Following on the post about "Happy Days" promos, here's one from Nick at Nite (and one for Bob Newhart, below), back when promos were actually useful (1998) and not just a crawl on the screen. I have to say, this is probably more entertaining, and took more effort, than most of the actual shows on Nick at Nite today. Happy Days writer Mark Rothman talks about the origin of "Sit On It" on his blog. And for fun, here's a manic Tom Hanks taking on the Fonz in 1982.
This "Bob Newhart Show" promo must have been the brainchild of the same person who made "Sit On It" above. Both of them have that 1990s LA vibe that gave us Quentin Tarantino and "Pulp Fiction." And they're both catchy.
