BlueTiger10, here! I am here to tell you about my discovery with Smurfs, during my visit to the NBC Experience Store in Manhattan.
These are Smurf figures by Schleich. Available in Zodiac, Movie, and Anniversary.
Smurfs' T-Shirts are also in stock.
Then, there's a hamper of Smurf plushes.
And then, we have a shelf full of Smurfs.
This is a little reminder that NBC used to air Smurfs on Saturday mornings. Now because of the 2011 movie, we're diving back to their nostalgia of Smurfs' Pop Culture from 1981 to 1989.
You can also upload NBC Smurf promos, more Smurfy images at NBC Store or in NBC images. Smurfs on NBC are Proud as Peacocks!

All he lacks is the flower in his hat, so we can say "it's Vanity as the NBC peacock".

Well spoken, Smurfy1For2.
Plus if you look closely, you'll find Azrael in the basket among the Smurfs.

Did you ever find Smurfs Channel "Smurfing" on NBC TV?
The Smurfs are going 'Channel Smurfing'!
The Smurfs Take Over NBC Universal / NBC / USA / E! / Bravo / SyFy
NEW YORK – July 28, 2011
NBCUniversal has joined forces with Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation to encourage viewers to go “Channel Smurfing” with a multiplatform advertising campaign spanning nine NBCUniversal properties promoting “The Smurfs®,” the hybrid live-action/computer-animated family comedy coming to theaters July 29th.
Produced by NBCUniversal in close collaboration with the studio and filmmakers, which created custom animation for the project, the on-air and digital campaign combines in-show integrations, custom promos, digital extensions and sneak peeks at the film.
The Smurfs first gained wide attention from US audiences as part of NBC’s Saturday morning line-up.
The two-week campaign kicked off July 18 with a special 30-second spot featuring the Smurfs taking over an NBCUniversal control room. The pieces were specific to the channel on which they aired and encouraged viewers to tune in for custom channel spots and never-before-seen clips of “The Smurfs.”
Participating networks include NBC, Bravo, Oxygen, USA, Syfy, The Weather Channel, E!, NBC Owned Television Stations and the Telemundo Local Television Stations, as well as the various channels’ digital properties.
Commenting on the announcement, Stefanie Napoli, executive vice president, Media for Sony Pictures, said, “NBCUniversal has been a wonderful partner as the networks, the studio and the filmmakers came together to create an innovative, funny and attention-grabbing integrated campaign that truly captures the creativity, humor and tone of this family-friendly film. It’s also fitting that this promotion is with NBCUniversal, as NBC was the network that first introduced the Smurfs to a wide audience in America.”
The custom spots and show integrations included a visit by the Smurfs to NBC’s “America’s Got Talent,” where the Smurfs interacted with the show’s judges; a vignette featuring Bravo’s “Real Housewives of New Jersey” revealing which Smurf they most identify with; a Smurfs Character Countdown on USA, with in-depth profiles of some of the Smurf characters; a special Imagination Transformation on Syfy that brings the Smurfs to life in the vast Syfy white space and custom spots on The Weather Channel.
“We’re excited to partner with Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation on this effort that not only showcases the extensive promotional power of our portfolio, but also highlights the type of creative campaign we can achieve when we partner with our clients to both entertain and engage consumers. This was a great collaboration, and it was fun too!” said Barbara Blangiardi, senior vice president, Creative Partnerships & Innovation, NBCUniversal.
In addition to the on-air spots, the various channels’ websites are featuring special online quizzes and extensions that promote the movie and drive show tune in. Six different digital sites – nbc.com, bravotv.com, oxygen.com, syfy.com, usanetwork.com and accesshollywood.com –will also feature two main “Blue Outs,” turning blue in anticipation of the debut of the movie.
The Smurfs make their first 3D trip to the big screen in Columbia Pictures/Sony Pictures Animation’s hybrid live-action and animated family comedy, The Smurfs. When the evil wizard Gargamel chases the Smurfs out of their village, through a magical portal, and into our world, they land in the middle of New York’s Central Park. Just three apples high and stuck in the Big Apple, the Smurfs must find a way to get back to their village before Gargamel tracks them down. Directed by Raja Gosnell. The producer is Jordan Kerner. The screenplay is by J. David Stem & David N. Weiss and Jay Scherick & David Ronn from a story by J. David Stem & David N. Weiss, based on the Characters and Works of Peyo.
