Телевидение в США: 1983 год

Television related events in the USA during 1983

The year 1983 in television involved some significant events.

Date EventJanuary 1After episode 410 of Soul Train was broadcast this day, the series goes on hiatus for Don Cornelius's brain surgery. Original episodes return on April 30 after Cornelius returns from his convalescence. January 3Plinko is added as a pricing game on the CBS game show The Price Is Right; it will go on to become one of the most popular of the show's games. Also on this date, three new game shows debut on rival NBC: $ale of the Century, Just Men! and Hit Man. The two latter shows will leave the air after 13 weeks, whereas $ale (a revival of the hit NBC game show of the late 1960s early 1970's) will go on to have a six year run. January 8The NFL playoffs begin on CBS and NBC, who televised the NFC and AFC playoff games respectively. Because a players' strike reduced the regular season from 16 to only 9 games, the National Football League created a special 16 team playoff format (dubbed the "Super Bowl Tournament", where division standings were ignored and eight teams from each conference were seeded 1–8 based on their regular season records), just for this year. As a further consequence of the strike, this marked the first (and currently only) time that NFL playoff games were regionally televised across the United States instead of nationwide. January 10Canada and the United States launch the television series Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock, an educational co production advocating tolerance. January 30The first regular episode for The A Team airs after NBC's coverage of Super Bowl XVII. February 5The first part of a special two part episode of Diff'rent Strokes called "The Bicycle Man", in which Arnold and Dudley encounter a pedophile (played by Gordon Jump), is broadcast on NBC. It is notable for starting the trend of very special episodes. February 6–13ABC broadcasts the epic miniseries The Winds of War, based on the novel by Herman Wouk. It is seen in part or in total by 140 million viewers, making it the most watched miniseries at the time. February 13Marvin Gaye performs a soulful rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" at the NBA All Star Game at The Forum in Los Angeles. VH1 would later use it as the first very first video when they premiered on January 1, 1985. And when CBS broadcast their final NBA telecast at the end of the 1990 NBA Finals, they played Gaye's 1983 rendition of the anthem during the closing credits. February 20An extended cut of Star Trek: The Motion Picture premieres on the ABC. It added roughly 12 minutes to the film. The added footage was largely unfinished, and cobbled together for the network premiere; director Robert Wise hadn't wanted some of the footage to be included in the final cut of the film. This version was released on VHS and LaserDisc by Paramount in 1983. February 21ABC airs a made for television biographical film about the life of Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco, starring Cheryl Ladd. The producers would claim that Princess Grace assisted for several weeks with the films preproduction before her unexpected death in September 1982. February 23PBS broadcasts The Operation, a live telecast of an actual open heart surgery. February 28More than 125 million Americans watch the 251st and final episode of M*A*S*H on CBS, "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen". It would be the most viewed TV broadcast in U. S. history until Super Bowl XLIV in February 2010. March 3WFBC TV, NBC affiliate in Greenville, changes its call sign to WYFF. March 6Country Music Television (CMT) begins in the United States. The first televised USFL football game (Los Angeles Express vs. New Jersey Generals) is broadcast by ABC. The Express would ultimately win the game, 20–15. March 7The Nashville Network (TNN) (known later as The National Network and Spike TV; now known as Paramount Network) begins broadcasting. March 10MTV broadcasts the video of Michael Jackson's song "Billie Jean" for the first time. The video is the first by a black artist to gain great airplay on MTV, and is credited with helping the album Thriller, in which the song is included, become the best selling album of all time. March 18CBS broadcasts Still the Beaver, a two hour television movie which reintroduces the adult actors, reprising their child characters, from the original 1957–1963 sitcom Leave It to Beaver. This would be followed by a new TV series which was also called Still the Beaver that would air on The Disney Channel for the 1984–85 season. Beginning in the 1986–87 season, the series, now named The New Leave It to Beaver, would air on WTBS, where it would remain until its conclusion in 1989. March 19US First Lady Nancy Reagan makes a special appearance on an episode of the NBC comedy Diff'rent Strokes, beginning her Just Say No anti drug campaign. March 20NBC broadcasts the TV movie Special Bulletin, a fictional—yet realistic—depiction of a TV network's coverage of a nuclear terrorism threat in Charleston, South Carolina. The movie is an early collaboration between Edward Zwick (who directed) and Marshall Herskovitz (who wrote the teleplay); both men would create and produce thirtysomething later in the 1980s. April 4Archie Bunker's Place broadcasts its last original episode as CBS cancels the series after four seasons (and without a proper series finale), ending Carroll O'Connor's run as Archie Bunker, which began during 1971 with All in the Family. The Morning Show, hosted by Regis Philbin and Cyndy Garvey, premieres locally on WABC in New York City. The show would eventually make its move to national syndication in 1988 with Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford as his co host. April 7Major League Baseball agrees to terms with ABC and NBC on a six year television package, worth $1.2 billion. The two networks would continue to alternate coverage of the playoffs (ABC in even numbered years and NBC in odd numbered years), World Series (ABC would televise the World Series in odd numbered years and NBC in even numbered years) and All Star Game (ABC would televise the All Star Game in even numbered years and NBC in odd numbered years) through the 1989 season, with each of the 26 clubs receiving $7 million per year in return (even if no fans showed up). This was a substantial increase over the last package, in which each club was being paid $1.9 million per year. ABC contributed $575 million for the rights to televise prime time and Sunday afternoon regular season games and NBC paid $550 million for the rights to broadcast 30 Saturday afternoon games. April 9Vin Scully makes his debut as NBC's new lead play by play announcer for their Major League Baseball telecasts (a role that he would maintain through the 1989 season). Scully's first broadcast for NBC is a game between the Montreal Expos and Los Angeles Dodgers, where the Expos would defeat the Dodgers 7 2. April 12David Canary makes his first appearance on the ABC soap opera All My Children. April 18Disney Channel is initiated on American cable TV. The first show televised is Good Morning, Mickey!April 21WTWC TV in Tallahassee, Florida signs on, giving the Tallahassee market its first full time NBC affiliate. May 1 2V is broadcast by NBC.

ABC airs the broadcast network television premiere of The Shining. May 16The concert special Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever is broadcast by NBC; Michael Jackson, after a performance with The Jackson Five, provides the centerpiece highlight by performing, to "Billie Jean", his "moonwalk" dance for the first time on television. May 22CBS introduces a new theme music (composed by Allyson Bellink and mostly consisting of an uptempo series of four notes and three bars each) for their coverage of the NBA. It uses a primitive computer generated introduction (created by Bill Feigenbaum) of the NBA arenas (similar to the Boston Garden) until the 1989 Playoffs and later revived the second theme beginning in the 1989 Finals. May 29WVSB TV in West Point, Mississippi signs on, giving the Tupelo market its first full time ABC affiliate. June 7NBC affiliate in Miami/Fort Lauderdale, WCKT TV changes its call letters to WSVN. June 16Pope John Paul II arrives in his native Poland, with ABC and NBC broadcasting his arrival live (CBS, hampered by budget reductions of its news division, broadcasts The Price is Right instead). June 20KLDH (now KTKA TV) in Topeka, Kansas signs on, giving the Topeka market its first full time ABC affiliate. June 23Whitney Houston makes her national television debut when she performs on The Merv Griffin Show. August 4The cast of NBC's series Search for Tomorrow is forced to do a live show for the first time since the program began using videotape format during 1967 due to the loss of both the regular transmission tape and a backup. August 10KDVR TV, Denver's first UHF station goes on the air. August 12Denver's NBC station KOA TV changes its name to KCNC TV. August 22In Fargo, North Dakota, ABC affiliate KTHI TV (now KVLY TV) swaps affiliations with long time NBC affiliate WDAY TV and its semi satellite in Grand Forks, WDAZ TV. August 30Though the station is still regarded as profitable, Field Enterprises closes down WKBS TV/Burlington, New Jersey Philadelphia after failing to find a buyer. September 5PBS's series The MacNeil/Lehrer Report becomes The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, the first American network news program to expand from a half hour to one hour in length. Tom Brokaw becomes the sole main anchor of the NBC Nightly News, ending a 17 month stint co anchoring the broadcast with Roger Mudd. Peter Jennings becomes sole anchorman of ABC's newscast World News Tonight, after the death of Frank Reynolds two months earlier. Pam Long becomes co main writer of the CBS soap opera Guiding Light. September 5During the first half of a broadcast of Monday Night Football between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins, Howard Cosell refers to Washington wide receiver Alvin Garrett as a "little monkey". Cosell's remarks immediately ignites a racial controversy and plays a key factor in his departure from the Monday Night Football booth following the 1983 NFL season. September 8The comedy series We Got it Made debuts, the first new series on NBC's autumn list to premiere—and the start of one of the least successful new autumn show rosters for a network in history, as none of the series would survive a 2nd season (the other series being Manimal, Jennifer Slept Here, Mr. Smith, Bay City Blues, The Yellow Rose, Boone, For Love and Honor and The Rousters). September 12The animated G. I. Joe: A Real American Hero mini series based on the toys of the same name debuts in syndication. Another miniseries airs the following year, with an ongoing show premiering in 1985. September 17The Peanuts gang get their very own Saturday morning cartoon series with The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show on CBS.
