[@karaokebackgroundplaylists9878]

Great logo history of Paramount... I especially love the blue mountains

[@gregoryrush6548]

Looks like you did it once again!👋👋From Desilu to Gulf+Western to Paramount Communications is my favs. Especially Gulf+Western

[@TheRenard10]

The Pre-Paramount logos, then the Paramount ones.

Love All Of Your Videos,Sir...... Especially,The History Of Paramount.......🙂💯👍🏾

[@starfishorca2975]

I also love Paramount and the mountain because it reminds me of the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia, Canada!

[@ryanavery8174]

Starfish Orca funny enough I actually love in British Columbia

[@jamesjordan711]

Nice Job on the update sir! I do mostly like the Blue-Mountain era, My favorite jingle variation of all the blue mountain logo is the '79 fanfare because the jingle has a fast tempo beat to it just like the '72 Split Box fanfare.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

Yes, and the 1972 version also found itself under the Blue Mountain on early syndication reruns of Happy Days' first two seasons (1974-75) and 1975 and later repeats of "Guess Who's Coming to Christmas?" (a season 2 episode) on ABC.

It sure did... I am going to do another revision to this with the logos I captured from the Here's Boomer season 2 DVD.

@@ClassicTVMan1981X It's funny that the Paramount logo from 1968 was after "In Association With". Like what you see on Family Ties & Cheers.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

@@PatFrenchLeafsFan1 They would not do this again until the 2nd season of Taxi, in the 1979-80 season; the short-lived series The Associates, which premiered 12 days later -- on September 23, 1979 -- also ended this way. They tried it with the Blue Mountain before on the 1978 special, Cindy. All were produced by John Charles Walters Productions in association with Paramount Television.

I used to be scared of Paramount Television when I was a kid. It attacked me in my sleep.

Me too plus nightmares

[@Neville60001]

8:00-Silent logo from (very likely) _The Lost Islands_ (there's also one for the TV movie pilot _Poor Devil_ .)

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

Yes, I hope Poor Devil will be legitimately available on DVD.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

Actually, what you saw there came from the VHS of a WGBH series called Vic Braden's Tennis for the Future.

what do you mean? you're just calling a normal Paramount logo some Paramount creepypasta.

[@myklehicks32]

Kids are scared of the logos of Paramount Pictures.

[@LogoAttitude]

What if from 1995, Paramount attached pre-Viacom era logos to shows it only owned/distributed while part of Viacom? This would only apply to shows aired from the fall of 1966 onward since that would be the first time Desilu (as PTV was called then) had a proper closing logo. Among shows in the Spelling Entertainment/Worldvision library, the 1968 PTV logo would be shown with its original fanfare on S1 of The Mod Squad, and with the Closet Killer fanfare on early S2 episodes of the same series. The 1969 PTV logo would be seen with the Closet Killer on the rest of S2 and early S3 episodes of The Mod Squad, and with the early iterations of Lalo Schifrin's "Color ID" on the remainder of the series. On Barnaby Jones, seasons 1-3 would use the 1969 PTV logo with "Color ID", then S4-8 the Blue Mountain. The Love Boat would use the Blue Mountain during its entire run, except "A Valentine Voyage" which would use the gold Paramount Communications variant of the CGI Mountain. The gold Paramount Communications variant of the CGI Mountain would also be used on S1 of Twin Peaks. S2 of Twin Peaks and episodes of Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place aired prior to February 13, 1995 would use the white Paramount Communications variant of the CGI Mountain. On Matlock, a Viacom production, S1 uses the Blue Mountain, S2-early S4 the Gulf+Western CGI Mountain, remainder of S4 the gold Paramount Communications variant of the CGI Mountain, and S5-8 the white Paramount Communications variant of the CGI Mountain. The latter did actually appear on original broadcasts of the first 13 episodes of Matlock S9, replaced in syndication with the 1995 Domestic variant with the Viacom byline.

[@LogoAttitude]

Furthermore, when the first official Twin Peaks tie-in books were released during the original run of the series, the publisher of the books, Simon and Schuster, was then owned by Paramount Communications.

[@LogoAttitude]

The white Paramount Communications variant of the CGI Mountain would also be on Dynasty: The Reunion, which was not included in 20th Television's rights to Dynasty that expired in 2006 and were inherited from Metromedia.

Where's the 8:37 one from? That looks like they used the actual movie variant.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

Assault on the Wayne (1971), when it was rerun on A&E circa 1990.

[@PomPomthePigtailGirl]

Why is 1:43 does not show the gulf + western byline?

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

That had to do with Gulf+Western's dislike of some special effects on season 2 of Mission: Impossible, and in some book it mentions G+W was happy to see that Mission: Impossible was canceled in 1973 after seven seasons and 170 episodes.

[@MacLoversLogos]

@@ClassicTVMan1981X What about Mannix? There was no G+W byline on the end logo on that show!

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

@@MacLoversLogos At least not so up to season 6 (1972-73); I think seasons 7 (1973-74) and 8 (1974-75) probably did, but only 1/3 of season 7 was ever rerun in early syndication and season 8 was not rerun in syndication at all (nor was season 1).

[@MacLoversLogos]

@@ClassicTVMan1981X Interesting. I thought having no G+W byline on the end logo happened on Paramount shows mainly airing on CBS.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

@@MacLoversLogos For example, the TV movie pilot of Kate McShane that aired in April 1975 did have the byline.

0:31 original audio 0:01 stolen audio this is why Desilu is defunct.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

It happened because Desilu was sold off by Lucille Ball to Gulf+Western during 1967. Originally G+W was going to make Desilu the TV division of their other acquisition, Paramount Pictures, but Charles Bluhdorn changed his mind and slowly dissolved the Desilu name, which it did when the first Paramount Television logo made its first appearance on January 1, 1968 on The Lucy Show, episode 16 ("Lucy and Viv Reminisce").
