Back when TV was family-friendly! It makes me feel nostalgic! Anybody gave a time machine? I wanna go back to the good ol' days!
And how much worse the world has gotten since then. The 80's were amazing and always had this feeling of positivity like anything can happen a far cry from what the world is today.

It's interesting they added Laverne & Shirley's Cindy Williams to this fall promo since she was only in the first two episodes of the season. I guess they didn't want to lose any viewers
And it would appear that Cindy's solo shot was done prior to her becoming pregnant. I can't find her in any of the group shots, so the solos may have been done earlier and the group ones later in the summer. By then, Cindy had quit.

Elizabeth, I'd like to talk to you about your experience for my upcoming book where I will cover the classic ABC fall campaigns.

Watching this and realizing how many actors have passed on just makes you think about how much time has passed since this aired.
The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center makes it more obvious.
And how much worse the world has gotten since then. The 80's were amazing and always had this feeling of positivity like anything can happen a far cry from what the world is today.
0:50 “When you wanna be in great company…” gets me every time
These commercials always pumped me up for some reason! (dork I know 😂)
You weren't the only one! 😂
Ah good times. Sad that so many of those people have passed on.

WHERE WAS MY JINGLE
Share the spirit of CBS '86 is my fave...and this one🎉
CBS And NBC Both Deleted The Animated Shows In The Mid-90s.
ABC: A bland channel
CBS: Countless bad shows
NBC: Needs Bill Cosby
PBS: Pretty boring stuff.
I remember this promo...so many people now dead. I feel old! Oh well, I'm still here!
I kept looking for the cast from Taxi but this was the year they moved to NBC for the final season.
They had the best graphics and the best campaigns! ABC was dripping with GOAT!

It's bring back remembers And I was 11 year old back then
I loved watching this promo when it first aired.

The great Henry Winkler kicks off an elegant wave of joy never seen quite like this before. It’s breathtaking.
