CBS and NBC Movie Opens - 1980s 

Wow, what a clear, crisp copy!

The CBS movie intros....the moment when you knew quality TV was about to start. Memories galore!

The transfer was processed through a time base corrector to stabilize the off-tape signal and properly adjust video levels.

I just can't get enough of movie openings, bumpers and station promos. I miss the days when there were only three channels, PBS and UHF on the dial. Cable was not even a thought and stations had some great introductions to specials and shows.

I love the "Let's All Be There" jingle so much.

Man this brings me back to my elementary school days. My family and I have one of those movie nights where we can just sit down and watch a goid movie. At least the networks take their time for the viewer to get in the mood. Thank you Vintage Television for getting my memories back.

I miss these intros!!

Back in the day when movies were huge and meant something

Now that's what i call a classic!

The intro's to NBC's "Saturday Night at The Movies" was the all-time best. In the very early 60's, the 'lightened marquee' of a movie theater harkened to a great film about to be shown. I distinctly remember the intro.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="72">1:12</a> brings back memories of those Friday nights (or a weeknight before a school holiday) when I was a kid in grade school staying up late & watching TV with my folks & brother. They played all sorts of movies and other shows for CBS Late Night from what I remember--good times.

Stunning work. I've never seen these look so good. Fantastic transfer!

GREAT VIDEO! LOVED IT! Great memories for me as a kid growing up. Loved Movie nights! NBC was amazing and so was CBS. In my early 20's for the 2000 election. What a night that was lol ;)

These would have been SO expensive... Now I can do them on my laptop.

Brings back some great memories!

WOW! Back from the days when the TV networks didn't feel the need to cram idiotic commercials into every. split. second. of broadcasting! When they'd take the time to get the viewer into the mood for the upcoming movie. When a TV program's ending credits took longer then 15 seconds and actually filled the entire screen instead of being crammed into a one-inch bar at the bottom of the screen while another stupid commercial would be thrown up at us. It is no wonder at all that my wife and I stopped watching broadcast or cable TV ten years ago.

Awesome quality! Thanks for sharing!

This takes me back to childhood

OMG! This brings back so many great memories! Thank you so much for this! I look forward to seeing more of your videos! You just earned a new subscriber! :)

The NBC open was us.................youth!

Much of the PDI material (CBS Movie Open for sure) animated by Glen Entis.

I like the NBC portion of this video

wow this looks good

why dont they bring these bumpers back?

they should bring this back

THe CBS @ <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="72">1:12</a> gave instant chills

@Amit Divecha, one hour after prime time ended. Typically after that night's local news & some other 30-minute show, such as I Love Lucy, or something like that.

CBS had the best music, AND Salem's Lot.

Memories.

Back in the days when I was a young man and having $150. to $200. in your pocket on a Friday meant you was in for a really nice weekend. Plus, those were the final years when FM-radio (R&B stations) really was FM-radio, before it later became AM in stereo.

Pretty nice video quality here. Are these transferred from VHS?

Reminds me of the glory days.

What time did CBS air it's late night movies?
