In TV parlance, 'Coaster', the word "bumper" means a brief five or ten second "transition" from one portion of a program to another. One of the most famous was NBC's "Peacock", originally shown before the start of their programs during the 1960's- "The following program is brought to you in 'Living Color'...on NBC". Sitcoms sometimes had a "bumper" before the last commercial break {"'WKRP IN CINCINNATI' will be back...after this"; "'THE ODD COUPLE' will continue in a moment", and so on}.
I didn't grow up with the neat system of old TV programming, and, sadly, grew up with the useless crap people throw at TV screens today. What's a bumper?
Where is the ABC bumper?
