NBC should have brought this song back each year. I wish we could have seen the cast of Friends, Seinfeld, Fresh Prince of Belair, The Office, Park and Rec, 30 rock, Community, Jimmy Fallon, etc. do this song.

I know it’d have have great to see Kelsey as he transitioned from Cheers to Frasier. But you know that each year they’d have to modify the lyrics to cater to the hit shows of that year. For example “only on NBC, Jerry is always there for you…” (a play on on both Seinfeld and Friends)

But in the next few years span, we'd get the Bird in a bad way - NBC moving away from Saturday morning cartoons and daytime game shows as well as Michael Landon was a rotten fowl play.
1988-89 was a great season for NBC with the Summer Olympics starting it off but it was also one of major transition. By the Summer of 1989 NBC would cancel iconic 80’s shows Family Ties and Miami Vice, they would cancel almost their entire powerhouse daytime game show lineup including Wheel of Fortune, their Saturday morning lineup was beginning to gear more toward teens, and Major League Baseball’s Game of the Week would be on its final innings.

Miami Vice was definitely canceled due to declining popularity/ratings, but in the case of Family Ties, I believe it was simply decided by Gary David Goldberg to retire the series after season 7. If he had wanted to continue the show, I'm confident that NBC would have renewed it in 1989.

Plus, HUNTER was back for a 5th season and not only was it in the Top 30 for the 3rd straight season, but it finally CRACKED the Nielsen Ratings Top 20 and it was the only season in which the late George Geiger Producer of Scarecrow and Mrs. King and a Former Writer for the Captain and Tennille Variety Show took over as Executive Producer of HUNTER after Roy Huggins (who saved the show from cancellation) stepped down as Executive Producer after 3 successful seasons

No wonder NBC was number 1 in 1988. There were big stars on NBC in 1988: Bill Cosby, Johnny Carson, David Letterman, Jay Leno, Micheal J Fox Betty White, Phylisa Rashad, Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, Ted Danson, John Ratsenberg, Tom Brokaw, Sherman Hemsley, Michael Landon and ALF. The also host the 3 big sports events, the olympics, the Super Bowl, and the World Series.

She's the reason for the success of HUNTER, after she left in 1990, season 7 still had Fred Dryer & Charles Hallahan, but there was no Stepfanie For 5 seasons on Saturday Nights, the show was in the Top 40 and with Charles Hallahan, the show was in the Top 30 for 4 straight seasons (2 straight in the Top 25 and Season 5 in the Top 20) Darlanne Fluegel and Lauren Lane (later of The Nanny) are talented in their own right, but when it comes to HUNTER, they weren't Stepfanie Kramer, even Fred said himself on Entertainment This Week during the Fall '90 Preview that no one can replace Stepfanie Kramer and glad that he acknowledge that You can have the star of the show and the anchor of the show, but none of it matters if you don't have the X-Factor, The Show Stealer, the Blasting Cap That's what Stepfanie Kramer was on the show, she stole the show, she was the X-Factor and she was the blasting cap Glad to see that Fred & Stepfanie are still close friends after all these years, especially when they reunited for 2 HUNTER Reunion Movies and a short-lived revival
