I remember that opening too, I used to watch The banana splits and The Wonderful World of Disney on NBC. My family watched NBC a lot, my parents loved Laugh In and Bonanza, I always loved Little House On The Prairie. But I don't remember the peacock before Little House came on though.
does anyone remember when NBC had a segment before the 1st show of the night (8:00) called whats on tonight where an on camera host would do an anouncement of the programs that would air that nights in prime time lineup?? I think it was only used during the 1972-73 season.
I do remember this NBC Peacock as the one used for openings of several shows until the fall of 1974. This is the opening I remember used right before the first episode of "Little House On The Priarie" (the only time the Peacock was used for "Little House"), from when I was 10 years old (the last time I remember the Peacock used). I wish someone could find the vid. of that Peacock (same here), but w/ the unique quick cut to the girls running down the hill.
I remember getting into my pajamas and sitting in anticipation of that "following program" while my hair was still wet from the shower. Oh the simple times when we only had 3 channels. NBC, CBS, and ABC.
Remember it used to be on Tuesday everyone would talk about what they saw last night on Mary Tyler Moore? Or ALl in the Family. Now people are like, "Did you see Crime Scene Death Trap Live or some shit like that? And i have no idea. In a way it's good. Now I don't watch TV except PBS.
I remember coming back to school on Monday mornings, and my friends would talk about what they saw on Emergency! a few nights earlier. (The more enterprising kids snuck in All in the Family, which has to be one of the greatest sitcoms ever.) A decade later, we'd talk about what we saw on Cosby or Family Ties that Thursday night. These days, there's little to watch on TV except for Kitchen Nightmares (I love Gordon Ramsay), CSI, and Dr. G: Medical Examiner. The rest of TV is, well, blah!

I remember well sitting in front of the TV waiting for the Peacock then I would get to see I dream of Jeannie or Get Smart or the Ghost and Mrs Muir

I loved seeing this! In the 60's it always meant that I'd hear Dean Martin singing Everybody loves somebody sometime! Then his TV show would begin!

That peacock scared the heck out of me when I was a young kid.
