NBC Proud as a Peacock - Quiz Show (HD - 720p)

I was watching the 1979 NBC "Proud as a Peacock" image piece, with its clips recalling Bob Hope, Sid Caesar, Jack Benny, and other legends from the network's sunnier days, and I wondered how the same campaign would go along with images from a period the network would rather forget: the quiz show scandals of the late '50s.

Featuring clips from Robert Redford's 1994 masterpiece, Quiz Show.

Y'know what they should've done for this movie-had this song in an network promo. I now it would be an anachronism, but honestly, the song works better for the fifties. Radio style jingles were on the way out by that time in favor of instrumentals.
