch, the legendary six words, the incomparable VKTRS. That’s all followed by the first network promo, Pat Benetar’s “You Better Run,” the debut by the original VJ’s, Superman II ad, Dolby commercial, and Mark Goodman doing the first ever intro of a video. 1 August 1981. Nothing in TV will ever again capture this kind of magic.
