Ran from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. (with commercials which were usually just phone sex ads) on Fridays and Saturdays on the USA network. Lots of B movies and cult films, feeling nostalgic and was remembering how I found out about a lot of films I grew to enjoy, because of that show.

Rhonda was the host for Friday night, gilbert took Saturday.

Anyways, if you watched this show

From about 1990-1993 my Friday night routine was:

Get off the bus
Ride my bike as fast as I could to Cormies movie store in Lake Charles
Get a NES and/or SNES game or two
Go next door to Cormies grocery for candy and a six pack of Dr Pepper or Mountain Dew
Pizza man would arrive not long after I got home

Play games until about midnight
Watch Up All Night from about midnight till the Mountain Dew wore off and I passed out

Of course this whole time having the NES game paused until morning


I miss the 90s

You forgot to add
Spend 10 minutes blowing into the game cartridge and NES to get the game to work properly.

Then get frustrated at the game and plug in the "game genie" for all the cheats

IFC is carrying "Night Flight" on Friday nights, another throwback to the past.

I had it rough in the 90's.

My parents only had basic cable.

I remember Up All Night as being mostly cheesy T and A movies with the T and A edited out.

Oh course I watched it.

That in combination with sliding your index finger side to side on the part of the cartridge you pressed down to wiggle the tape a bit.

Worked every single time ....

But yes. Loved some USA up all night.

Before we had internet, this was the reason my sock count in the wash wasn't divisible by two.

Watched the show, owned the Playboy:



That show is so early 90's captured in a time-capsule.

Piggy backing on this, do y’all remember TBS Dinner & a Movie?
The wife and I used to watch that stuff all the time. Especially during rerun season.

I still remember the way Ronda went high pitch when she said "up" in "USA up All Night"

There’s a great Night Flight streaming app (Roku, etc.)

Has some of the best episodes and a selection of insane movies and cult music docs.

Couple of bucks a month.

I was too young for that, unfortunately. I feel like I may have missed out.
