"In those days, closing credits were "shoved" to one side, on the right- today, they're usually flashed on the bottom half of the screen- and even harder to read than ever!"
SO true! Those knucleheads over at TBS seem to have a real hard-on for that shit nowadays. Kinda sad...
Anyways, I was pretty much done with Fox (that includes the programs "The X-Files", "The Simpsons", and, for obvious reasons, "NY Undercover") by that time in '98. I was a CBS (Mondays!) & WB man by that time.
Nope, it was NBC in September 1994 (I remember a Bob Hope "comedy club" special in the summer of '94 had "full credits"); CBS actually followed in the spring of '95 [I also remember the last two episodes of "THE GEORGE WENDT SHOW" had "scrunched" credits instead of their orignal ones)- THEN, ABC by '96.
NBC started the tradition of mixing promos and credits together in the fall of 1994, when they began what they called "NBC 2000"; no more than 30 seconds of closing credits (usually their own graphics on the side), with opening credits of no more than 5 to 20 seconds duration. Within a year, ABC followed their example, as did CBS in the spring of 1996. Fox was doing it by '97...

And that all began in 1994 when NBC, CBS, and ABC(somewhat) had the whole idea of doing that. ABC, even though some programs still were full screened credits, were moved to the bottom of the screen like they are today.But then in 1996, ABC moved their split-screen credits to the right side of the screen, among the other channels. CBS, UPN, The WB, and FOX had them the way you see it on here, to the right of the screen. And then eventually, other channels began to do that also!

As far as I know, Nickelodeon began spilt-screen end credits in early 2000.

You know what could've happened had NBC not done the split-screen credits: SEE YA, NBC!!!!!!!! In short, they'd be bankrupt.

Actually, CBS began their split screened credits in 1994 other than NBC.

@fromthesidelines Actually, NBC began in the fall of 1993. And CBS started in the fall of 1994.
ABC didn't follow until 1996, I believe.
