'''Miller-Boyett Productions''' | '''Miller-Boyett Productions''' was the production company of program executives Thomas L. '''Miller''' and Robert L. '''Boyett''', formed through a renaming of [[Miller-Milkis-Boyett Productions]] after Edward K. Milkis left the company in 1985. Miller and Boyett moved from [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|Paramount Television]] to [[Lorimar Productions]], and later [[Lorimar-Telepictures]], [[Lorimar Television]] and [[Warner Bros. Television Studios|Warner Bros. Television]]. Under their new partnership with Lorimar/Warner, Miller and Boyett executive-produced ''The Hogan Family'' (originally ''Valerie'' and ''Valerie's Family''), ''Full House'', ''Perfect Strangers'', ''Family Matters'' (a spin-off of ''Perfect Strangers'') and ''Step by Step'', among others. They also worked with fellow partners William Bickley and Michael Warren (who owned [[Bickley/Warren Productions]]) on the latter two shows. | ||
In 1997, Warren ended his partnership with Bickley and joined Miller and Boyett, renaming the company [[Miller-Boyett-Warren Productions]], though the Miller-Boyett name remained in use until ''Family Matters'' and ''Step by Step'' ended their runs (as part of the "CBS Block Party", a Friday night comedy block on [[CBS]] which both shows moved to after being cancelled by [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]). The Miller-Boyett name was later brought back in 2016 for the ''Full House'' continuation ''Fuller House'' (which ran until 2020) and in 2023 for the animated movie ''Urkel Saves Santa: The Movie!'', which is based on ''Family Matters''. | In 1997, Warren ended his partnership with Bickley and joined Miller and Boyett, renaming the company [[Miller-Boyett-Warren Productions]], though the Miller-Boyett name remained in use until ''Family Matters'' and ''Step by Step'' ended their runs (as part of the "CBS Block Party", a Friday night comedy block on [[CBS]] which both shows moved to after being cancelled by [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]).
