Things I Miss About TV part 1

It used to be the networks made a big deal out of their new fall schedules. They'd do all kinds of promotions including lavish commercials with their show's stars and upbeat jingles which would be the network's ad slogan for the year. It was corny as hell but it made the whole television experience a little more grand somehow. Of course these were the days before a million other home entertainment choices were available and people thought a new season of Happy Days was something to get excited about.


ABC 1971 "This Is The Place To Be"


CBS 1973 "The Best Is Right Here"
The Tiffany Network?? Yeah, CBS thinks it's better than you and isn't afraid to say it.


NBC 1978 "NBSee Us"
If you don't remember these shows that's because most of them were canceled by year's end. NBC was a real disaster area in the late 70's


ABC 1979 "Still The One"


CBS 1979 "Looking Good"


ABC 1982 "Come On Along"


NBC 1985 "Let's All Be There"
I remember NBC lazily just added "Let's All" to their previous year's catch phrase "Be There". I think this is when the networks stopped giving a shit about the new fall TV season.
