Lorimar was formed initially as "Lorimar Productions" on February 1, 1969 by Merv Adelson, Irwin Molasky, and producer Lee Rich, who named the company after Adelson's ex-wife '''Lori''', and San Diego, California's Palo'''mar''' Airport. Their first production was the TV movie ''The Homecoming'' (now owned by CBS Television Studios), based on the book by Earl Hamner. Their first logo did not appear until 1971 when ''The Waltons'' premiered. On April 21, 1986, it merged with [[Telepictures Productions|Telepictures Corporation]] and later became Lorimar-Telepictures Corporation (or just simply "[[Lorimar-Telepictures]]"). In 1987, the television production companies were later split back in two companies and Lorimar was reincorporated as Lorimar Television, but "Lorimar-Telepictures" remained as the name for their parent company. On January 12, 1989, Warner Communications (later "Time Warner", now "WarnerMedia") acquired Lorimar-Telepictures and both distribution arms were folded into Warner Bros. Television Distribution by forming "Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution" and continued producing the surviving TV shows. The Lorimar name continued until mid-1993, when it was folded into Warner Bros. Television. However, WBTV continued producing the remaining programs under its name.

'''Editor's Note''': Generally speaking, this is noted for its unique design and jingle, but also for its unpolished animation with a noticeable error, as part of the "P" appears before it is animated!

'''Logo:''' On a white background, two logos fade in. The top being the one for Green/Epstein Productions (a giant green stylized "GE" with the company name Green Epstein Productions/Lorimar Television underneath the "E") and the bottom being the print logo for Lorimar Television (which is based off the next logo used below with "A LORIMAR TELEPICTURES COMPANY" byline below). In between the two logos are the words "in association with".

'''Editor's Note:''' A very unique appearance of the print logo, and something of a predecessor of the Marble logo.
