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.

Jackee Harry provided her own vocals in this promo!

NBC was gold from 1984 until the rest of the decade. No one could touch it!

well Dynasty was the number one show in 1985 if that counts as gold

the catchiest promo jingle in the history of utter mankind

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.

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").

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!

@@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.

awesome now i've got it stuck in my head

OMG I am SO glad you uploaded this. ^^

Leno was the Monday host of The Tonight Show from 1987 to 1992.

This promo is the only time I've ever seen Tom Brokaw smile.

omg the quick scenes of deidre hall. iconic queen of the 80s LET'S. BE. REAL.

Malcolm, Tempestt, And Phylicia ! They Had The Huxtables In Everything In Them 80's!

Celebrating 90 colorful years! Come home to NBC!

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.

Thanks for this higher quality video!

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!

Fantastic! I hear they don't make promos like this any more in America, but over here in Britain they NEVER made them like this...

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.

Seven Network Australia used parts of the promo for the "Let's Celebrate '88" campaign.

awesome commercial

Those were the days…

The cgi was so relevant, even in the late '80s

Existe aqui no Brasil uma vinheta como essa com o nome "Vem que é Bom pro Sbt"

This promo inspiration to SBT in 1990, in promo 'Vem que é bom'

No, that would be Howie Mandel. He was on St. Elsewhere at the time.

Come Home to TV-11, WLUK-TV, Green Bay/Appleton/Fox Cities, Wisconsin (now a FOX affiliate)

in 1988, Seven Network Australia, copied the scenes from the promo for the Let's Celebrate '88 campaign.

RIP Estelle Getty

Guess the new Tonight Show is moving back to its original home: New York, NY.

@abehammy that is Richard Moll

@irrit8tion duh i almost forgot....well maybe they need to put some of those USA shows on NBC

Fun Fact: Markie Post was pregnant when this was filmed in Summer 1987. That’s why they have Mindy Cohn walking in front of her at 1:45

vin scully in his old fordham days form @ 2:43

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"?

I said the same thing to myself....Beleive that's the woman from Spencer for Hire, no?

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.

How did my nbc affiliate to air a star wars movie?

BR version: Vem Que é Bom - SBT (1990)

2:25 wasn't that clip also in the 1986 promo?

I see Connie Chung here.

SBT in Brazil made a version of this promo, just for curiosity: /watch?v=IWi07YUs2NQ In Brazil, it's called Vem Que É Bom, from 1990.

Who's that actress dancing with Malcolm Jamal Warner dancing with? Tempestt Bledsoe?Look on 0:41

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?

Howie Mandel with a full head of HAIR?? Now, that's OLD.

why did they opt for ALF to say "YEAH!" over the woman's voice at the end. Just weird.

I know that. But thanks anyway.

Who's is the Jewish looking woman in the car at 1:55? She looks very familiar...

I said it was one of the worst promos. Not that the shows were'nt good. READ, something and understand it before you make an accusation without merit.

One of the Worst NBC Fall Show Promos.

@johnnyafairbanks even USA network has better stuff than NBC
