Come Home to NBC 1987

Two spots from the Come Home To NBC campaign from 1987, filled with classic logos.

[@angelmannj]

sad part is you will never see commercials like this where all stars for the network come together for the common cause. miss those network specials of the 80's too.

[@DrLennox]

Jackee can really sing, her higher notes sound pretty good. And Phylicia sings great here too, I like her voice.

[@zshaw7549]

I miss the old NBC. 227, Golden Girls on Saturday Nights. The Cosby Show on Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. NBC needs more quality programming.

[@newsboysrok]

John Larroquette is nothing short of amazing. Even in that nanosecond clip.

[@tgreer72]

I like how it makes you feel happy...silly, probably...featuring all or most of their shows was classic of the day....

[@Jantv81]

What were your favorite shows from 1987? Mine included: Family Ties, ALF, Night Court, The Cosby Show, Cheers, Empty Nest, St. Elsewhere, Facts of Life, and the Golden Girls and oh can't forget LA LAW

[@PaulGilmore44]

Wow talk about bringing back memories

[@islandblader]

My birth year. 34 years ago. A teenaged Malcolm Jamal Warner driving, hes now 50 almost 51....wow. Phylicia Rashad isn't even 40 y/o here, shes now 73 and looking the damn same.

[@doublebanana-de3dt]

Definitely. One of my favourite promos! The voice the uplift the lighting and nod to history

[@JimmySand9]

"You have only one second to play a sleazeball". You're right, he can deliver.

[@zshaw7549]

I miss growing up the 80's and 90's. What is going on with NBC? When they took off the Cosby Show, A Different World, Cheers, Friends, etc.... The whole station went downhill.

[@Awesoman]

Alf hanging out with Bob Hope. I've seen it all now.

[@Toywithme200]

michael j. fox!!!!! oh, those were the days!

[@dannysimion]

Heck yeah. If I walked through the doors and greeted by the golden girls, you know I’m gonna enjoy some cheesecake with them!

[@JHollowayNetwork]

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

[@arhuxtable]

Oh my God! Back in the 70's she was heard on the phonograph record and her voice is the one singing here. My heart just raced and pounded with passion just hearing this. That's what would exactly happen if she were within range of me. I just love her to death!

[@jwsu2003]

They should've used Tisha Campbell to represent Rags to Riches in these promos. She would've been perfect with her talent. Maybe the show would've lasted longer.

[@markelijio6012]

Not anymore.

[@reneen1018]

"Looking through a telescope" LOL. yes, he's great.

[@jacobfarmer4062]

Why is tv not fun anymore like this ???

[@Jantv81]

@Nineteen80s29 Jackee Harry, the Cosby kids, the Golden Girls- Betty White, Rue and Bea Arthur, Bob Hope, Alf, Harry Hamlin, Kim Fields, Michael J. Fox, - all the best and that includes Johnny Carson.

[@islandblader]

Real TV.

[@reneen1018]

It's weird to think that I was probably just barely one-year-old when this promo came out, and yet I know most of the characters/actors shown here because I watch some of these shows now. How many shows that air now will also be watched by my kids? It's not looking so good, lol.

[@Toywithme200]

@StoneCold75 no wonder he was ADORABLE!!!!!!

[@thisisalogochannel4953]

I swear when I heard the start I thought I was about to here the Be There promo...

[@kachoo2135]

Me, too

[@islandblader]

With values/morals.

[@Fieldsfangirl28]

awesome spots for NBC back in the day.... Jackee' can sing and so can Phylicia has a great voice ...!! I would love to see a revamp of both Jackee' s and Phylicia's ad spots but get someone who can really wail when they sing like Jennifer Hudson i can so see her singing this ad campaign anthem. lol

[@MoreTashevia]

Yehp ! My T.V. Mommey Clair Huxtable Looks Great !

[@VaultMasterDBT]

I don't think that person was clueless to the fact that he was on Family Ties, or to Family Ties itself..

[@molinalong3468]

Spitting image ( season 5) same name of Britain puppets show Channel by NBC Voiced by Michael Landon as himself as puppet Jerry Nelson as Ronald Reagan puppet Tony Randall as himself as puppet

[@jwilliams7554]

Does anyone know what show those people are from on 0:40 and 0:54 ?

[@bernietheobscure]

J Williams I think I figured it out. The two dancing are Michael Talbott (Det. Stan Switek, "Miami Vice") and Jill Eikenberry (Ann Kelsey, "LA Law"). That's Olivia Brown (Det. Trudy Joplin, "Miami Vice") behind the chair. Ed Begley Jr (Dr. Victor Ehrlich, "St Elsewhere") is sitting in the chair, and that's Stephen Furst (Dr. Eliot Axelrod, "St. Elsewhere") under the table. I think that's right. :-)

[@jwilliams7554]

Amber Haynes Wow thanks. I didn't watch those dramas back then. So I assumed they were all from some short lived sitcom the way they were portrayed. Plus I didn't think they would mix so many people from different shows in one scene like that! NBC really emphasized themselves as one big family back then.

[@bernietheobscure]

J Williams No problem! It's funny, I was too young to watch those shows when they first aired. But I remember these campaigns. They were devoted!

[@Raagiol]

@StoneCold75 Michael J Fox had a show on NBC called "Family Ties" It was a hit show on NBC and ran from 1982-1989. That's why he was in this NBC promo, because he was a star on that hit NBC show. The only reason he got the role in Back to the Future was because of the show.

[@StoneCold75]

Wow they were really milking Michael J Fox's Back to the Future star power in these promos

[@detectivemask]

I believe he was already doing the sitcom "Family Ties" (and becoming its breakout star) during this time.

[@FomorViceroy]

@@detectivemask He had done Teen Wolf, Back to the Future and Secret of My Success by this point.

[@Nineteen80s29]

At 0:39 I recognize Ed Begley Jr. and Stephen Furst from St. Elsewhere, and Michael Talbott from Miami Vice, but who are the ladies? I think one of them is Trudy from Miami Vice but am not positive.

[@FaytLinegod]

Yeah, that was Olivia Brown, but I didn't recognize the blonde.

[@sherryhannah498]

it not crap that show good it helps people lose weight and get healthy
