NBC is bringing it on Saturday night, and it ain't messing around! Buried in the middle of this collection of non-music segments from Friday Night Videos is this amazing promo for the next evening's lineup on the Peacock network. You should see a spot for Diff'rent Strokes when you hit play below:
We hear Danny Dark turn from light: Arnold WHOMPS a thief to dark: "Will triumph turn to tragedy?" One of my favorite network promo characteristics is the jarring tone shift that happens in a matter of seconds, especially in the family sitcoms! Another funny part of the spot is that the jaunty theme music is still playing while Kimberly realizes her dad was shot.
Then it's right back to lightness with whatever this Frog People business is. Even better, we get the original bad-ass himself, John Houseman, calling out T.J. Hooker from his perch on the red-hot Silver Spoons! I love Houseman's lumberjack look here. The man is clearly ready to roll up his sleeves and get down and dirty to prove that Hooker is indeed "dead meat."
I guess Cutter to Houston on CBS wasn't even worth of a mention!
