Nope, they DID use footage from the NBC show.to promote the Mike Darrow version.

I also was disappointed when the version turned out to be new, and not the old one.

I was too, but it got immediate points for using the Shoot For The Stars theme (where's my onion?), and Mike Darow grew on me in a hurry.

And I quite enjoyed the travel music employed when they swapped contestants in the '85 version

Same. Felt like a holdover from Chain Reaction.

Not exactly an example, but when reading TV Guide at 5 years old, for some reason it didn't gel with me that "To Be Announced" wasn't the name of an actual show. I was always left curious as to what a show named that would be like.
I figured it was a show where they announced local events and such. Since it sounded very boring, I never tuned in to see what it really was.

In true Cobert fashion, it's a holdover from Supertrain:
