Remember when movies on network TV were a big deal? This opening below conveys that better than any other ever did:
YES! It must be time for Star Trek II, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, a Bond or Superman movie. ABC always got the blockbusters; they needed to with an opening this good. I love the strings at the start of the music, they create an incredible amount of tension and anticipation for a mere movie bumper. This clip also answers the question of what an America flag going Warp 5 looks like.
According a YouTube commenter, the music was composed by Ferdinand J. Smith. The announcer from Dynasty promo at the end was the late Ernie Anderson, who ranks up there with John Facenda for best voices ever. He was also father of Paul Thomas Anderson.
