While at NBC, Weaver established many operating practices that became standard for network television; he introduced the practice of networks producing their own television programs and selling advertising time during the broadcasts. Prior to this, advertising agencies usually developed each show for a particular client. Because commercial slots could now more easily be sold to more than one corporate sponsor for each program, a single advertiser pulling out of a program would not necessarily threaten it. Weaver also created several series for the network, Today (in 1952), <a href="/wiki/Tonight_Starring_Steve_Allen" title="Tonight Starring Steve Allen">Tonight Starring Steve Allen</a> (in 1954, the first program in the Tonight Show franchise), Home (1954) and Wide Wide World (1955). Weaver strongly believed that broadcasting should educate as well as entertain, and required NBC shows to typically include at least one sophisticated cultural reference or performance per installment – including a segment of a Giuseppe Verdi opera adapted in the comedic style of <a href="/wiki/Sid_Caesar" title="Sid Caesar">Sid Caesar</a> and <a href="/wiki/Imogene_Coca" title="Imogene Coca">Imogene Coca</a>'s groundbreaking <a href="/wiki/Your_Show_of_Shows" title="Your Show of Shows">Your Show of Shows</a>. Weaver did not ignore NBC Radio and gave it a shot in the arm in 1955, at a time when network radio was dying and giving way to television, when he developed NBC Monitor, a weekend-long magazine-style block featuring an array of news, music, comedy, drama and sports, with rotating advertisers and some of the most memorable names in broadcast journalism, entertainment and sports that ran until 1975 (20 years after Weaver's departure). Weaver departed shortly afterward, following disputes with NBC chairman David Sarnoff, who believed that his ideas were either too expensive or too <a href="/wiki/Highbrow" title="Highbrow">highbrow</a> for company tastes. His respective successors, Robert Sarnoff and Robert Kintner standardized the network's programming practices with far less of the ambitiousness that characterized the Weaver years. </td></tr> <tr> <td><a href="/wiki/Robert_E._Kintner" title="Robert E.

His three-year tenure at the network proved to be a difficult period for the network, marked by several high-profile failures such as Hello, Larry, Pink Lady and Jeff, Supertrain and the <a href="/wiki/Jean_Doumanian" title="Jean Doumanian">Jean Doumanian</a> era of Saturday Night Live (Silverman hired Doumanian after Al Franken, the planned successor for outgoing creator/executive producer Lorne Michaels, castigated Silverman's failures in a sketch on the program<a href="#cite_note-shales-53">[53]</a>). Despite these failures, high points during Silverman's tenure included the launch of Hill Street Blues and the miniseries Shōgun. He also brought David Letterman to the network to host daytime talker <a href="/wiki/The_David_Letterman_Show" title="The David Letterman Show">The David Letterman Show</a>, two years before the debut of Letterman's successful <a href="/wiki/Late_Night_with_David_Letterman" title="Late Night with David Letterman">late night program</a> in 1982, after Silverman negotiated a holding deal after the former's cancellation to keep Letterman from going to another network. However, Silverman nearly lost late-night leader Johnny Carson, who filed a lawsuit against NBC during a contract dispute with the network; the case was settled out of court and Carson remained with NBC in exchange for acquiring the rights to his show and permission to reduce his time on-air (leading to the use of guest hosts on The Tonight Show such as <a href="/wiki/Joan_Rivers" title="Joan Rivers">Joan Rivers</a> and his immediate successor, Jay Leno).<a href="#cite_note-54">[54]</a> Silverman also developed successful sitcoms such as Diff'rent Strokes, The Facts of Life and Gimme a Break!, and made the series commitments that led to Cheers and St. Elsewhere. Silverman also pioneered the reality television genre with the 1979 debut of Real People. His contributions to the network's game show output included the <a href="/wiki/Mark_Goodson_Productions" class="mw-redirect" title="Mark Goodson Productions">Goodson-Todman</a>-produced <a href="/wiki/Card_Sharks" title="Card Sharks">Card Sharks</a> and a revival of Password, both of which enjoyed great success as part of the morning schedule, although he also canceled several other relatively popular series, including The Hollywood Squares and <a href="/wiki/High_Rollers" title="High Rollers">High Rollers</a>, to make way for The David Letterman Show (those cancellations also threatened Wheel of Fortune, whose host, <a href="/wiki/Chuck_Woolery" title="Chuck Woolery">Chuck Woolery</a>, left in a payment dispute during Silverman's tenure, although the show survived). Silverman also oversaw, while simultaneously objecting to, the hiring of <a href="/wiki/Pat_Sajak" title="Pat Sajak">Pat Sajak</a> as the new host of Wheel (Sajak remains as the host to this day in its syndicated incarnation).<a href="#cite_note-55">[55]</a> On Saturday mornings, at a time when there was much similarity in animated content on the major networks, Silverman oversaw the development of an <a href="/wiki/The_Smurfs_(1981_TV_series)" title="The Smurfs (1981 TV series)">animated series</a> based on <a href="/wiki/The_Smurfs" title="The Smurfs">The Smurfs</a> (which ran from 1981 to 1989, well after Silverman's departure, making it one of his longest-lasting contributions to the network) as well as <a href="/wiki/The_Flintstone_Comedy_Show_(1980)" class="mw-redirect" title="The Flintstone Comedy Show (1980)">a revival of The Flintstones</a>. In addition, Silverman revitalized the NBC News division, helping Today and NBC Nightly News achieve parity with their competition for the first time in years; and created a new FM radio division with competitive stations in New York City, Chicago, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. During his NBC tenure, Silverman also brought in an entirely new divisional and corporate management team, which remained in place long after Silverman's departure (among this group was Brandon Tartikoff, who as President of Entertainment, would help get NBC back on top by 1985). Silverman also reintroduced the peacock as NBC's corporate logo in 1979. </td></tr> <tr> <td><a href="/wiki/Brandon_Tartikoff" title="Brandon Tartikoff">Brandon Tartikoff</a></td> <td>1981–1991</td> <td>Tartikoff was hired as a program executive at ABC in 1976.

At the time Tartikoff took over, NBC was mired in last place behind ABC and CBS, and faced a looming writers' strike and affiliates defecting to other networks (mostly to ABC); Little House on the Prairie, Diff'rent Strokes and Real People were the only prime time shows the network had in the Nielsen Top 20. Also of issue, Johnny Carson was reportedly in talks to move his landmark late-night talk show to ABC; while the original cast and writing staff of Saturday Night Live had left the show, and their replacements had earned SNL some of its worst reviews. By 1982, Tartikoff and network president Grant Tinker gradually turned the network's fortunes around.<a href="#cite_note-BrandonAutoBio-57">[57]</a> Tartikoff's successes as President of Entertainment included The Cosby Show (Tartikoff had pursued actor-comedian <a href="/wiki/Bill_Cosby" title="Bill Cosby">Bill Cosby</a> to create a comedy <a href="/wiki/Pilot_episode" class="mw-redirect" title="Pilot episode">pilot</a> after having been impressed by the comedian's stories when Cosby was a guest host on The Tonight Show), the iconic 1980s drama Miami Vice (Tartikoff wrote a <a href="/wiki/Brainstorming" title="Brainstorming">brainstorming</a> <a href="/wiki/Memorandum" title="Memorandum">memo</a> that simply read "<a href="/wiki/MTV" title="MTV">MTV</a> <a href="/wiki/Police" title="Police">cops</a>", and later presented it to former Hill Street Blues writer/producer <a href="/wiki/Anthony_Yerkovich" title="Anthony Yerkovich">Anthony Yerkovich</a>, who turned into the concept behind Miami Vice).<a href="#cite_note-makingofvice-58">[58]</a><a href="#cite_note-coolcops-59">[59]</a><a href="#cite_note-memo-60">[60]</a><a href="#cite_note-nbcmiamivice-61">[61]</a> and Knight Rider (which was inspired by a perceived lack of leading men who could act, with Tartikoff suggesting that a talking car could fill in the gaps in any leading man's acting abilities).<a href="#cite_note-BrandonAutoBio-57">[57]</a> While Family Ties was undergoing its casting process, Tartikoff was unexcited about <a href="/wiki/Michael_J._Fox" title="Michael J.
