Yeah, that newspaper turning into a C at the end of a show back then is burned into my mind forever. Along with the Hanna Barbera star back then after a cartoon went off from an episode. It would spiral 2 or 3 times and then make a cha-ching! sound. lol
Man, growing up in the 80's (and only having a black & white set up until '91), that dude sitting at his typewriter and then throwing the sheet of white paper in the air...that's one of my lasting images of the classic 80's decade. Just like the crazy "V of DOOM". ;-) I'll never forget that for as long as I live... R.I.P.!
@Mapleholic true. but that's kind of what makes Family Guy...well, Family Guy. If you think about it, without their unnecessary references, the show wouldn't be all that funny.(:
Hey guys, this man is a legend, he has given us great shows like The Greatest American Hero, The A-Team, Stingray, Riptide, Wiseguy, Hardcastle & McCormick, The Commish and of course HUNTER
William Katt, Connie Sellica, Mr. T, Perry King, Joe Penny, Daniel Hugh Kelley, Ken Wahl, Fred Dryer and Stepfanie Kramer are excellent actors on each of their respected shows as well as revived careers of Robert Culp, Brian Keith, George Peppard and Robert Conrad.
I'm glad this logo isn't plastered over. News Corporation owns this logo. I've never seen any 20th Television logos plastered over any of Steve's logos.
I wonder if he had any extended logos prior to this 1984-1987 variant? There is a shortened version of this particular jingle that played occassionally over the 1981 logo on greatest american hero on the dvd collection.
And on a few eps the 8 notes played over that same logo but it was followed by a different tune after the eighth note kinda sounding like the last notes to the greatest american hero theme song "Believe it or not".
The logo of "Stephen J. Cannell Productions" was on these shows like: "The Greatest American Hero," "The A-Team," "Hardcastle & McCormick," "Hunter," "Riptide," "21 Jump Street," "Silk Stalkings," "Wiseguy," and others.
