Thank you for these, Catra. I'm with humbleradio on this one. It's a good thing you guys are out there - otherwise we'd never have these treasures to take us back :-) Some of these even get me a little teary eyed for my childhood
He's the man I will always associate with TV in the late 70s and early 80s...of course, when I found out he was the4 father of PT Anderson, I flipped...
Someone told me there was a 20/20 interview with Ernie Anderson from the early to mid 90's? Ernie had a gruff look to him. Also I heard the host of America's Funniest Home Video's Bob Sagot used to include Ernie in some bits on camera? Any truth to these?
Thursday night, fall of '81. Ernie Anderson was "the" voice of ABC's promos during that period. He'd have been the narrator on "THE POWERPUFF GIRLS" if he hadn't passed away in early 1998.....
WoW! look where Robin Williams and Danny Devito have gone since these days.

I feel like I'm 15 years old again, upstairs watching the tube before mom calls me down for dinner. These promos were ALWAYS running. Thanks!

Sorry, don't have any. This came direct from an ABC broadcast.

This sounds like it came from the 80's TV Themes site (I saw this same promo from that site).

Has to be a coincidence. This came from my personal Beta recordings collection.
