This is the season promo used to promote NBC's 1986-87 season, encouraging viewers to leave their everyday activities and "come home" to watch NBC.
This marked NBC's second year atop of the Nielsen ratings pedestal, a position it would hold until 1990, thanks to the ratings champ "The Cosby Show". Returning rating winners such as "Cheers", "The Golden Girls", "Family Ties", "Night Court", "St. Elsewhere", "The Facts Of Life" and "227" helped to keep the network dominant.
Series premieres this season would include "Amen", a starring vehicle/comeback vehicle for Sherman Hemsley, star of "The Jeffersons". There was "ALF", a sitcom about an alien that moves in with a suburban family. There was also "Valerie" (technically in it's second season), which starred "Mary Tyler Moore" and "Rhoda" alumnus Valerie Harper and teen idol (and NBC favorite) Jason Bateman. There was the ratings/critical darling "L.A. Law", the new series created by "Hill Street Blues" creator Steven Bochco. And finally, there was "Easy Street", a comeback vehicle for late 70s/early 80s bombshell Loni Anderson in her first sitcom since "WKRP In Cincinnati" ended in 1982.
This also was a season for farewells/cancellations, as by May 1987, three shows that helped NBC get through its' rating rut in the early Eighties: "Gimme A Break!", "Remington Steele" and "Hill Street Blues"
