Paramount Television (1967-2006): Difference between revisions

* A variant of this logo with the "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''''75th''''' {{color|#EDD602|'''''Anniversary'''''}}}}" text appears on late 1987 episodes of ''Entertainment Tonight''.

* At the end of a 1987 outtake reel of ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'', the 1987 75th logo is shown first as a still picture, then the logo is seen animating in reverse, beginning with the "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''''75th''''' {{color|#EDD602|'''''Anniversary'''''}}}}" text fading out and continuing to the stars rolling and flying away. The logo then cuts to a clip of another mountain exploding from an episode of said show.

* A special bylineless version exists, which appears on a ''Star Trek: Voyager'' special and on the opening of some episodes from [[CINAR]]'s (now "[[WildBrain]]") ''The Busy World of Richard Scarry''.

* This logo can either be in 4:3 or 16:9 (only the 1995 network variant has a 16:9 variation, which debuted in 1999).

* A grayscale variation of the 1995 Domestic logo also exists, which appears on black & white syndicated reruns such as on ''The Andy Griffith Show'', ''My Three Sons'', ''The Beverly Hillbillies'', and ''The Honeymooners'' on TV Land, and mid-90's prints of ''The Wild Wild West'' though most B&W shows use the color version instead (such as ''Have Gun, Will Travel'' prints and non-TV Land airings of B&W ''Gunsmoke'' episodes).

* The 1995 network variant often appears with a noticeably chyroned Viacom byline, and is a still variant.

* Starting in 1990 on ''Entertainment Tonight'', this logo appears in-credit, inside the area where superimposed footage plays during the credits.  

* On ''The Busy World of Richard Scarry'', the logo appears at the beginning with the show's theme playing in the background, and the mountain fades into a mountain in the show.

* A zoomed-in variant of the domestic version of this logo exists, which appears on 2000s prints of ''The Invaders''.

* The first two episodes of Season 3 of ''Friday the 13th: The Series'' have the animated clouds on the 1989 gold Paramount Communications variant.

* A filmed version also exists.

** 1995 domestic logo with 1966, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1972, 1976, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, and 1982 themes. The 1978 theme variant appears on most episodes of ''Mork & Mindy'' on Syfy, while a few have the 1981-B theme variant. An early 2000's airing of ''The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang'' episode "Westward Whoa!" on TV Land used the 1980 theme variant, and the 1968 and 1969 theme variants appeared on two French airings of ''Mannix''. Several reverse plaster spottings involving Blue Mountain jingles include Fox Family (now Freeform) airings of ''The Brady Brides'', as well as repeats of several ''Mork & Mindy'' episodes when they last aired on older Hub Network and Fox Family airings, and a few later Season 2 episodes of ''Star Trek'' on the 2004 DVD set (region 2 only), plastering the 1st logo.  

* On ''Judge Judy'' (season 4 to mid-season 6), ''Judge Joe Brown'' (seasons 2 & 3), the final two seasons of ''Judge Mills Lane'' in syndication (and on Pluto TV), the final two seasons of ''Nash Bridges'', TV Land re-runs of ''The Master'', and ''The Adventures of Corduroy'', the end themes would play over the 1995 Domestic or Network logos.

* Both high tone and low tone variants of the 1987 fanfare exist, with the low tone variant being spotted on some episodes of ''Family Affair'' on Me-TV and Decades, which plastered older Viacom logos.

* Another version also exists that uses the last four notes of the theme.

* On the 2001 remaster and HD remasters of ''Cheers'', 2000s prints of ''The Love Boat'', an episode of season 3 of ''7th Heaven'' on Hulu, and seasons 2 through 6 of ''Charmed'' on DVD, the 1989 version of the theme is slightly re-orchestrated and also has a different echo at the end.

* Reportedly, TubiTV's print of the 1990 film ''Men at Work'' has the Viacom "Wigga Wigga" music with V/O play over the 1995 domestic logo due to a plastering error.

* The first episode of ''The Invaders'' on a foreign DVD set has the 1995 domestic logo intact but with the 1988 [[Worldvision Enterprises]] "Whoosh Globe" music playing over it due to a plastering error. This was also spotted on some early 2000s prints of ''The Love Boat'' episodes.

* One CBS Justice print of an episode of ''Gunsmoke'' has the Viacom "V of Doom" music play faintly under the 1995 Domestic version of this logo.

* On the 1988 game show ''Wipeout'' and the pilot of ''What's Alan Watching?'', the 1987 fanfare is slightly re-orchestrated.

* Starting in 1995, most shows from Paramount Domestic Television used the 1989 version of the theme. However, on shows from PDT like ''Entertainment Tonight'' and ''Hard Copy'', the 1987 version is still used.

* Season 1 episodes of ''Girlfriends'' have the fanfare played in mono.

* The 1995-2002 Viacom variation plasters over previous logos before being plastered by the CBS Television Distribution logo.

** On Netflix, the Gulf+Western version has also turned up on the last two seasons of ''Family Ties'' (plastered on DVD), as well as seasons 3-4 and the first four season 5 episodes of ''MacGyver'', which can also be seen on Pluto TV.

*** The short-lived 1988-89 game show ''Wipeout'' (with Peter Tomarken) also had this as well, and it was also retained when the USA Network reran from 1989 to 1991 (episodes can be found on YouTube).

*** These prints remain in use, and still appear on reruns of a few of the programs that had aired on TV Land in years past.

**** Some of these shows include ''The Andy Griffith Show'', the 1970 ''Harlem Globetrotters'' cartoon, ''Cannon'', color ''Gunsmoke'' episodes (and even some black and white episodes), ''Petticoat Junction'' (also appears on Me-TV and H&I airings), ''Family Affair'', ''Gomer Pyle USMC'', ''Hawaii Five-O'', ''I Love Lucy'', ''My Three Sons'', ''The Honeymooners'', ''The Fonz & the Happy Days Gang'', ''The Master'' and ''The Beverly Hillbillies'' (these prints were also used for Nick at Nite airings).

***** It is unknown if this also applies to TV Land airings of ''The Dick Van Dyke Show'', seasons 1-8 of ''Matlock'', ''The Devlin Connection'', ''The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse'' and ''Heckle and Jeckle'', and ''Perry Mason''.

* Also appears on ''Frasier'' on Lifetime, Hallmark Channel, and DVD box sets (plastered on the Blu-ray release and on Paramount+ by the 2021 [[ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group]] logo), ''Cheers'' on Hallmark Channel, Netflix, Me-TV, Reelz Channel, WGN America, and DVD prints up to season 8, the final season of ''Matlock'' (Season 9 DVD releases use the 2007 CBS Television Distribution logo instead), the second season of ''Diagnosis Murder'' on Me-TV and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries (Season 2 DVD releases use the 2006 [[CBS Paramount Television|CBS Paramount]] "Wallpaper" logo instead), ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' when it was on WGN America, the first two seasons of ''Soul Food: The Series'' on TV One, ''Relic Hunter'' in syndication, ''The Lucy Show'' prints, ''Mork & Mindy'' prints, ''Sabrina The Teenage Witch'' on Antenna TV and when last seen on Hub Network (before the rebrand to Discovery Family), ''The Dead Zone'' on Cloo, Me-TV airings of ''Taxi'', ''The Odd Couple'' prints, a 2013 airing of ''Return to Mayberry'' (after the Viacom "V of Happiness" logo), 1998-99 VH1 airings of ''Solid Gold'', ''Have Gun - Will Travel'' and ''The Wild Wild West'' airings on Me-TV and H&I (as well as ''The Wild Wild West'' airings on mid-1990's TNT airings, current FETV airings, and French-localized prints), USA Network's airings of the first four seasons of ''Nash Bridges'' (H&I airings of these seasons have the 2007 CBS Television Distribution logo, but still appears on the last two seasons when aired), LMN airings of ''Her Deadly Rival'' (following the 1995 Rysher Entertainment logo), ''Rawhide'' on H&I and Me-TV [though scarcely appearing], ''The Phil Silvers Show'' on Decades [also scarcely appearing], H&I airings of ''JAG'' (except seasons 3 and 4), Portuguese-localized ''The Twilight Zone'' episodes on USA Network [though scarcely], and ''Hogan's Heroes'' on Forces TV in the UK [though scarcely].

** It was also seen on 2000 syndicated airings of some ''Sabrina the Teenage Witch'' episodes (a couple episodes also retains this on Pluto TV but plastered on Paramount+) and is intact (with the Edd Kalehoff composed-end theme playing over) on episode 125 onwards of ''Judge Mills Lane'' on Pluto TV (which plasters the [[Rysher Entertainment]] logo).

* On the initial U.S. syndication reruns of the first four seasons of ''Webster'', the 1987 logo plasters the "Blue Mountain" on all but a select few episodes, as did the 1995 Domestic logo on much later U.S. syndication reruns after 1995.

* The 1989 logo with the gold Paramount Communications byline lasted until January 27, 1995, and during its lifespan appears on the syndicated 1994-1995 ''The New Price Is Right'' show, DVD and Netflix's prints of seasons 5-7 of ''MacGyver'', the first season DVD release of ''Wings'', Get TV airings of ''The Boy Who Loved Christmas'', and the 1993 unaired pilot ''Gloria Vane''.

** This also appears on the final two seasons (first-run syndication-era) episodes of ''Webster''.

* This logo also makes a surprise appearance with the fanfare on digital prints of ''Don't Give Up the Ship'', a 2000 VHS release of ''Sunshine'' (1999), the 1997 VHS release of ''It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown'' after the said special's closing credits and on a demo VHS release of ''Boohbah: Comfy Armchair'' following the Dot variant of the [[PBS Kids|PBS Kids Video]] logo.

* An airing of the ''Star Trek'' episode "Coda" on Australian channel FOX Sci Fi also retained the 1995 variant, as did some Season 1 episodes from the 2004 DVD box set (following the 1966 [[Desilu Productions|Desilu]] logo).
