Big Ticket Television (also known as "Big Ticket Entertainment" and "Big Ticket Pictures, Inc.") was created by the [[Spelling Television|Spelling Entertainment Group]] in 1994 as a low-budget unit that produces half-hour sitcoms and reality shows. Founder Larry Lyttle wanted to name the company Blockbuster Television, who at the time owned the Spelling group and was owned by [[Viacom (pre-2006)|Viacom]]; however, Viacom vetoed the idea, so Lyttle went with "Big Ticket" instead, after Blockbuster's iconic logo. They produced ''Moesha'' and its spin-off ''The Parkers'' for UPN (now The CW) as well as the daily syndicated court shows ''Judge Judy'', ''Judge Joe Brown'' and later on in 2014 ''Hot Bench''. When Viacom acquired Spelling in 1999, Big Ticket Television became a label of the [[Paramount Television (1967-2006)|Paramount Television]] Group. Today, Big Ticket Television is an in-name-only unit of [[ViacomCBS]]'s [[CBS Studios]]. | Big Ticket Television (also known as "Big Ticket Entertainment" and "Big Ticket Pictures, Inc.") was created by the [[Spelling Television|Spelling Entertainment Group]] in 1994 as a low-budget unit that produces half-hour sitcoms and reality shows.
