I was having a conversation with someone last night talking about how my sister and I were raised watching The Cosby Show, 227 and all of the great 80's/90's sitcoms. There is still hope for NBC.
The Golden Girls, 227, The Cosby Show, A Different World., and so on. NBC was definitely a staple of my childhood. Now watching these shows as reruns are not the same as seeing them in their original airing.
Rob Mounsey and the great NBC Universal Orchestra did an awesome job on this latter. Robert Armbruster was the arranger. Leo Arnaud, Jack Elliott, Camille Fielding, Jack Hayes and Leonard Slatkin were the conductors and orchestrators. All were under the guidance of NBC Universal's Kathy Nelson. Come Home to NBC! Spot Aired Fall 1987.
@@johnnyballenatl MCA is no longer owned Universal on December 9, 1996. It was re-folded and re-named into Universal International Studios and NBC Universal beginning in the spring of 1997.

Bailey, I think 'xxxx' read very carefully, thank you. When you say the promo is badly done, that pretty much reflects on the stars themselves as well as the network. I don't know what you find inferior about it, but the production vaules are top notch and the premise is fun and lively. It really taps into the character of the actors and who they're known for portraying. If this had actually turned out to be a bad promo, i'm sure NBC's viewership would have suffered as a result.
I was wondering where the previous copy went, which had the well-known NBC/Disney announcer declaring "Come on Home to the 1987-88 season!" at the beginning. (That same poster also added localized Come Home '87 promos from KYW in Philly). Of course, the quality Tom posts them in here always take the cake!
At 1:05, that's Darth Vader and at 2:17, the scene of Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker have a lightsaber duel from Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back for the first time on NBC in 1987.
Around Spring 1987 (the campaign and promo first appeared at NBC's affiliate conventions in May 1987 before being used on air in June-July 1987, before the season started in September 1987)
Here in Brazil, a major TV station in the country called SBT (in Portuguese: "Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão") used this song for NBC to make the vignette of the station in 1990. The vignette is called "Come What is Good" (in Potuguese: "Vem Que é Bom").
isn't there another version of the video that got deleted, at the beginning had the flashing lines read "1987-88 Season" On A Purple Background. Had The Announcer Saying " Come on Home to the 1987-88 Season"?
Her brother, Jason (already a teen success playing Derek in the early two seasons of "Silver Spoons", so-so playing Matt Burton in "It's Your Move", but much more successful as David Hogan in "The Hogan Family") was also in the promo, too. And I think we all know what happened to him as of today, right?
The only thing that ruins this promo is...Jay Leno. Who calls affiliates and spreads rumors about Johnny's retirement? Jay Leno! Im Jay Leno...I'ts O.K., Im Jay Leno.
Well, since my comment some years ago, NBC has seen a resurgence thanks to Sunday Night Football and The Voice. They're still #1 with Nightly News (even without Brian Williams) and in late night, but the Today Show has fallen to #2 behind GMA.
