* When shown in black & white, the standard scheme appears to be a {{font color|lightgray|light gray}} screen and black "'''''S'''''" and words. When shown in color, the standard scheme appears to be a {{font color|gold|yellow}} screen, {{font color|red|red}} "'''S'''", and black words. The words may or may not have actually been red at one time as well. On some prints of ''The Partridge Family'', the "'''''S'''''" and the words were both black, attributed by some to film deterioration.

At the same time, other Screen Gems shows carried the normal color scheme (as did ''The Partridge Family'' when it was rerun on Hallmark Channel).
