It's nostalgia time!
Yeah this is a strange idea, I admit
it. But even the little things can bring back fond memories. I have
talked a lot about tv shows and commercials from the good old days, but
what about the little program bumpers used to advertise the network
being watched? These aired right before or in the middle of the show,
and some of these are so memorable that wacthing them now still makes me
feel like a kid again.
#5.Saturday Morning Cartoons
It
makes sense, you have kids as your audience you want to keep them
interested as possible. The ad breaks were usuallty very clever, and
while there are dozens of examples here is one I always remember from
NBC
#4.MTV
Oh hell yeah. This one is so famous it has been parodied to death. It really got you pumped and ready for the coolness to come
#3.HBO Feature Presentation
I
freaking loved this! I swear I would turn the channel on just to see
the bumper HBO used before their movies. It brings chills everytime I
see it.

#2.Nickelodeon
Ah,
Nickelodeon in the golden age. I loved that network and most of the
shows on it. The bumpers made it even better, with cool animation. Check it out :
#1.CBS Special Presentation
I
am not saying a word, just click the link. If you are my age or older, I
know this wil bring back fond memories of great times. Nothing else
needs to be said, when you saw this you knew awesomness was coming.
Ah, memories.
Bumpers could be really cool. :)
