Shōgun (TV Spot, 1993) – Richard Chamberlain Mini-Series Promo | TBS Superstation VHS Rip

🈶🏯 "An epic tale of honor, betrayal... and survival." Relive the drama, danger, and dubbing with this vintage TBS Superstation promo for the legendary miniseries Shōgun, starring Richard Chamberlain as English navigator John Blackthorne.

Broadcast on TBS in 1993, this TV spot is a time capsule of early cable network aesthetics—deep voiceovers, slow crossfades, and thunderous taiko drums. Originally aired to promote a rebroadcast of the Emmy-winning 1980 miniseries, this ad has that distinct Superstation style: bold fonts, grainy film clips, and that unmistakable TBS flair.

🎴 Highlights:

Iconic voiceover work (likely Ernie Anderson or a soundalike)
Classic TBS bumper graphics
Grainy footage from the miniseries with dramatic overtones
A reminder of when cable was event television
📼 Digitized from VHS, sourced from a home-recorded tape of TBS programming in 1993. Part of the Sleepover Trading Company’s ongoing effort to preserve analog TV ephemera.
