* Some syndicated broadcasts of this logo have a shorter version of the music, only playing the second half. This was due in part because of the splice edit method that was commonplace on early film prints of their shows. | * Some syndicated broadcasts of this logo have a shorter version of the music, only playing the second half.

* The logo with the theme has been restored on the 2014 [[Mill Creek Entertainment]] DVD re-release of the first and second seasons of ''T.J. Hooker'', and without the [[Sony Pictures Television]] logo at all (the original Sony Pictures Home Entertainment 2005 release had the logo replaced with the SPT logo). The logo appears silent at the end of the ''Barney Miller'' series finale "Landmark, Part 3" on the 2011 Shout! Factory complete DVD series set. This logo can be seen on the ''Father Knows Best'' reunion special ''Home for Christmas'', last seen on GetTV and Sony Movie Channel. It also appears on seasons 3 and 4 of ''Police Woman''. Also spotted on a Sony Movie Channel airing of ''Last of the Good Guys''. | * The logo with the theme has been restored on the 2014 [[Mill Creek Entertainment]] DVD re-release of the first and second seasons of ''T.J.

* Local reruns would have the 1988 Distribution logo on several ''Good Times'' episodes, which would also appear on S1 on DVD and on Antenna TV, followed by the SPT logo.

* The 1982 logo can be seen on DVD in many places: the 1982 mini-series ''The Blue and the Gray'', the 1985 version of ''Alice in Wonderland'', several S2 episodes of ''Fantasy Island'' on DVD released from Shout! Factory, with music on most episodes on the season 4 DVD release of ''Punky Brewster'' from Shout! Factory and on Peacock, and without music (also plastering the Paramount logo) on a 1994 VHS of ''Road to Bali'' from Video Treasures. A 16mm B/W copy of this logo was seen on some syndicated prints of ''The Three Stooges'' short "Boobs in Arms", replacing the Screen Gems logo. | * The 1982 logo can be seen on DVD in many places: the 1982 mini-series ''The Blue and the Gray'', the 1985 version of ''Alice in Wonderland'', several S2 episodes of ''Fantasy Island'' on DVD released from Shout!

* The B&W variant of the 1982 logo can be seen on some episodes of ''The Donna Reed Show'' on Me-TV, and some movies on Antenna TV including ''Last Train from Bombay''; the B&W variant of the 1988 logo can be seen at the end of all episodes on the ''Bewitched'' VHS release titled "Love That Witch". The B&W 1982 Coca-Cola byline variant can also be seen on select reruns - mostly from season 2 - of ''Naked City'' on both Tubi and (as of this posting) Retro TV's daytime schedule. This variant usually plasters the original Screen Gems torch lady logo during the announcement by Harry Cohn; as a result, the Columbia Pictures Television logo fades out sooner and the remaining theme music is heard for about 5 seconds after fading out. | * The B&W variant of the 1982 logo can be seen on some episodes of ''The Donna Reed Show'' on Me-TV, and some movies on Antenna TV including ''Last Train from Bombay''; the B&W variant of the 1988 logo can be seen at the end of all episodes on the ''Bewitched'' VHS release titled "Love That Witch".

This was likely due to being a rushed job, resulting in terrible 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). | ||
