ABC's 50th Anniversary Celebration (May 19, 2003) 

Anniversary specials remind me SO much of awards shows.

Oh man the smile on my face seeing John Ritter!

This was how ABC celebrated its 50th Anniversary with their own TV reunion, 6 months before CBS celebrated its 75th Anniversary on CBS at 75, also with their own TV reunion too. And too bad you do not have CBS at 75 available, but "As Time Goes By" sure does play as its Warner Bros. Television Fanfare since 11-03-2003.

The same year when ABC & ABS-CBN celebrated its 50th year of television.

its been whole *15 long years* of *golden Jubilee of ABC* its Awesome & phenomenal to adore such things on RU-vid We lost so many giants who made ABC what its today & they'll be missed. *RIP ALI,HOWARD COSELL, JOHN RITTER* ☺

Oh I cried when John Ritter died 😢 I have this and the ABC memorial special they did for him, on the same video tape.

The best actor...Richard Chamberlain 💋 The Thorn Birds ❤️🧡💚💖🌹

Jr Seau, Alan Thicke, Peter Jennings, Florence Henderson, Frank Gifford, Jim McKay, John Ritter, Adam West, and Keith Jackson R.I.P

There was a part that was an inside joke. At the segment that had Henry Winkler,and Laverne and Shirley (Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams),Penny commented about working in TV is like working with your family. This was the inside joke. Her brother Garry Marshall created Happy Days and the spin offs L&S,Mork and Mindy and Joanie loves Chachi. RIP to the Marshall siblings.

Thank you so much for posting this. I've wanted to watch that TGIF part ever since 2003 when I saw it.

To think that four months later, the wonderful John Ritter would be taken away from us.

Richie, 3J, Gwendolyn, Kelsey, First OG Morgan Matthews and Angela were watching the 50th Anniversary while they were in the 9th Grade Freshmen about to become 10th Grade Sophomores 15/16 years old the next year.

Note here: ABC-TV counts its creation from the February, 1953 re-organization with United Paramount Theaters, NOT its actual start of network programming in Spring, 1948. Yes, "Ozzie and Harriet" predates the network's 'birthday!"

The Drew Carey Show and Spin City now air on Laff. Laverne & Shirley and Happy Days now air on MeTV, as well as Batman, Wonder Woman, The Love Boat, and The Brady Bunch.

ABC should have started this special by running their early-to-mid 1960's opening for color programs, in which the letters "a", "b", and "c" move across and then anchor themselves over a black ball.

I got this on tape too,my favorite parts are Brady Bunch,TGIF Line Up,Family Matters,Oprah,Wayne Brady,Emmanuel Lewis,Levar Burton.

Thanks so much for posting this! I've been looking for it for years! :D

They should have had more of a tribute to the ABC Movie of the Week. I'm glad that Duel was mentioned, but there were so many more wonderful movies under that umbrella.

Look at me, scanning this video for matrix reloaded stuff!

Drew Carey later hosted the Price is Right on CBS Daytime

Glad to see this posted

2018 marks 65 years since acc went on the air

If Bill Cosby had his stuff pulled from TV then Woody Allen should as well

I recorded this on my tape and still got it.My favorite part was TGIF and Family Matters cast

I saw this on TV years ago.

To think, channels on RU-vid like FailArmy are a thing today, thanks to shows like America's Funniest Home Videos.

Awesome Awesome Awesome!!!

These commercials on this program are now nalstalga.

Family Matters and Step by Step moved ABC to CBS in 1997.

No Bob Eubanks Jim Lange and Monty Hall. These are the people that saved ABC. They weren't invited for the Celebration.

RIP Adam West

May 19, 2003 a Week before Memorial Day, we had Raider Rally Day through Awards Day 2003 I was about to Passed 7th Grade going to the 8th Grade but I didn't had an Email Address Yet, SNES9X emulator or the Sega Genesis as well until 2005 and 2006.

Do you have new year's with Dick Clark ? Please ?🙏

Happy birthday to the American Broadcasting Company!

This year, ABC turns 70 and 28 under Disney. Este año, ABC cumple 70 y 28 bajo Disney.

The old days of network TV

Did you cut out the roots segment?

I saw the black and white version of Bewitched 1964

Wonder Woman moved to CBS to 1977.

How come they skipped the 60th anniversary in 2013 and will they be doing a 70th anniversary in 2023?

Do you have NBC's 75th anniversary from 02?

Wow No Clips of Growing Pains or Webster or Anything But Love with Jamie Lee Curtis i was around 14 going on 15 watching this and its a shame they dont have those clips

Does ABC's 50th Anniversary Special have any clips from McHale's Navy, That Girl, Family Feud with Richard Dawson, It's a Living!, Head of the Class, China Beach, Thirtysometing, Doogie Howser M.D., Life Goes On and Boy Meets World?

Strange--there was no special telecast honoring ABC's 60th anniversary in 2013.

@2:51:11 what was the Dark Shadows moment? I've only recently discovered this classic TV show.

Where's the Brady Bunch reunion in ABC's 50th Anniversary Celebration? BTW, is that the complete video?

Request: Tostitos Fiesta Bowl 2003

Where was the 70th last year?

Do you by any chance have the NBC 75th anniversary special from 2002?

Was that Earle Hyman in the audience?

ABC's 50th Anniversary date is kind of wrong, it actually celebrated it's 50th anniversary in 1998. ABC made it's first televised broadcast in 1948.

RIP Ali

Screw the numerous commercials , not worth wasting time to watch

Interesting that in the Happy Days family tree section having members from the 3 other shows, they didn't manage to get either Robin Williams or Pam Dawber to make an appearance on behalf of the Mork & Mindy branch...both could've been busy of course, but on reflection, both of them were pretty p.o.'ed with ABC for how they jerked the show around and dealt with them, so maybe its not too surprising.

Usually they skip the commercials when they post a tv show on youtube. Why didn't they do it this time?

Abc no # 1 Show
