    OMG this sorta shows 'the making of' that commercial. The regular commercial has been floating around social media for a while but I've never seen the full edit the commercial with the build up to the commercial itself. Funny, social media replies often say "its clear the stars were not all there at the same time", but this video clearly indicates that they were all there. And rehearsed together for a long time before it was filmed. Neat. And yeah they certainly do not make anything like this anymore.. sigh

    ABC had only one more year as the #1 network before NBC made the comeback of the century and reigned supreme for almost the next two decades. And this is probably my least favorite fall promo from ABC in my lifetime (I was born in 1974). Don't have a problem with the dancing or any of the actors.
