[ThankYouMrAcavano]

What the hell were we thinking back then, I mean...did a group of armed 12-year-olds forcefully takeover the three major networks?

This is so fucking childish and corny!

[Tizmaole]

Did anyone ever notice that the two guys from "The Insiders" looked a lot like Daryl Hall & John Oates?

[meterman432110]

wow i was 16 then i would have to say somewhat best time of my life . my generation!!!!!!!!!

[Yobachi2007]

Ah this really takes me back. I'd forgotten about that first show. And I haven't seen Spencer for Hire in ages. I loved Hawk. He was great on Deep Space 9, too.

[Cyclops236]

Is that Eddie Money?

[rebafan19]

[Houstontvnews]

@rebafan19 KTRK

[deangelomywayentfans]

@rebafan19 What station was on Channel 6 WBRC

[rebafan19]

@deangelomywayentfans WBRC is now a Fox affiliate, they were a FOX owned-and-operated station, then the station changed its owner to Local TV, LLC, then a swap began with CBS affiliate WTVR/Richmond, VA taking the ownership, in which WBRC is now owned by Raycom Media, also the station operates the area's Fuse TV affiliate on digital subchannel 6.2.

[deangelomywayentfans]

@rebafan19 did it campaign on Channel 6 in 1985

I love this for the nostalgia of when networks used to do wall-to-wall promotion for their fall season, but seriously this singer is even worse than the real Randy Newman. Not to mention it seems like the reworkings for each particular program seems a little off-beat.

Also, can't help that point out this TV season (1985-86) would be the end of an era, as it would be the last with only three broadcast networks!

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

MACGYVER!!!! He was really cute, even when he didn't have the mullet yet (which was basically all of the first season).

[DVaccarelli1988]

Was that Michael Jackson from 0:22-0:25?

[Ecossaise]

It was Stoney Jackson.

[DVaccarelli1988]

It looked like Michael to me.

[Ecossaise]

LOL I don't think Michael's hair was ever that long.

[JhomasE]

DVaccarelli1988. Wrong Jackson. LOL.

[Tonysgirl59]

No. That was not Michael Jackson. That was STONEY Jackson. From the show "The Insiders".

[SIKE01]

THE INSIDERS was a MIAMI VICE rip-off, that lasted one season (1985-1986).

[MrEclectic61]

OMG I'm so old! :D

[InkedMommy]

I feel your pain

[retrotypestuff]

Thanks been driving me crazy what the name of the "insiders" was....that song has been in my head for over 20 years

[recto89]

The song Lives on When the LA Lakers are in the NBA Finals.

[schildno5]

Deep, dark Tans. Cleft chins, & feathered, bleached-out hair. Let's not forget the Jheri Curl. Brings me back.

[Ssrn53]

Jerry curls and Spenser for Hire. Ah the 80's.
