Gregory Harrison appears on behalf of The Family Man, which was given a mid-season renewal for the 1991-92 season in case its summer 1991 ratings increased. The latter didn't happen, so the second season episodes that were ordered never went into production. This promo was most likely produced around May 1991 at the time of network upfronts, so they had to feature Harrison just in case.
Nothing long-running for CBS that season (the longest tenured show was Brooklyn Bridge, which ran for 2 seasons).
Granted some of that was due to unforeseen circumstances (i.e.: Redd Foxx's death helping sink "The Royal Family") but it's like almost all the other new shows got pulled in a hurry.
This campaign ran during the fall of the Final Season of "Dallas" because I seen Larry Hagman in this ad. I think I saw Nicholette Sheridan in this ad she's the Blonde with the red hat and Huge Hoop Earrings who winks at the camera!!) I maybe wrong ..but I could be right she was on Knots Landing another popular Aaron Spelling show on CBS.
I think in 1991-1992, CBS was the #1 network solely because they had not only the 1991 World Series which was their highest rated but also because of Super Bowl XXVI. How funny & ironic that both of those events took place at the Metrodome in Minneapolis.
Ironically, the documentary series True Detectives, which premiered in the 1990-91 season and was hosted by Harrison, was not picked up as well

WJBK in Detroit (then a CBS affilate, now a Fox owned station) had a local version of this campaign.
'The Look of Detroit is TV 2'

I notice at least 4 Knots Landing stars made appearances: Ted Shackelford, Joan Van Ark, Michele Lee, and Nicollette Sheridan
Odd, because by this time Knots was plummeting in the ratings

I believe "Dallas" was already off the air before this promo began. The last episode aired around May 1991 I believe.

Also, neither Dallas nor Knots Landing were produced by Aaron Spelling.
