[DocJerky]

Do you have the Sunday Disney Night at the Movies? I remember watching Fuzzbucket and Davey Crocket.

[DocJerky]

@DocJerky n/m I looked up Fuzzbucket and found it!!!

I just added a ABC movie intro clip and combined it with different music. Was the music on mine from what year? it is slightly different. I think the video portion of this was from you.

[xlogold]

thanks for adding that clip. it sounds like the ending of the abc movie presentation, but I might be wrong, maybe it is just an alternate version. The music on yours is from the 1987-88 season.

Did ABC or any other network aired Friday The 13th Movies?

[leandar]

I don't think they did, I think they were too graphic for network broadcast. They were all over HBO and channels like that though, obviously.

I remember this graphic and I remember not being as big a fan of it as I was the earlier ones. I still think that way. But nevertheless, thanks for the post cause it still brings back memories.

USA used to air marathons in the 90's. FOX used to show them on weekends back in the day.

Great stuff, but nothing tops the memorable '82 intro.

[SPACEACE76]

I agree,the star tunnel ruled!

[e521soediv]

love that theme music

[rtivey01]

therte were three circles be cause abc the three letters look round

[Shediac]

man i love late 80's graphics, very original. i wished they still had them.

[Reed488]

I do not think that I (and I am sure others don't either) give enough credit to the fact that CGI was so good, so long ago.

[jakestooge34]

This intro was used up until 1990, I believe.

[skystarless]

Pretty impressive-looking CGI. I'm not a big fan of the music used, though.

ABC in its golden era. This theme has Superman, Splash, Poltergeist, and Indiana Jones written all over it! Just beautiful! Thanks for posting the entire intro because that Star Trek 3 promo (the 10-second clip that you mentioned), had me wanting more. :)

[Urvy1A]

And Ghostbusters

[CitySon]

That too! One of my all-time favorite movies.

Been hoping to see this again, every version I had was clipped. Great animation for the time, with the formation of the abc logo and the glass rectangles. The 80s were a great era for movie intros. Good stuff.

Actuually, the theme music changed in the late summer/early fall of 1988, and the second theme ran through the spring of 1990. The theme heard here was a variation of the 1987 Something's Happening campaign, and when new music was introduced for "SH '88", this piece had to go.

[xlogold]

Thanks I will be sure to add that in the details of the video.

[VaultMasterDBT]

Actually, the theme music was changed by the late summer/early fall of 1988, and that version ran through the spring of 1990. The theme music here was a variation of the 1987 Something's Happening campaign, and since different music was used for "SH '88", the movie version had to go.

[tvnutboy]

Which actually seems kind of shortsighted for them to do since NBC held on to their "Come Home '87" variant for a movie theme for 4 years, even after campaigns changed.

[xlogold]

NBC even ran the 1984-86 movie opening after the logo was changed.

[fanotv]

That's right. NBC ran the 1984 open into late 1987! I wish ABC kept the original 1987 music for this open all the way until 1990, as the music introduced in 1988 wasn't so good.
