This is a great feel-good promo for the 1989 NBC fall season. Includes Carson, Bob Hope, Cosby, Leno and cast from Golden Girls, Hunter, Night Court, etc.

I was 12 in 1989 and television back then was much better than it is today. Atleast back then program creators had some imagine and created shows that were about something. I miss the family sitcoms and even cop and action shows and primetime soaps.

Cosby truly ruled the network back then. Count how many times at least one of the characters is in the whole promo.

By then, I believe Cheers was the second-highest rated series on the network, so, it's strange that no one in the cast was featured in this. Also, Late Night with David Letterman was nowhere in sight, but, I feel like this is something Dave would've hated doing. He's featured in promos like this for previous seasons and he comes off as resenting having to be there.

While much of this is cheese-extreme, I do like how the normally serious, straight-laced Robert Stack pokes fun at himself in this. Man I miss "Unsolved Mysteries"! That creepy theme, the narration by Stack, and the spooky true stories were q real highlight of my week.

It's my understanding ... Bob Bibb and Lewis Goldstein are responsible for the NBC COME ON HOME promotion. They also did network promotions for FOX and WB. I had an opportunity to speak with both of them on the phone after a letter to the FOX network got their attention and they made a phone call to me! I just LOVE these network jingles!!

This was an interesting period in NBC history, while the network was still on top. Cheers (which we didn't see much of in this promo), Golden Girls, and Cosby were still going strong. Seinfeld had premiered over the summer, but was off to a rocky start. Law & Order was a year away. Other hits like Mad About You, Frasier, Friends, and ER wouldn't appear for a couple more years.

This NBC fall 1989 promo starts w/Winston-Salem,NC-born(8/14/56) Jackée Harry. Start of this TV season coincided w/my 1st semester as a college student. Johnny Carson & successor Jay Leno show up :10 secs in, hardly foretelling how fierce the late night wars would become. Unrelated: Rene(Shannen Doherty)as band leader for “Tonight Show” host Shannon(Ben Affleck), who hosts the show despite living in his parent’s house in Kevin Smith’s “Mall Rats”(1995); Shanice on Leno’s first “Tonight”(5/25/92)
