After Bud Yorkin ended his partnership with Norman Lear, he formed his own production company joining forces with writers and producers Saul Turteltaub and Bernie Orenstein under the name of "'''Bud Yorkin Productions, Inc.'''" in 1975. However, the series like ''What's Happening!!'' would have Yorkin's copyright stamp on the show. After ''Grady'' was canceled a year later, '''T'''urtletaub, '''O'''renstein, and '''Y'''orkin established "'''TOY Productions'''". Yorkin however, was still involved with Tandem Productions as executive vice president. On February 19, 1979, TOY Productions was acquired by Columbia Pictures Television (now "Sony Pictures Television") and was folded in 1982 after the cancellation of ''One of the Boys''. | After Bud Yorkin ended his partnership with Norman Lear, he formed his own production company joining forces with writers and producers Saul Turteltaub and Bernie Orenstein under the name of "'''Bud Yorkin Productions, Inc.'''" in 1975.
