After Bud Yorkin ended his partnership with Norman Lear, he formed his own production company joining forces with writers and producers Saul Turteltaub and Bernie Orenstein under the name of "Bud Yorkin Productions, Inc." in 1975. However, the series like ''What's Happening!!'' would have Yorkin's copyright stamp on the show. After ''Grady'' was canceled a year later, Yorkin, Turtletaub, and Orenstein established "TOY Productions". Yorkin however, was still involved with Tandem Productions as executive vice president. | |||

TOY Productions was a new production company formed by the same TV producers Saul Turteltaub, Bernie Orenstein, and Bud Yorkin (hence the initials of the company) in 1976 after Grady was canceled and Bud Yorkin Productions became an in-name-only division. On February 19, 1979, TOY Productions was acquired by Columbia Pictures Television (now "Sony Pictures Television") and was folded in 1982 after the cancellation of ''One of the Boys''. | |||
