Come Home to NBC

[@Koolazzmike]

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

[@markelijio6012]

It stays that way!

[@DouglasRickard]

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

[@islandblader]

Timeless. 1987- I graced the world that year. Hard to believe 80s music are now oldies.

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.

[@zshaw7549]

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.

[@claytonhenry1308]

I love alf

[@jorgeschannel304]

Jackee Harry provided her own vocals in this promo!

[@purplehello98]

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

[@natsirt69]

the catchiest promo jingle in the history of utter mankind

[@markelijio6012]

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.

[@johnnyballenatl]

General Electric and MCA still owned NBC and Universal respectively at the time.

[@markelijio6012]

@@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.

[@andyrose5616]

@@markelijio6012No, NBC and Universal didn’t merge until 2004.

OMG I am SO glad you uploaded this. ^^

[@bhayes06]

Thanks for this higher quality video!

[@rbt25]

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").

[@toddanthony6664]

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

[@natsirt69]

awesome now i've got it stuck in my head

[@ostrovisky]

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

[@VaultMasterDBT]

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

[@VaultMasterDBT]

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!

[@johnnysama]

Jerry Bishop was his name. He died recently. X(

[@MoreTashevia]

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

[@Jantv81]

Celebrating 90 colorful years! Come home to NBC!

[@Naminski1a]

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.

[@VaultMasterDBT]

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.

[@JHollowayNetwork]

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

[@Cindylover1969]

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...

[@MatheusVitalsrocha]

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

[@TDTam11]

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

[@chantingmammal]

Around Spring 1987 (the campaign and promo first appeared at NBC's affiliate conventions in May 1987 before being used on air in June-July 1987, before the season started in September 1987)

[@79dbh]

awesome commercial

[@odairjoseinacio4279]

Quem Procura... Acha Aqui! 🇧🇷SBT🍷🗿📺📡

Those were the days…

[@dfreitas23]

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

[@JHollowayNetwork]

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

[@JimmySand9]

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

[@natsirt69]

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

[@JHollowayNetwork]

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"?

[@Justin-Hill-1987]

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

[@nbomodel]

@abehammy that is Richard Moll

[@Dantecat0618]

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

[@rangerdave1973]

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

[@corrupt200]

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

[@thisisalogochannel4953]

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

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

[@eyeontv]

Michael J Fox

[@PTH4Fun]

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

[@Jantv81]

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

[@dbctv]

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.

[@thiagorochayt]

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

[@johnnyballenatl]

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.

[@nbomodel]

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

[@tyrese3745]

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?

[@tyrese3745]

Oh, yeah

[@gildersleevefan67]

Who's the woman at 0:15?

[@andyrose5616]

Deidre Hall. She’s best known for playing Marlena on Days of Our Lives, but at the time of this promo she was on the family drama Our House.

[@uhf001]

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

[@dbctv]

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

[@Bucs211]

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

[@irrit8tion]

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

[@JHollowayNetwork]

I see Connie Chung here.

[@CrabCityKidsTV]

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.

Howie Mandel

[@79dbh]

maybe they thought that it would be cool

[@BaileySEA]

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.

One of the Worst NBC Fall Show Promos.
