Alright, we got old Coke back, how about another American institution that is almost as important as Coke- the NBC peacock. I still haven't gotten used to hearing the beginning of the Tonight Show without first hearing "The following program is brought to you in living color, on NBC."

I agree that the ORIGINAL NBC peacock was a rather flashy
character, but NBC will probably not bring it back due to all the
expense they had trying to change it.
Remember, they replaced the peacock with a red/blue
'N' but were sued by other stations already using that logo.
Johnnie Carson joked about the new peacock as being the
'NBC capon' since it was missing more than its feet!

Funny you should mention the peacock. I read in a weekend paper that
NBC is phasing out the current "N" slowly. I don't know what they're
replacing it with.
