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!

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.

Golden Girls AND Facts of Life... those were the days!

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.

awesome now i've got it stuck in my head

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").

OMG I am SO glad you uploaded this. ^^

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!

Thanks for this higher quality video!

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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...

Those were the days…

awesome commercial

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'

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

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

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

Quem Procura... Acha Aqui! 🇧🇷SBT🍷🗿📺📡

Two men 0:34

RIP Estelle Getty

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

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

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

@abehammy that is Richard Moll

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"?

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

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

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.

1:08 I was BARELY able to tell that was the N in the BG...

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

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

I see Connie Chung here.

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

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.

THE YEAR THEY CANCELLED HILL STREET BLUES AND THE A TEAM

Justine Bateman looks beautiful in this promo. How great was Family Ties

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

Who is the guy falling of the roof at the end at 2:30 ?

Hunter i mean

In Brazil SBT TV made a similar promo with the same music. But, in Portuguese, of course. Funny to check it out. /watch?v=IWi07YUs2NQ

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

Who's the NBC/Disney announcer's name, anybody..?

@rangerdave1973 Just an FYI...NBC owns USA network

I know that. But thanks anyway.

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

maybe they thought that it would be cool

Who's the woman at 0:15?

1:35-1:39, 2:00-2:03, 2:33-2:34 Is that Fred Travelena?

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

The only thing that ruins this promo is...Jay Leno. Who calls affiliates and spreads rumors about Johnny's retirement? Jay Leno!

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.

Porno?

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.

@johnnyafairbanks even USA network has better stuff than NBC

One of the Worst NBC Fall Show Promos.
