the 1987 NBC Sunday Night at the Movies open for the television film "Down Payment on Murder"

[@elsplace896]

I loved those nights.

[@derp8575]

My parents were 36 years old in 1987. Now I'm 36. Holy crap take me back please!!!

[@PJBovio]

FANTASTIC theme!! NBC was back on track as an ace station in the 80s after being on the bottom of the barrel throughout most of the 70s.

[@ericsamuelson5656]

I miss my childhood way too much. Good times from WICZ Ch 40 Binghamton growing up in Deposit, New York.

[@rhomeo1]

Takes me back to when I was a kid.

[@rockd3021]

David Curlin Well. That’s good.

[@amcstudio30]

[@angrybirdsfan2003]

This was used from the fall 1987 - 1991 seasons respectively.

[@graphicdesigner5188]

Remembered this intro back in the day from NBC.

[@Joshua28891]

This is where I first saw star wars as a kid

[@chrisnapolion6967]

Bring this back nbc

[@INFERNO95]

This era of TV is never coming back.

[@amcstudio30]

such a classic promo

[@brooklynbabe7896]

Absolutely classic

[@amcstudio30]

I remember this film from that time

[@howsCecilie1991]

OMG - Young David Morse!

[@bobbykiefer4306]

Such good graphics for 1987.

[@lonewulf44]

Is there any feeling like Nostalgia ... sigh ...

[@chaddelk3605]

I remember this movie

[@amcstudio30]

and I remember this movie

[@StarfyNX]

[@amcstudio30]

what happen to thease days. this was time when pepole went home and watch a good movie and not got in trouble on the streets

[@claypf4795]

Anyone know if that animation was PDI or Cranston/Csuri?

[@DiarraHarris]

Down payment on murder? So murder can be done in installments?

[@MrCraigblaze]

from turn back the clock?

[@Cyclops236]

@Aussiekid237 You're exactly right it too is on youtube but I wish other stations thought before they used the same bumpers that other stations had. Soap operas are a whole different story and if you type down zeit der sehnsucht you'll see the kind of Days of our Lives opening that I love the most.

[@derektheproducer]

Reminds me when I was a kid..

[@derp8575]

This is how the big bang happened.

[@MrCraigblaze]

Do you have the clip with connie sellica?

[@fromthesidelines]

When she filmed her "shower scenes", Connie wasn't "nude". When you have an entire production crew watching your every move while being filmed, NATURALLY you'd want to be a little more discreet about what you're wearing...or NOT wearing, 'chubwright'.

[@EricEbac22]

What true story was this movie based on? Does anyone know?

[@nildaferrer]

The real people involved were Frederick E. Penney and his wife Susan. He did his time (38 months from a six year prison sentence) and was released. The trial took place back in 1984.

[@sajjadnasir862]

[@judy9521]

[@sajjadnasir862]

Corey Levine i mean an actual movie made for tv

[@79dbh]

can you add commercial breaks?

[@slipknot789able]

i remember that one guy from disturbia the one that said we're not dealing with a stable person here i guess the same thing could have been said about him in disturbia

[@EricEbac22]

That was David Morse, who, during that time, was on "St. Elsewhere"; in 1998, he was cast to play Brutus "Brutal" Howell, a prison guard in the movie adaptation of "The Green Mile".

[@robatsea2009]

@79dbh I do when I find ones of particular interest

[@79dbh]

i saw this movie

[@amcstudio30]

I hate nbc don't do this anymore

[@graphicdesigner5188]

They're showing some movies once in awhile now. They just showed neighbors and Ted months ago.

[@Matthewsmollen4]

I would like NBC to show movies more often again.

[@mrtrick002]

Jackie Treehorn treats objects like women, man.

[@radix9523]

No, there isn't :(

[@scottytagle7568]

CBS and ABC movie themes were so much better

[@robatsea2009]

Sorry, no.
