'''DreamWorks Television''' was a television production arm of [[DreamWorks Pictures|DreamWorks, LLC]], established with the studio in 1994. Its first production, ''Champs'', aired in 1996, more than a year before the first DreamWorks movie was released. From its inception until the joint venture agreement ended in 2002, [[ABC National IDs|ABC]] owned a 50% stake in the TV studio. It eventually went with [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|Paramount Domestic Television]] to distribute its shows. Paramount would acquire DreamWorks in 2006, so [[CBS Studios|CBS Paramount Domestic Television]]/[[CBS Media Ventures|CBS Television Distribution]] (a part of CBS Corporation, which split from [[Viacom (1971-2006)|Viacom]] before the acquisition was completed) took over the complete rights to the DreamWorks Television library. DreamWorks broke apart from Viacom when its employees left to form the current version of DreamWorks. Currently, most of the pre-2008 DreamWorks Television library is owned by [[Paramount Pictures]], syndicated under Paramount Worldwide Television Licensing & Distribution or licensed to [[Trifecta Entertainment & Media]]. The current DreamWorks had its TV arm merged into [[Amblin Television]] sometime in 2013.

'''Availability:''' Common. It can be seen on quite a few shows such as ''The Contender'', ''Carpoolers'', ''Spin City'', ''On The Lot'', ''Boomtown'', ''Rescue Me'', ''Oliver Beene'', ''Toonsylvania'', ''Dog Bites Man'', ''Ink'' and the first 3 seasons of ''Falling Skies'', among others. The logo first appeared on ''Champs'', a series co-created by DreamWorks founders Steven Spielberg, Jeffery Katzenberg and David Geffen; over a year and a half before the debut of the theatrical logo. This logo does not appear on ''Band of Brothers'' or newer prints of ''Freaks and Geeks'', as they use the still version of the theatrical logo instead. Foreign prints of ''Evolution: The Animated Series'' do not have this logo either, instead having the [[Sony Pictures Television|Columbia TriStar Television]] logo ([[Columbia Pictures|Columbia]] co-released the movie and therefore has overseas rights), whereas the US version (known as ''Alienators: Evolution Continues'') had this logo along with the [[DIC Entertainment|Incredible World of DiC]] logo prior to the Fox Kids-style compressed credits (reruns of the series on This TV plastered the DiC logo with [[Cookie Jar Entertainment|Cookie Jar]]'s logo).
