    I remember this! What a fun, feel-good promo! I was 14 years old when this promo was on TV in 1982, and I remember it well. It's so great to see it again! Brings back memories! Back when TV was family-friendly! It makes me feel nostalgic! Anybody gave a time machine? I wanna go back to the good ol' days!

    Brings back memories. I was an extra for crowd shots in a 1982 ABC "Come on Along" series of promotions, similar to this video link. They used a busload of students from the University of Southern California. Managed to smooch Scott Baio on the cheek and won a television in the drawing afterwards.
