Metromedia Producers Corporation: Difference between revisions

* Sometimes, a generic theme was used. One example is the 1979 [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|PTV]] theme heard instead on early-to-mid-1970s prints of ''That Girl'', presumably because of an editing mistake.

* The logo survives on a few Alpha Video DVD prints of ''Dusty's Trail'', DVD releases of ''Go Ask Alice'', and on FX Movie Channel's prints of ''Honor Thy Father'' and ''It's Good to Be Alive''.

* The opening variant is rare, and was originally seen on movies, such as ''Tales from the Crypt'' and ''Chosen Survivors''.

'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' On ''The Merv Griffin Show'', an announcer (Arthur Teacher/Chet Gould) says "''The Merv (Griffin) Show'' is a [[Merv Griffin Enterprises|Merv Griffin Production]], in association with Metromedia Producers Corporation. This program was recorded.".

* The in-credit logos would remain intact on certain television films like ''Terror on the 40th Floor'' and ''The Norliss Tapes'', the nightly syndicated ''The Merv Griffin Show'', and game shows like ''The Cross-Wits''.

*Recently, the in-credit version has been sighted on ''Where Have All the People Gone?'' and ''Terror on the 40th Floor'' on FX Movie Channel.

* The music variant has a synth crescendo when the lines wipe, and a loud boom sound effect when the words appear as the synth fades out.

* The logo only appeared on a few TV movies from the era, and syndie prints of most [[Spelling Television|Spelling]] (including the [[Spelling-Goldberg Productions|S-G]] ones) shows and TV movies during the time frame. One example was the pilot episode of ''Dynasty'', which hasn't been seen in years.

* The variant with music was spotted on the TV special ''Santa's Magic Toy Bag'', which was intact on a December 1990 Nickelodeon airing.
