Abstract

ON SEPTEMBER 17, 1984—WITH JUST 5O DAYS TO GO TO ELECTION DAY— the TV

production company Lorimar announced that Dallas, the serialized drama of greed and power in
Texas and at the time “the most popular program on television,”1 would go into syndication in 112
media markets. On the same day, the League of Women Voters announced that it had concluded an
agreement to sponsor two 90-minute televised debates between President Reagan and his
Democrat opponent in the upcoming election, former vice president Walter Mondale, as well as one
debate between the two vice presidential candidates— George Bush and Geraldine Ferraro. And as
folk settled down to watch their TVs that evening—maybe Dynasty, Knots Landing, the Cosby Show,
or even Dallas— they saw a new TV ad put out by the Reagan-Bush campaign. Its official title was
“Prouder, Stronger, Better,” but it has gone down in electoral folklore under a different title, taken from
its opening five words:
AUDIO: “It’s morning again in America.”
VIDEO: Picture of a city harbor at daybreak. A fishing boat goes to work.
AUDIO: “Today, more men and women will go to work than ever before in our country’s history. With
interest rates at about half the record highs of 1980, nearly 2,000 families today will buy new homes,
more than at any time in the past four years.”
VIDEO: Various shots of people at work and a man and young boy carrying a new carpet into a home.
AUDIO: “This afternoon 6,500 men and women will be married. And with inflation at less than half of
what it was just four years ago, they can look forward with confidence to the future.”
VIDEO: Stereotypical scenes of a small-town wedding, ending with the happy couple kissing.
AUDIO: “It’s morning again in America. And, under the leadership of President Reagan, our country is
prouder, and stronger, and better. Why would we ever want to return to where we were less than four
short years ago?”
VIDEO: The U.S. Capitol at night, plus various scenes featuring flag-raising. Closing picture of
Reagan next to the American flag, accompanied by the words, “President Reagan: Leadership That’s
Working.”2
