Cool, I don't remember any of those commercials but it was nice to see what other CBS shows were on at that time in history. I thought the "You and CBS" jingle sounded like Randy Newman singing but in the comments someone said it was Richie Havens...Wow, his Here Comes The Sun from Woodstock is still one of my favorite covers of all time....Reef monkey wrote:This is the CBS promo campaign (that included Magnum) that I remember vividly from 1983. I was about 7 years old when it came out, but the song stayed stuck in my head for 3 decades before I found it again on Youtube.

Oh, and check this promo from 1984. The shot of Jonathan Hillerman in Higgins' regimental blazer and tie and making the "throw me the ball" gesture and then sinking a basket is priceless.
