Founder Larry Lyttle wanted to name the company Blockbuster Television after Blockbuster, who at the time owned the Spelling group and was owned by [[Viacom (1952-2006)|Viacom]]; however, Viacom vetoed the idea, so Lyttle went with "Big Ticket" instead, after Blockbuster's 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''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 [[Paramount Global]]'s [[CBS Studios]]. | ||
