  • I created this logo and compiled the videos for Family Vision in 1984 and 1985. I hated the name but got voted out, I wanted no name for this concept. This was just used to kill some of the dead time in the showrooms between Rock-a-Fire shows. I made one big mistake, I put a Tina Turner video on one the tapes (I think the song was What's Love Got to Do With It) but I received holy hell for that. People thought she looked like a hooker in the video...it scared the white people. lol

  • @countyfair74 Wow really!? Is this Doyle? I know one of the video editors back then was Doyle Williams... I'd love to hear more about back then can you shoot me an email? I have so much of this trype of material along with Rock-afire material and questions about some of it. email me at: bigtimepizzacam@yahoo.com

    Thanks!

  • is on 1980s

  • I LOVE Showbiz! Lotsa childhood memories there!!

  • Why did they cut out the SPP logo in later versions?

  • Because both Chuck E. Cheese's & Showbiz Pizza Place had merged by this point and were both under the name "Showbiz Pizza"... Thus the logo and name were already different.

  • I see.

  • When did they start and when did they stop doing "Family Vision"?

  • Various times...it started testing in '84 and ended whenever a store got upgraded to Cyberstar...the first one to get "Cyber Vision"(the first versionof Cyberstar) was the Arlington, Tx store on January 15, 1987

  • Well it WAS before Cyberstar but it wasn't the same thing...

    Family Vision was intermission entertainment... A projection screen would roll down in front of the center stage curtains and a hanging projector would show music videos or cartoons(usually a Looney Tunes cartoon) then the screen would roll back up and about a minute or 2 later another show would start.

    Then the cycle would repeat again during the next intermission...

  • What was "family vision"?

    Was that kind of like a pre-cursor to cyberstar?
