:* It's been spotted on ''Family Ties'' and most episodes of ''Happy Days'' when last seen on Hub Network (now Discovery Family), INSP TV, and Me-TV. It was seen on some episodes of ''Friday the 13th: The Series'' on Chiller (but not on DVD, nor on local airings), the first two seasons of ''MacGyver'' on Cloo, Me-TV and Netflix, and on the first and second season DVD releases of ''MacGyver'' from [[Paramount Home Media Distribution|Paramount Home Entertainment]]. It also appears on recent DVD releases of the first four seasons of ''Webster'' from Shout! Factory (the Paramount logo on S1 would be the standard version with 1979 music [standard version meaning the one with the space between the mountain and "Paramount"] and the Paramount logo on a few S2 episodes and the entire 4th season would use the 1982 tall-peaked variant, though on some international reruns and DVD episodes, it would use the standard version). Other programs it was seen on was 1981-1987 episodes of ''Solid Gold'' (the silent 1995 Domestic logo plasters over this logo on VH1 airings from 1998-99), DVD releases of ''Angie'', ''Best of the West'', ''Future Cop'', ''The Bad News Bears'', ''The Powers of Matthew Star'', season 2 of ''Petrocelli'' (on DVD and on AXN Crime airings), ''Having Babies III'' on Amazon Prime Video, and ''The Winds of War'' miniseries on DVD. This logo is also retained on the DVD's and Blu-rays of ''Tinker Tailor Solider Spy'' (the 1979 BBC TV series) and its sequel ''Smiley's People'', as well as the short-lived Leslie Nielsen sitcom ''Police Squad!'' and the 1980 miniseries ''Shōgun''. Internationally, this logo also made a surprise appearance at the end of Australian airings of some episodes of both ''Mork & Mindy'' and ''Laverne & Shirley'', as well as an episode of ''Taxi''. On VHS, this is retained on ''Mork & Mindy'' Vol. 1 (and possibly other volumes) and the silent version can be found on the VHS and the PAL DVD release of ''A Woman Called Golda''. It is unknown if this was seen on 1970s/1980s prints of The Lucy Show. Paramount (Viacom) had updated this logo with either the 1995 or 2003 Domestic logos, and even syndicated reruns of ''Cheers'' (once known as the best source of the logo) have been replaced with the 1995 Domestic logo, although one local rerun episode of Cheers from S5 called "Norm's First Hurrah" and Aussie airings of most season 5 episodes of said show retained this logo. However, any new prints on local broadcast and later DVD prints would have this logo replaced by the [[CBS Television Distribution]] logo. | :* It's been spotted on ''Family Ties'' and most episodes of ''Happy Days'' when last seen on Hub Network (now Discovery Family), INSP TV, and Me-TV.
