I just can't get enough of movie openings, bumpers and station promos. I miss the days when there were only three channels, PBS and UHF on the dial. Cable was not even a thought and stations had some great introductions to specials and shows.
Man this brings me back to my elementary school days. My family and I have one of those movie nights where we can just sit down and watch a goid movie. At least the networks take their time for the viewer to get in the mood. Thank you Vintage Television for getting my memories back.
The intro's to NBC's "Saturday Night at The Movies" was the all-time best. In the very early 60's, the 'lightened marquee' of a movie theater harkened to a great film about to be shown. I distinctly remember the intro.
1:12 brings back memories of those Friday nights (or a weeknight before a school holiday) when I was a kid in grade school staying up late & watching TV with my folks & brother. They played all sorts of movies and other shows for CBS Late Night from what I remember--good times.
WOW! Back from the days when the TV networks didn't feel the need to cram idiotic commercials into every. split. second. of broadcasting! When they'd take the time to get the viewer into the mood for the upcoming movie. When a TV program's ending credits took longer then 15 seconds and actually filled the entire screen instead of being crammed into a one-inch bar at the bottom of the screen while another stupid commercial would be thrown up at us. It is no wonder at all that my wife and I stopped watching broadcast or cable TV ten years ago.
I miss those days too--especially when that CBS Special Presentation logo came up before Christmas specials. That's when you REALLY knew you were in for a treat.
GREAT VIDEO! LOVED IT! Great memories for me as a kid growing up. Loved Movie nights! NBC was amazing and so was CBS. In my early 20's for the 2000 election. What a night that was lol ;)
OMG! This brings back so many great memories! Thank you so much for this! I look forward to seeing more of your videos! You just earned a new subscriber! :)
@Amit Divecha, one hour after prime time ended. Typically after that night's local news & some other 30-minute show, such as I Love Lucy, or something like that.
Back in the days when I was a young man and having $150. to $200. in your pocket on a Friday meant you was in for a really nice weekend. Plus, those were the final years when FM-radio (R&B stations) really was FM-radio, before it later became AM in stereo.

The transfer was processed through a time base corrector to stabilize the off-tape signal and properly adjust video levels.
The CBS movie intros....the moment when you knew quality TV was about to start. Memories galore!
Wow, what a clear, crisp copy!

Back in the day when movies were huge and meant something
+CommanderCronus So true
I love the "Let's All Be There" jingle so much.
Me too.
Stunning work. I've never seen these look so good. Fantastic transfer!
I miss these intros!!

Awesome quality! Thanks for sharing!
These would have been SO expensive...
Now I can do them on my laptop.
Much of the PDI material (CBS Movie Open for sure) animated by Glen Entis.

Brings back some great memories!
This takes me back to childhood
The NBC open was us.................youth!
Also the last to feature the Proud N symbol.
I like the NBC portion of this video
why dont they bring these bumpers back?
I fully agree with you
Myke Ortiz likely for the same reason for everything now , greed and $ ... these bumpers really rocked and I wish it would all come back
Myke Ortiz Because the airtime needed for these bumpers is airtime that one more idiotic commercial could be crammed into.
they should bring this back

CBS had the best music, AND Salem's Lot.
THe CBS @ 1:12 gave instant chills
Pretty nice video quality here. Are these transferred from VHS?
wow this looks good

Reminds me of the glory days.
What time did CBS air it's late night movies?

***** Actually before "The Pat Sajak Show" premiered in 1989.
