*On ''The Greatest '70s Cop Shows'', the short [[Columbia TriStar Television|Columbia TriStar Television Distribution]] theme was heard on the pilot of ''Police Woman'' and it was also heard on ''Gidget Grows Up'', and the long Columbia TriStar Television Distribution theme was heard on the pilot of ''Starsky & Hutch''. This was the fact that it was a rushed job due to horrible plastering. The short CTTD theme is also heard on ''The Jeff Foxworthy Show'' on TBS, ''The Dana Carvey Show'' episode "The Mug Root Beer Dana Carvey Show" on DVD, and episode 5 of season 1 of ''The New Gidget'' on CTV Throwback (plastering the 1982 variant of the 4th logo). | * On ''The Greatest '70s Cop Shows'', the short [[Columbia TriStar Television|Columbia TriStar Television Distribution]] theme was heard on the pilot of ''Police Woman'' and it was also heard on ''Gidget Grows Up'', and the long Columbia TriStar Television Distribution theme was heard on the pilot of ''Starsky & Hutch''.

*On ''Beakman's World'' (1992-1993), the 1988 theme is somewhat distorted by the toy rocket's noises. In September 1993, due to Columbia changing the musical jingle for the television logo, the rocket is the only noise to hear throughout the CPT's logo silence until New Year's Day 1994 (all the way until June 1995 until it began to use the 1994 Columbia TriStar Television logo) when the new theme finally appeared on the second season, along with the rocket. | * On ''Beakman's World'' (1992-1993), the 1988 theme is somewhat distorted by the toy rocket's noises.
