They promised something out there… and NBC delivered— at first. 👽 A hit miniseries with aliens, killer effects, and a cop/ET team-up turned into a very different show once the series hit the air. Watch the original NBC promo and see the version audiences signed up for...

Rare 1976 ABC promo alert! 📺 Found inside a Charo special from one week before the premiere of Viva Valdez, narrated by Ernie Anderson. Pepe thinks he was an accident. "What's wrong, son?" "I'm having hot flushes!" 😳😂

📺CBS, Summer 1980. A rerun of WKRP in Cincinnati… followed by “a hot new comedy” about a Soviet athlete defecting to America for love.💕 CBS in 1980 tried this Cold War sitcom called Phyl & Mikhy during the same summer the U.S. boycotted the Moscow Olympics. Oops...

#OnThisDay 1986: The Last Precinct ended its run on NBC. This one-hour comedy starred Adam West and a precinct full of oddballs, stereotypes, fourth-wall breaks, and general chaos. It lasted just two months before getting flattened by Dallas.

#OnThisDay 1987: Scarecrow and Mrs. King ended its 4-season run on CBS. Admit it: your mom watched. 😄 This 87 promo promised spies, drug syndicates, Dallas revenge, and a completely unhinged Falcon Crest: "Somebody kidnapped my baby!" "Give me the scissors!" Friday night TV was a different world.

40 years ago: NBC’s 1986 “Come Home” campaign already felt like a televised revival meeting… but then they got Michael Landon from Highway to Heaven to personally invite viewers home to NBC. 😇📺 It was like a divine command to watch Thursday night television.

The SAVE America Act forces states to submit their voter rolls to a DHS program that has a history of flagging eligible U.S. citizens for removal with little to no explanation. You may not realize your state removed you until election day. And to reregister, you'll need documents you may not have.

use your imagination that ballroom he just has to have because Marlargo isn’t enough it’s not about the ballroom. It’s about the Epstein’s Island bunker. He’s building underneath because anything Hitler had Trump has to have as well. He won’t even use any of his stolen money to pay his hit squad.

I got that the other day. It does its best with the only source print, but is still really good. Curious 'duplicated and reversed shots' shades of Doctor Who: Underworld. I saw it on C4 in the early 90s on a Casio pocket tv and fell in love with it.

The treatment of detainees inside Delaney Hall is appalling. Lack of medical care. Insufficient and sometimes infested food. Overflowing sewage, overcrowding, no outdoor time, and blatant retaliation.

I voted “no” on the Farm Bill because it would make life more difficult for farmers and families.    House Republicans have brought forward a bill that prioritizes large corporations over our nation’s producers.    I remain committed to standing up for Virginia’s farmers.
