In the very early 70's, every Friday night I would spend the night at my grandparents and my grandmother and I would sit up late and watch Johnny, and this logo would come on right before the show started. Then when the show was over, we'd shut the lights off, and turn the TV off and watch the little white dot of light in the middle of the screen fade away for 5 min. I guess when your a little kid that was cool, hell, it was free anyway.....

Yes, that 'clunk' sound of the TV when you turned it on and the phosphor white dot fading when you turned it off.... Dial Telephones...AM Top40 Radio.... Damn we're getting old! Digital is boring, eh?

i could watch that again and again...i think i will!

I would give anything to be a kid again, lying on my stomach in front of the tv...just for one hour.

The NBC peacock would spook the daylights out of me when I was a little kid, as well as the MGM lion.But the peacock was spookier than the lion.

Watching this reminds me being a little squirt at my aunt's house and my uncle always had the news on NBC, with Chet Huntley. Can I please get a wayback machine to those wonderful times?

@JarheadPatriot0311 Oh yeah, at your local 7-11 stores, I sure do. What about the watergate era? you only had a hand full of channels to watch then and just about all of them were wiped out with that mess. BTW thank you for your service, America sure needs folks like you now.

@camflex66 What a great memory friend. Me and my brothers would also get really close to the set to watch the dot and see if we could still see the program on. lol Great time to be a kid. Remember the Tube testers at the Market? I truly miss those days so much.

The next sound I hear in my head after this is: "One of these stars is sitting in the Secret Square, and the contestant who picks it could win a prize package worth $3,000 dollars! Which star is it?" (Mid-'60s "Hollywood Squares" intro) It was generally connected to days when we had a "Snow Day", or were home sick from school and watching TV. God, I miss childhood. (Or is it Wally Cox and Charley Weaver that I miss?)

I think this is their best nettwork ID ever!

@musicom67 Digital indeed deadly... Don't forget the thrill of the family's first colour TV - the disappearing dot was "tricolour" blending together, fading into the screen centre and then that incredible static crackle. Oh, and I think we were told never to sit too close for fear of radiation poisoning.

@Bradyhousetour I am with you, I think all of us on you tube long for the great memories we had, I know I did, had a magical childhood growing up in the late 60s and 70s... thanks for the work that went into to this.... sounds crazy brought tears to my eyes.......miss my dad....where did time go? Good health and blessings to all.

I know it's redundant to say this, but this brings back SO many memories. Thank you for posting this!
