This is when TV was worth watching

Nice to see KITT live in person too..aka William Daniels.

I swear Nell Carter was such an incredibly gifted singer and dancer. It didn't matter that she was thicker, she could move with the best of them. Hard to believe she's been gone for 20 years now. RIP Nell.

​@@toddanthony6664 Right.

To call Nell Carter talented would be an understatement. This performance should've won her an Emmy for Best Individual Performance in a Variety Special. The same award Whitney Houston won for her 1986 Grammy performance. This performance outshines anything that Whitney's formidable vocals could flashlight. Nell gives it all combining outstanding, pitch perfect & pristine vocals, high energy choreo all the while look glamorous and classy. Wow! Simply wow.

It's great to finally see a clear version of Nell's number at the end of this. One thing I noticed is when Nell calls the cast of Cheers to stand, Kelsey Grammer is among them. That was his first season playing Dr. Frasier Crane.

Thanks for this upload brings back so many childhood memories and innocence. Loved being an 80s kids!!

Wow. What a flashback..... Alfonso, twice in the intro. Too good. I'll have to watch the rest of this in the morning. Have a great weekend everyone

Norm and cliff standing in was great!!!

42:58 mark has 3 stars of the TV series Knight rider: William Daniels, David Hasselhoff, and the late great Edward Mullhare all together on the same stage. It's very rare to see David Hasslehoff and William Daniels together who played the voice of kitt.

Loved loved this video !! Loved seeing my favorite television family the cast of Knight Rider ❤!!

18:18 and 35: 45 for Knight rider.

Cool. I seem to somewhat remember this. Lot of star power present that night

Watched this in 84 when its was live fun then fun now!

It's amazing how many of those talented people are no longer with us. May they all rest in peace and thank you for the memories.

Oh this was a treat for me! I was almost 13 when this aired and NBC ruled at this time!!

Wow what a show. I used to watch so many American shows & still enjoy them now.

Great special NBC Let,s bring back The 1980s and decades before

Let,s bring back the 80s no more covid or reality shows

Excellent!

That was a cool to see them old shows .If you guys find more of these play them.

From the sketch at 18.58, producers developed the idea of Golden Girls lately

Amazing performances by Alfonso Ribeiro, Phylicia Rashad, and especially Nell Carter! I love how during the NBC women tribute, they showed action shots of Jane Badler, including the infamous eating the rodent on V!!

Dick Clark i always liked him RIP Dick And Ed Mcmahon

I remember this like it was yesterday!

Great Show of shows of an awesome era and 80s everything wonderful and it's stars new and old shot

I miss this looking at the stars wondering what they are like in real life nothing like today these are the stars I grew up seeing on tv so classy elegant true legends

They rolled out some amazing series in 84 which carried NBC for a long time and shows like Partners in Crime fell by the wayside quickly even after a hard push by Tartikoff! I was pretty disappointed with V the series after how good both mini series were but of course my 11 year old self watched every episode faithfully until it was cancelled!

Here in Australia, Channel Seven used the same network jingle to the NBC one - "Seven Hey! Let's All Be There". We're often not very good at coming up with original stuff down here...

interesting video thank you

NBC you need to get it together

Shame no one shouted ‘Norm!’

V and Knight Rider 👍👍

Love 80s vibe.

I know William Daniels never actually got to make any on screen cameos in Knight Rider, but has he ever got to ride in a KITT car? Either a TV used KITT car or a KITT replica?

Nell Carter. What an amazing singer!

Alfonso Ribiero don’t get enough credit for his talent.

Kari Michaelsen from _Gimme a Break!_ was right. _Punky Brewster_ is now a household name.

1985 is like greatest year ever lol

NBC you guys need to get it together please do so I used to love you guys be the network I once loved

This is the infamous one with Doris Robert's and Selma Diamond that lead to the Golden Girls

45:42 People forget Erin Gray was on TV for YEARS after Buck Rogers. Six years of SIlver Spoons. But I asked her at a con what autograph people chase her down on the sidewalk for and she says it's always Buck Rogers. I believe the difference was in syndication and endless reruns. Sci Fi channel put Buck in Prime Time in the 90s for god sake.

Hard to believe was 40 years ago.

I love the women of NBC tribute with Telma Hopkins, Tina Yothers, Kim Fields, Phylicia Rashad and Stepfanie Kramer. It's amazing. And BTW, I came here for Fred Dryer, Stepfanie Kramer, Kim Fields, Tina Yothers, Kari Michaelsen and Soleil Moon Frye.

Another part to my dream of the singer Crystal Gayle was I won every award show in the 70s and 80s shows on NBC Part of that dream was that Crystal sang every TV theme song for our shows from 1971 up to 1990 I won best producer director and star Ms. Crystal Gayle was with me I won every award there was

Jason Bateman is a legend!

80's was so cool! It was a time of some great shows something good on every night. 🌙 Saturday Morning Cartoons. They don't make shows like these anymore. TV ain't what it used to be. Great video games & the latest electronics. The arrival of the Boom Box. Arrival of the Video Rental. Be kind rewind $1 everyday your late a $1 if you didn't rewind! I loved TV back then!

As great as the 80s were, we forget how many of those series were extinct and buried only a few years later. The 80s weren't consistent, they were just QUALITY.

Actually, it's Calletano.

What is Nell singing at the end when it sounds like "or did you ever call your friend up (?????)) just to say he's gonna hit a home run soon". It sounds like "In the 7th" (like 7th inning) or "On the sabbath"...

Where are the conversations regarding Nell's breathtakingly jaw dropping finale performance?

Edward Mulhare did the ear thing to signal his family at 18:27

What a different era ! i was just 14yrs old and saw all of this through the rose colored lens of youth ...now looking back at 53yrs old other then the nostalgia and the actors that i still really like (living or gone) its doesn't hold up entertainment wise..its almost like pro wrestling with the actors kinda still half character ..the obvious canned laughter and applause in side a big studio using a award show type format ..oh yeah and the PURE CHEESE lol ..but that was how they sold network tv back then .(with just 3 networks)...it seems since reality shows became the norm people just would never go for this kind format today ..not to mention tv now (like all other media) has become so corporately BLAND and politically correct (and socially PREACHY) ..thats the one thing i did enjoy about re watching this its ALL about the business nothing about anybody's agenda or social platform .....a special like this could never get aired now without many changes .

the 80's was the best

Do you have the 1985 special as well?

A few of those new 84 shows would do pretty good (Vice , Hunter ) and one would become iconic (Cosby Show) V though i LOVED it as teen ..not so much ....just one kinda crappy season ,however, the the two miniseries that proceeded (especially the first 2 part one) still hold up pretty good once you get past dated way 80s tv was produced, written and acted watching in from 21st century perspective )

Back when network television meant something

Why don’t they do this anymore? This could be interesting to do now actually

Pretty sure Micheal Ironside was out of there once he did the stage cast call thing ..lol...i heard him say in a interview stuff like that is not a part of the acting business he enjoys at all ...pretty sure there more then few that dont enjoy that part

Landon had to make it about himself. On Bonanza, he wore lifts in his shoes and a sock in his pants to make up for his small stature.
