Boy, I wish life could be this goofy and fun again.

[altheaharris]

WOW I have never seen this, but I was there for all my favorite shows. If I could only go back.

[sherriedrummer]

Wow! NBC had all the great shows. This is my Era. Miss those days of comfort and serenity. Good family shows. 💜💜
Thank you NBC and all the great actors, writers, directors, and all that made these shows successful.

[albatani]

Showcasing so many of the performers from 01:15 to 01:29 was always my favorite part.

[bmasters]

One of my most favorite shows (have seen it all on DVD) started in the middle of this Be There season-- Riptide (which started on my third birthday [Tuesday, Jan. 3, 1984]).

No Brasil a melhor emissora do meu país o SBT fez a versão dessa vinheta em português, chamada de Quem procura acha aqui.

I wasn’t THERE, but it damn sure looks like a good time for TV 🫶🏽

I don’t know about you all, but I’m going to NBC there!

1:10-1:11: In memory of Ellen Harper Jackson, excuse me Betty White. 1922-2021

I've seen each and every single episode of Gimme A Break!, and Mama's Family. I've also seen the High School USA telemovie with Family Ties' Michael J. Fox, The Facts of Life's Nancy McKeon, Revenge of the Nerds' Anthony Edwards, and Gimme A Break!'s Lauri Hendler; and the High School USA sole pilot which never picked up as a series, this time starring Leave it to Beaver's Barbara Billingsley and Jerry Mathers, and Bewitched's Dick York. All which aired on NBC that season.

[danielsamuels]

The start to a peak that lasted over 20 years.

[FomorViceroy]

The only two shows to survive that season were mid-season replacements; Riptide and Night Court.

[moriver]

Back when television was magic and not junk like now. RIP to the people on this video, no longer with us.

[ronflatter]

0:29 1:07 I am sure Tom Brokaw and Roger Mudd were thrilled to be included in this. Pfffft.

[joshgellis]

Damned 'Bike Shop' episode! F you 'Family Guy' for causing my interest in that episode! LOL!
