These commercials aired on ABC on December 31st, 1983
1. "New Year's Rockin' Eve 1984" Intro (Brought to you by 20th Century Fox and Dr Pepper)
2. "New Year's Rockin' Eve 1984" (With Priscilla Barnes from "Three's Company" and Doug Barr from "The Fall Guy" as hosts. Also featuring Culture Club and Dick Clark in Times Square. I love the shot at 4:42 with Dick Clark waving his arms and having the cue card in front of him, it's awesome to see a sort of "behind the scenes" look)
3. Dr Pepper
4. TV Spot for "Two Of A Kind" (Another box office and critical flop for John Travolta after a string of unsuccessful films, culminating in 1985's "Perfect"...which performed even worse. Travolta was essentially put in movie jail after that and went into semi-retirement until 1989's "Look Who's Talking" became a surprise hit and reinvigorated his career)
5. "New Year's Rockin' Eve 1984" (With Laura Branigan and Dick Clark)
6. Sugar Free Dr Pepper
7. TV Spot for "Two Of A Kind" and "To Be Or Not To Be" ("To Be Or Not To Be" had good reviews but was also not a success at the box office)
8. Promo for "Life's Most Embarrassing Moments" and "Foul-Ups, Bleeps & Blunders" (The latter show was ABC's attempt to copy the format of NBC's "TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes" hosted by Dick Clark and Ed McMahon and produced by Dick Clark Productions. I wonder what Dick Clark thought of this promo airing during his New Year's Eve show?)
9. "New Year's Rockin' Eve 1984" (With Rick James and Dick Clark)
10. TV Spot for "To Be Or Not To Be"
11. Sugar Free Dr Pepper
12. TWA
13. The Dime Savings Bank Of New York
14. Promo for "The Making Of Superman III", "Hardcastle & McCormick" and "California Dolls" ("California Dolls" was originally released in theaters as "...All The Marbles" in 1981 but was retitled when issued outside of the U.S. due to the idiomatic title based on an Americanism not making sense to foreign audiences. This retitle seems to have also applied to TV airings. I would have titled it "Columbo Meets The Lady Wrestlers")
15. "New Year's Rockin' Eve 1984" (With Dick Clark and the ball drop. Happy New Year!)
