I'm curious to know if there are any classic TV promos that people remember or really enjoyed. I've recently been going through some old school Nick at Nite VHS tapes, and am finding a ton that were awesome (cute jingles, parodies, etc.) I know TV Land used to have a bunch of really witty promos as well!

Are there any favorites that people have from the old Nick at Nite / TV Land days (or any other similar 'classic TV' networks)? I've been creating a YouTube playlist of some of my all-time favorites here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7A617CEF7CBF8209 , but would love to here if there are specific favorites I might not have found yet!

My personal favorite was the 'I Want to Be a Brady' song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYWCpFDToi4

Nick at Nite and TV Land used to be the kings of clever promos. I remember watching "Those Nick at Nite Promos" during the 10 year Anniversary Week in 1995... that just showed how creative they used to be.

As far as jingles, I LOVED the 2000 Block Party Summer jingle. I also liked the "Sit on It" song for Happy Days, the reworded "Dick Van Dyke" theme promo, and the TV Land sign on song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIszEa47jsI)

I'm sure there are many more, those are just off the top of my head

My favorite is one that I've heard about a long time ago but haven't seen at all until last week. It's the TV Land Promo where the girls from "Petticoat Junction" magically turn into "My Three Sons".

It's a real classic and I'm surprised nobody has posted it on Youtube before until now.

There are loads upon loads of image campaigns and premiere promos for NBC shows out there on the great big wasteland of YouTube. This is my favorite YT channel in particular:

By the way, eyeontv also has material from CBS, ABC, premium networks and overseas networks as well.

I love the song that CBS used for this promo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vqpw-Y2nQAI&feature=related
