NBC Peacock Network ID "In Living Color" (1968) High Quality

[MattTheSaiyan]

The best 11 seconds of my life.

[OpiumMuseum]

Somehow I get a odd chill running up my spine when hearing this again after so many years.

[skiptor13]

To NBC: Please bring the proud peacock back. How cool it is to see this again!

[JohnFordDanceTroupe]

@skiptor13 Just be glad there's a peacock fronting the network and not an N.

[kb8urr]

I remember seeing this (or an earlier version of this) for the first time in color. the whole family gasped. I think I was about four.

[moosepie59]

I agree with every single one of you. And, it's like a warm blanket just hearing this again. Safe and warm, surrounded by my family, usually in my pajamas and ready to enjoy whatever show or special that was about to start. Sighhhhh.... hey, we should all meet for a drink! Imagine the NBC Peacock actually bringing a bunch of strangers together! Why, this damn bird could even initiate World Peace, I tell ya!! (overkill?)

[Joe49er1964]

I Love the NBC Peacock

I remember it being on before shows like I dream of Jeannie ,Laugh In, Get Smart =, And Adam 12, what a great era of TV History

[PlaneAndTVtechfan]

@Joe49er1964 and don't forget Bonanza or Wonderful World of Disney!

[corfan99]

Great call americangirl564! Of all the NBC programs of that era, you picked the one, I too, immediately imagined.

Hey anyone remember the Kraft specials?  I think they were exclusively on NBC during this era.

They used to be variety shows and their commercials were Kraft recipe promos, I'd get hungry watching some of those.

Thanks for posting this... I miss this peacock and the flute.

[dsfddsgh]

Man does that logo bring back memories.

[burger414]

This is one of my favorite logos.

[calchick82]

I remember this from my childhood!

[johnbtiger]

I'm so glad that I found this on You Tube, I remember the NBC Peacock very well and the music along with the colorful peacock.

[sxasher2]

Oh, I remember this peacock from many years ago. Thank you!

[americangirl564]

I feel like Dean Martin is starting to come on.

; )

[JayH7745]

@americangirl564 I always feel the same way! :) VERY COOL! Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime!!!!! LOL :)

[JayH7745]

@americangirl564 LOL I feel the same way every time I see this! :) GREAT MEMORIES! I miss seeing Dean Martin every week!

[Sheri451]

I guess all the rest were "Brought to you in dead black and white"

[alexisdiva9]

@Sheri451

I agree!  hahaha!

[iamnaughty123]

Hows about Bonanza or Walt disney?

[rexxdexx]

NBC brought this this back but with

The chimes and current logo

As part of the more colorful slogan

[CraigFoye80]

"Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In"

[TheWhatsinaname]

@CraigFoye80 Yeah, being 4 or 5 years old at the time, "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" on Monday nights is the show that I remember this peacock was on before it started. Whenever this peacock started at 8 pm EST (we were in the Tampa Bay area of Florida) on Monday nights I knew I'd be going to the party and visiting with the "sock-it-to-me" girl, Judy Carne.

[jimbobubbadj]

I remember this before "Voyage to the bottom of the Sea" and "Star Trek"

[fromthesidelines]

This "Living Color" bumper, known as the "Laramie Peacock" (because it was initially used on "LARAMIE" in the fall of 1962), was regularly seen, before the start of virtually every NBC color program [includng "THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JOHNNY CARSON"], until 1970 (a shortened version was used during the 1969-'70 season). Mel Brandt is the NBC staff announcer giving the disclaimer...

[1soniccool]

this logo is on Conan's show the logo was on there

[Terrorcowboy]

im so angry because nobody who is out from usa can watch shows from hulu's site...(its streamed only within united states)X(

[neopia9]

They should do something like this for programs shot in HD.

[ma55aracin9]

"The following program[or sports broadcast]is brought to you in high definition widescreen format.....on NBC!"

[nubbie1944]

This was actually shown before the first Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien in HD.

[MrXalexer]

@neopia9 This is HD(I think) so this is prefect to make a HD remix.

[TimelordR]

@neopia9 Who wants to see "The Biggest Loser" in HD anyway?

[Satizfacktion]

@neopia9 Saturday Night Live, in living High Definition on NBC! LOL

[redmage87]

@neopia9 Totally. Like on New Years or Christmas Day. Have it start the same as this, but everything gets more colourful and higher in definition, with the peacock spreading a tail of several million shades with an announcer proclaiming "The following program is brought to you in living high definition colour, on NBC."

[hebneh]

I remember this VERY well.

[mca1218]

That's the most gorgeous rendition I've seen yet.

[747400fan]

I remember reading somewhere that there was a disagreement over the the publishing of the background music for the Peacock. Bickering over a musical background that lasts mere SECONDS?

[ccie12933]

Seconds that added up to a lot of money in royalties, I'd bet.
