this is when the networks had common sense on how to promote the shows- DURING THE COMMERCIAL BREAKS, NOT DURING THE SHOW LIKE IT'S DONE TODAY!!!

I'm amazed this tape still works 30 years later.

Wish someone still had some of that old NBC NASCAR footage from way back when on SportsWorld. Talk about rare.

I doubt less people were watching NBC because of a logo. Their track record with shows then was seriously waining..but perhaps settling on that style of "N" during that period was testament to how much the executives cared about NBC's image (squat).

Everyone pulls a camp trailer with a Rolls Royce.

That N logo was so ugly, like a gum wrapper. All it did was draw attention to how bad NBC's graphics were at the time. No wonder nobody watched at the time

@peteo100 He's not even at the circus; he's just standing in front of a greenscreen.

@biggiejeffrey Oh, I'm afraid you're right! That was the only time you ever saw her on TV.

With shows like this, it's no wonder NBC was in 3rd place, Dan Haggerty Goest to the Circus, hehehehehehe

[cincyblows]

This makes reality shows look good.

I am quite sure that the Bionic Woman promo was from 1977

The rule for TV shows in the 70's was that EVERY variety show HAD to have a cameo by CHARO!

It was THE RULE!

The networks these days are trying to compete with cable, but they're doing it the wrong way.  They should lose the reality and talent shows, and concentrate on entertaining us again. There aren't even cartoons on in the mornings anymore. Remember waking up at 5:45am and watching a test pattern for 15 minutes until Bullwinkle and Rocky came on? Now we have juicer and dicer/slicer infomercials.
