0:48 The “Hooker is Hot” campaign promo is a rare example of the studio producing a promo for the show and not it’s network. ABC may not have been giving the show the promotional push it needed. (Then again this was its last season on ABC.)
And it wasn't the only time this happened, IIRC, or even the only medium in which it happened-- one ad for the short-lived CBS crime dramedy Stir Crazy in TV Guide (the TV Guide we knew, before the listings were stripped down to networks, and no longer local channels) had the 80s Torch Lady in the bottom right-hand corner, w/Coca-Cola byline; I think I may have shown that a time back on Facebook.
This takes me back to my childhood

1:11 the CPT logo on the lower right for some reason, the same thing happened with CBS's promos for Mike Hammer.
