Just wait till Feburary 9th, 2013 ABC will turn 50 and it's still memorable from classics lke Ozzie & Harriet, The Fugitive, Batman, Happy Days, Dynasty, Home Improvement, NYPD Blue, Grey's Anatomy, & Roots. to today's excrement like Desparate Housesluts & Dancing With the D-list Stars. That's ABC for you.
This bit of television history was well done. Seeing some of the shows again, brings back memories. Hope you have more like this. ( And from other stations as well. )
ABC made new shows in 1993, like Lois and Clarke, Free Willy, Sonic the Hedgehog (or Sonic SatAM) and Boy Meets World. The next year, Sister Sister was on and the year after that came The Drew Carey Show.
Dear Kartoon Klub, I watched on ABC TV"American Bandstand","Lunch With Soupy Sales"/"The Soupy Sales Show", ,"Batman","Wonder Woman","Barney Miller","Bewitched","Rin Tin Tin","McHale's Navy","Rocky & His Friends",'The Magic Land Of Alakazam","The Magic Ranch","Sweet Hostage"etc.
The voiceover is Brian Cummings, who does a lot of Disney trailers. In case anyone is wondering about the music, it's from the score to another Disney film, "The Rocketeer" by James Horner.
It's not Marc Elliott. He was the main voice over at CBS during that time, as he had been for about a decade prior. The guy we hear is also prolific in his national work, but I never knew his name.

Unfortunealy..on ABC TV's 40th anniversary tv tribute.The producers did no
real tribute to the network's kids tv shows and they only honored the sitcoms of
the 1970's,80's,and 90'.sThey completly ignored their own kids shows and sitcoms of the past.

I will never forget ABC Sports either:
Monday Night Football (Frank Gifford and Al Michaels)
Wide World of Sports with Jim McKay
College Football with Keith Jackson.
Now since ESPN produces sports for ABC, everything went to hell.
Sports on ABC is not what I remembered.

As a journalism student, aspiring TV anchorman and TV news buff...
I see Peter Jennings and Charlie Gibson.
Gibson was Jennings' longtime substitute anchor while he was the anchor on Good Morning America; now, he is Peter's permanent replacement.
As for the legend himself - Jennings - you will always be my muse in a fucked-up cable news world we're living in.

Sounds like the Disney guy to me. Too bad ABC went to hell shortly after their 45th anniversary, when they gave in to the stupid bug craze.

Could that be Disney's announcer Mark Elliot doing the v.o.? (Perhaps not... Disney didn't acquire ABC 'til '96.)
