"Quem Procura Acha Aqui" - TVS Network, Brazil

[@GabrielAnimateOfficial]

Did Miami Vice aired on SBT in Brazil back in the 80s, along with some NBC shows? I think yes.

[@MarcosVinicius-jb8rv]

​@@GabrielAnimateOfficialDiferent Strokes and Punky Brewster

[@Attmay]

England is an interesting case. ITV showed *Diff'rent Strokes* (whose non-English titles are not literal translation of the English one) and *Silver Spoons* but passed on *the Facts of Life* and *Gimme A Break!* Nonetheless, the UK still saw its obesity rate rise along with the United States. Thank the people who give you breaks from TV shows in the form of advertisements.

[@Youngstown529]

It's interesting new to see how they brought all the shows together - almost saying: If you like this one, you will like all these others. The network was presented as a cohesive brand or family. Now we pick and choose with our DVRs from hundreds of channels.

[@BrianWhitney51]

When TV was worth watching. NBC was a great Network. I remember when I could watch TV with my Family and it was Wholesome entertainment. not like today's TV.

[@Attmay]

Yeah, so wholesome it created a new word that means nonconsensual sexual activity: Cosbying.

[@user-cr8dq7sc6h]

Yep. This was before all the woke garbage that became widespread in the early 2020s

[@richardcarrier9536]

A window into the '80's

[@Attmay]

It was the last decade in which we really had a common culture before everything started to become fragmented.

1985: Let's All Be There. Happy New Year From The NBC Television Network.

[@tyrese3745]

I’m surprised that The Cosby Show wasn’t among the clips of new shows that premiered that season.

[@Attmay]

Maybe they didn't have clips ready in time. That often happens with new shows. It happened with *Gimme A Break!* in 1981, as very little of the "Our Pride Is Showing" campaign material that has survived has had it. Except in that case, a strike pushed back the premieres of that and everything on the fall schedule. 1984 had no strikes. In 1982, the year of "Just Watch Us Now," there were plenty of clips of the new shows, both sitcoms and dramas. There were even two versions of the campaign, one with *Mama's Family* and one with *Taxi* after it displaced it on the fall schedule and pushed its premiere back to January 22, 1983.

[@pannoni18]

@@AttmayAnother notable show that was pushed back to midseason was found into the 1980 "Proud As A Peacock" campaign. Hill Street Blues, which didn't premiere until midseason, was also due to a writers' strike.

[@josephbernardlim4240]

At that time in the entire 1980s, NBC was the most-watched of the big three television networks in the United States which ABC was second and CBS was third until the arrival of the Fox network in 1986 and it started to snatch the ratings in the next decade.

[@videox222ify]

it was not the most watched until The Cosby Show premiered in 1984, before that it was the last of the 3 big networks

[@hamursh]

@@videox222ify You know Cosby wasn't the only one who saved NBC in 1984, Miami Vice, Punky Brewster and Night Court helped out too! I'm saying that not because of Cosby's controversy today but because there were several other shows in that lineup that year!

[@videox222ify]

@@hamursh TCS became the #1 coast to coast program almost immediately and is well documented for both saving the network and helping to keep the family sitcom which was in big trouble at that time, none of those shows you mentioned were in the top 10 or even the top 30 at least during the 1984 1985 season

[@Kianthesimpsonsfanatic2023]

Yeah, Until The Simpsons Took Over…

[@MegaJuanTrinidad]

1980-84: CBS was #1, ABC #2, NBC #3 (#4 in some affiliates). 1984: CBS #1, NBC boosted to #2, ABC dropped to #3. 1985-88 (or 89 think): NBC took the top, with CBS at #2 and ABC in #3. 1989-91: NBC kept leading, while ABC began to show signs of improvement, with the arrival of Roseanne (the lady who, in 1990, seated on the television throne once set by Cosby for six years, as it's numbers began to drop). CBS took 3rd place and then-newly-network FOX on 4th place (in some occasions, "The Simpsons", which were on Thursday nights at that time, beated both "Roseanne" and "The Cosby Show"; and "Married... With Children" became a household name on Sunday nights, beating all 3 network's Sunday night movies).

1984-85 was the season NBC climbed from 3rd to 2nd. The highest-rated shows were The Cosby Show (#3), Family Ties (#5), The A-Team (#6). The new Fall 1984 shows that returned in Fall 1985 were The Cosby Show, Highway to Heaven, Hunter, Miami Vice, Punky Brewster. Spring 1985 was the end of Diff'rent Strokes on NBC, it moved to ABC for 1985-86.

[@billydonegan3658]

Does anyone have a video from may 24th 1985 Chicago area? In between Nightly news and V the series. An NBC executive made a strange live statement about the transmitter being "sabotaged ". The video began and ended with a lude comment.

[@Attmay]

NBC set *Punky Brewster* up to fail if they refused to try it on another night. *Silver Spoons,* the show David W. Duclon left behind to do it, got four higher ratings points on a special broadcast in its original time-slot of Saturday at 8:30 PM between *The Facts of Life* and *The Golden Girls* the Saturday before Christmas 1985.

[@Attmay]

There were a lot of incidents like that. Remember the guy who hijacked the HBO signal and mooned everybody because he got tired of his cable bill going up and up and up?

[@ETSPT]

probally my uncles, aunts, or grandparents used to watch NBC

[@Attmay]

Ironically, the NBC station where I grew up around this time was perpetually in last place because the signal sucked if you didn't get cable. I taped the last three network broadcasts of *The Golden Girls* off the antenna and the rerun of the finale looked awful. I could get better reception on a CBS station from 60 miles away than I could from an NBC station that was actually in the market I lived in!

It's interesting that Channel 10 in Australia used a slightly altered version of the same song for their own promotions. Even one of the first-season episodes of "Neighbours" had one of the characters with the television on, and the song playing.

[@EamonThePhilogynistWalford]

The first season of Neighbours actually aired on the Seven Network in 1985, but it was axed and picked up by Network Ten the following year. Since Seven reworked a number of NBC promos (including "Let's All Be There"), that's probably why you saw it in the show. 🙂

[@robertcrookall5991]

@@EamonThePhilogynistWalford Yes, you're quite correct. It was the Seven promo, not the Ten one 🙂

[@EamonThePhilogynistWalford]

@@robertcrookall5991 Naturally, Perth was the exception to the initial axing at the time, since Perth didn't have a Network Ten station until NEW-10 launched in 1988. 🙂
