'''Availability:''' It's on the end credits of almost all 1982 episodes of ''The Facts of Life'', ''The Jeffersons'', ''One Day at a Time'', and ''Silver Spoons''. ''Square Pegs'' used this until 1983. As an in-credit logo, it is usually left alone. However, TV One prints of ''The Jeffersons'' omit the logo, cutting straight to the SPT logo after the Embassy copyright notice, but it's retained on most early season 9 episodes that had this on FOX Retro in Italy (translated as "I Jefferson"). The all-text version can be seen on the pilot episodes of ''Square Pegs'' and ''Silver Spoons''. The in-credit text was used again in 1985 on two of the ''227'' episodes "Pity the Poor Working Girl" and "Football Widow", before the 1984 Embassy Television logo appears. The in-credit logo was first used on The Facts of Life Goes to Paris. | '''Availability:''' It's on the end credits of almost all 1982 episodes of ''The Facts of Life'', ''The Jeffersons'', ''One Day at a Time'', and ''Silver Spoons''.

Factory DVD release, all season 2 episodes of ''227'', and all season 3 episodes of ''Who's the Boss?'' both on Amazon. The gray "☆E" dark variant is extremely rare and can be seen on ''Guilty of Innocence: The Lennell Geter Story'', in which the Sony Pictures Choice Collection DVD-R as well as recent broadcasts of Sony Movie Channel retains it. The 1987 version is ultra rare and was originally seen on season 1 and early season 2 episodes of ''Married... With Children'' (the last being "You Better Watch Out"), the short-lived sitcom ''The Charmings'', 1987 episodes of ''Who's the Boss?'', ''227'', ''The Facts of Life'', and the short-lived sitcom ''Women in Prison'' before January 2, 1988. This was also used to plaster older Embassy Television logos as sighted in a rerun of a season 1 episode of Double Trouble and some season 5 episodes of ''Silver Spoons''. But most reruns and the DVDs of ''Married... With Children'' have it plastered over with the SPT logo. However, it is retained on The ''Facts of Life'' S9 episode "Adventures in Baileysitting" and the first episode of ''The Jeffersons'' on TV One called "A Friend in Need". It was surprisingly retained on a few S8 episodes of ''One Day at a Time'' on Antenna TV reruns, but are obscured due to split-screen credit crunching. | ||
