CBS needs to do commercials like this again and maybe people will start watching. I use to LOVE CBS now I can't stand it. I grew up watching most of those shows and they were awesome compared to todays crap.

[prlad85]

God, it's hard to believe this is from twenty years ago. I was five when this came out. I told some friends of mine about the Brazilian remake of this and they were surprised and shocked out of all due respect.

Have a great day, a great night, a great week, a great month, a great spring and a Happy Sanit Patrick's Day! Puerto Rican Love from New York City!

[JHollowayNetwork]

in Australia, it was copied by Network Ten for the That's Entertainment campaign in 1991.

[prlad85]

In 1993 it was copied in Brasil by SBT. SBT copies alot of American things as well as European things too.

Have a great one! Puerto Rican Love from New York City!

[tuzwol]

excellent version of classic song,great lead by Ron Tyson and great harmonies by the rest of the tempts

[stevengomez247]

ladies and gentlemen the temptations

[landrykkb]

CBS weren't quite the heavyweight network in 1990 that they were in the 70's & up until the mid 80's.

[Koolazzmike]

That because CBS stunk in 1990, and NBC was "The Place to Be."

[luckyc120]

was whoopi in this commercial???

[fossefan]

Yup!  She and Jean Stapleton were plugging "Baghdad Cafe."

[philendrick]

I really like these visual effects.

[ChristianKidsShowFan]

Nothing makes a promo ridiculously dated like a bunch of random trapezoids.

[FXTEX]

I see dead people. I mean, first we see William Conrad (Fatman from Jake and the fat man) then when they do the promo for the news, they show both Ed Bradley and Charles Kuralt. Then they showed Robert Pasterlli (Eldon from Murphy Brown) it seems like we are watching one of those memorial tributes with the Temptations in the background. I remember watching this before but seeing it here on You Tube makes me think that memorial tribute.

[POWERSAW1980]

I'll bet in 1990, CBS was the #1 network in the San Francisco Bay Area because of the A's and the 49ers. CBS had it all with MLB and the Sunday afternoon NFC package. Nowadays, FOX probably feels like they have it all.

[denisrvieira]

The sticker has been adapted here in Brazil in 1993 by the channel SBT!

[KuyaMo27]

yes CBS is now actually the best.

[luckyc120]

yea thats why their able to pay charlie sheen all that money for every episode of two and a half men....nbc was the top during this time of this commercial

[POWERSAW1980]

Seeing Tommy Lasorda dance was hilarious. Kinda weird seeing Timmy McCarver with CBS.

[TMC1982Part2]

1990 was the first year of CBS' exclusive, over-the-air contract (after many years on ABC and NBC). Tim McCarver was the lead color commentator (working with Jack Buck and later, Sean McDonough) for all four years.

[bennjr]

Also Sandy Duncan in a clip from VALERIE'S FAMILY.

[jonatha2608]

there is a very interesting commercial from motorola that uses a different version of this music

há um comercial bem legal da motorola que usa essa música, em uma diferente versão.

[camilorincon16091991]

Estan listos en la cadena uno

[jkbezo]

Thank you. I have been looking for this a very long time. My kids laughed at me when I told them about this promo like I was crazy. Now I have proof.

[wellbh]

see "se liga no SBT" on Brazil.

[camilorincon16091991]

CARALHO

[caiofelipe45]

the sports in CBS your baseball and basketball and the SBT your judo and soccer

[camilorincon16091991]

CARALHO

[oldcbsfantwo]

This promo is 18 years old!! Damn!

[barber747]

How is this out of character? It's the 90s, so whaddya expect? This style is actually appropriate for the 90s IMO.

[tvpirate05]

Man...this is so cheesy...hard to believe it was in-style 17 years ago lol.

[caiofelipe45]

the brazilian version for in channel SBT

[krystlerita]

I see Whoopi Goldberg

What was her show at that time?

[tvpirate05]

Very short-lived show called "Baghdad Cafe".

[danielfguimaraes]

[jgarin07]

Gosh, I wish TV was as enthusiastic as this promo. I love CBS and ABC. They should do these type of promos.

[jonatha2608]

this promo was used in brasil (CBS). In youtube there's a video (Se loga no SBT). This promo and the SBT's promo are identicals

[oldcbsfantwo]

I dunno, Bergen is sexy!

[fossefan]

Candice Bergen always looks like she's just having the time of her life in these promos.

But why could they never get Angela Lansbury?

[oldcbsfantwo]

SBT and Network Ten Stole it in 1993-1991.

[oldcbsfantwo]

Who was the company behind the promo?

[oldcbsfantwo]

The first time I saw this video was back then when you were DCbatwing. THANKS FOR BRINGING DIS BACK!!

[SilasGTBronte]

I think I can barely remember this promo, especially the sequence with the doors (:44-:57). I was a little over 6; I think it came during Summer 1990.

[JRaygor]

I wonder if CBS tried a bit too hard to copy NBC's style of "party atmosphere" promos? (Instead of the usual montage of clips)

Also, this promo is hysterically dated. From the loud neon colors, the random trapezoids to the overly jazzed up remix of the Temptations song, this promo just SCREAMS 1990.

But I'm glad to have this back and in great quality!

[WVECSpirit]

Also nice to see a high-quality version.
