Even TV40 (NBC 40) in Atlantic City/ Wildwood had one during this time. However, it was just a generic network version promoting one of their old local shows called "Let's Talk Antiques". I got to see it a few years ago when I worked there.

For the fans of this campaign, the spin offs used abroad. In 1984, Australia's Channel Seven, used the same slogan and a similar song to this campaign: /watch?v=yF78K-3QqOg In Brazil, SBT made the very same campaign in 1987. The lyrics, of couse, are in Portuguese: /watch?v=yF78K-3QqOg The slogan is a little bit different but the music got the same result. Enjoy!
