1991 NBC Promo (Satisfaction a.k.a. Girls of Summer).wmv

(c)1988/1991 NBC Universal

This was an interesting find. Here, we have NBC promoting their airing of a rare collaboration of NBC and Aaron Spelling in the arena of filmmaking in the movie "Satisfaction". The movie featured Justine Bateman (at the time, best known as Mallory Keaton from "Family Ties"; perhaps this was intended to see if she could match TV brother Michael J. Fox's film success with the Back to the Future series) as part of an all-girl band including Britta Phillips (singing voice of the title character for the mid-1980s cartoon "Jem") and Julia Roberts in her film debut, with a young Liam Nesson as the major male character.

By this point (unlike Fox), Bateman's post-Family Ties career had abruptly stalled out, while Julia Roberts had just entered the Hollywood A-list thanks to her role in 1990's "Pretty Woman", thus NBC deciding to put all the emphasis on Roberts' character; going so far as to retitle the film "Girls of Summer" for broadcast.

LMAO, Julia Roberts wasn't the main character in that movie.

@cullen414twilight  Me too, I've tried to put a clip on but Fox own it & won't allow it. It's 20 years old! Why won't they give a little clip?

@mississhippy: it's greed, pure and simple... they feel they must be the only ones that make money off something...
