All the stars of the ABC shows gather around on a backlot to spruce up the neighborhood, painting with special ABC paint.

This is a great piece of history. It's the first couple of minutes from The Today Show at its height in 1987. It's much more intelligent and watchable than the garbage they put on the show now. Sorry...but the thought of seeing hyper, screaming people behind a police barricade doesn't appeal to me at 7AM.

The Nashville Symphony Orchestra accompanied the voice of "Hello," Florence Warner, in this piece...6 minutes of full-orchestral music. She's got quite a nose! A good example of the kind of community-oriented programming that is hard to find today.

One of the better songs to come out of the CBS promo department. Nice DVE effects too...especially when you consider it was done in-house.

Remember, this was 1977, and this is impressive by today's standards. Not a lot of computers involved, but some very crafty filmmaking at work here. 5 minutes worth of music here...

It's good to see a station with a sense of humor. This spot features bloopers from the station's newscasts and local programs intermixed with standard promotional footage. The shot of always-collected anchor Stan Atkinson kissing his mirror in vain is a classic Sacramentans will enjoy seeing.

This Is My 50th Video Uploaded, Another slick production job, with your ABC stars leading a crowd of people through Times Square, Robert Guillame leading a parade through middle America, and Ted Knight in China!

They departed from featuring stars prominently in this one, opting for character actors to play the roles of people watching ABC shows throughout the day. Great music (Florence Warner has the lead) and fun to watch.

You asked for it, here it is... The campaign that launched NBC on its comeback. Unfortunately, most of the shows that premiered flopped.

Don't do a double-take. This is from 1999. Give kudos to CBS for putting out a first class spot, featuring CBS stars 'larger than life' as they stomp through skyscrapers. Great special effects.

Leisurely open to the show from the day after Thanksgiving. Bryant has the day off, so John Palmer fills the chair next to Jane Pauley.

ABC recycled this campaign for a third year...and it didn't get any better...

This is the most elaborate of the promos, featuring groundbreaking animation by Harry Marks and plenty of close-ups of your favorite stars. Even Dynasty's John Forsythe is blown away. Do not miss out on this one!

Ever wondered what happens in-studio during commercial breaks? Take a rare glimpse into the Southland's most watched news...as legends Jerry Dunphy, Harold Greene, Larry Carroll and Johnny Mountain share the studio. Not much sound, as the mics are turned off.

You can see what that looks like with Brent Musberger announcing here. This music puts John Tesh's NBA on NBC theme to shame! (although they have a similar melody)

I'm not a fan of the grunge look of the early-mid '90s...but this spot is interesting for the personal observations from CBS stars...including an annoyed Dan Rather.
