*Starting in 1999, a better known version debuted, which omits the light. The logo is redone and in a lighter shade of reddish-brown, and the font is smaller, with the metallic silver outline more visible. ''Now & Again'' continued to use the original version, and ''Walker, Texas Ranger'' continued to use the original version until its end in 2001. Interestingly enough, ''Snowden's Christmas'' used the original version on the VHS release despite the CBS premiere used the 1999 logo. | |||

*Since 2008, we hear a light orchestral sounder, played by low strings, low horns and a piano with a bang of a timpani and a clash of cymbals.
