Columbia Pictures Television 1982-1988

[JHollowayNetwork]

@JHollowayNetwork I meant plaster

[JHollowayNetwork]

This logo usually gets plaster by the Columbia TriStar or Sony Pictures Television logos but it may still pop up on old prints of shows.

[metalwhiplash666]

This logo scare me when i was a child!

[cameron20101000]

logo with coca cola byline used from 1982-1988 and with columbia pictures entertainment byline used from 1987-1993

[babygiraffe123]

JUST saw this logo (AND the DiC "Green-Vortex" logo), no more than 20 minutes ago, at the end of The Real Ghostbusters.

[ma7799]

Wow, this brings back memories from the 80's! This logo ended The Real Ghostbusters cartoon!

[rurmundo]

sadly logo

[jinglebell61]

The torch,the toga and the pedestal

[deathboy126]

ive seen this one on naruto

[megamanj2004X]

I recently spotted this variation on some local reruns of S1 of "That's My Mama!" when this logo plastered the CPT '74 Pretzel.

On That's My Mama! these days, some eps. keep part of the '80s reruns feel thanks to this CPT logo seen here and sometimes is followed by the SPT Shiny Bars of Boredom logo.

[LPOSLA]

yeah i would automatically put this one in the scary top 5 of 80's logos but The Paramount Blue Mountain will be #1 hands down in that cateogory.

[corrupt200]

same here...especially after Taxi or Family Ties (UBU)

[LPOSLA]

Paramount after Taxi was absolutely...Scary!

FYI, Coca-Cola owned Columbia Pictures and CPT from April 1982 to November 1989. I agree with you. It is very cool, and I love this logo. The first time I have seen it it was at the end of the 1982 made-for-tv movie, The Blue and The Gray, starring Stacy Keach, Lloyd Bridges, and Gregory Peck, and a few others. I have the DVD copy of that film. It uses a higher pitched version of the jingle used in the 1976-82 version of CPT logo.

[SoapT06]

This logo used to come on after The Young and the Restless when the show was in it's hey day.

[silverice3k]

this shit scared me as a little kid but at the same time it bring back memories of the 80s

[1981BSAlpha]

It did the same thing to me when I was little. Back then with TBS and TNT show the old shows that theme will pop up every now and then.

[waltsoph3]

lol hey i know exactly the feeling. just made your hair and spine tingle with chills.

[waltsoph3]

lol hey don't feel bad. Espically when theres like a delay after the shows over and then all of a sudden BAM CP's logo! That defently can make your spine go to chills.

[corrupt200]

I remember seeing this during ghostbusters, but but also in what sitcoms?

[hoodmistress]

Sanford and Son, Good Times, and What's happening!!

[corrupt200]

not my time period

[hoodmistress]

Not my time period either, but I do remember seeing this logo on those shows during the 80s.

[megamanj2004X]

Sometimes the CPT '82 logo still pops up on a few eps. of local reruns of "What's Happening Now!!" from the 1st season 1985-86.

Also, some reruns of "That's My Mama" have this logo plastered over the original 1974-76 CPT "Pretzel" logo and sometimes it would be followed by the SPT "Shiny Bars" logo.

[parlet]

That is one hot logo!!!

[kennyjohnson94]

Actually, this version ended in 1987, not 1988. CPE didn't exist until Dec. 21, 1987

[Starskylar87]

This one is the tops not the 88 jingle junk.

[csallen]

I remember I use to finish watching Good Times and What's Happening when then the Columbia/Coca Cola distribution music came on. So Classic.

[Starskylar87]

Oh yeah!!!

[hoodmistress]

You just mentioned 2 of my favorite sitcoms.

I actually loved this logo. One of my many childhood faves.

[kennyjohnson94]

Heck Yeah! This is my favorite logo, because the Coke logo was on the bottom of the screen. The reason for that is because Coca-Cola was owning Columbia Pictures and Columbia Pictures Television (CPT) from April 1982 to November 1989. Look it up on Wikipedia. That is how I knew about this.

[jonghyunchung]

When shows originally with this logo are now rerun, it is replaced by the Sony Pictures "Shining Bars" logo.

[christiemarie27]

I love the Torch Lady logo a little better than the Sunburst logo. I think the Sunburst music sounds a lot better with the Columbia Torch Lady Logo!

[dingorex]

Great memories,some of these comments must be from ad execs.

[ChristianWithNES]

I Like this logo, It's cool.

[csallen]

Thos jingle reminds of being a kid all the good shows and cartoons. Damn the 80's were the best.

[heart1987]

This logo's jingle reminds me of being young again, love, and the month of June.

[sharp10304]

In 1976 Suzanne Ciani composed the Columbia Pictures and Columbia Pictures Television theme jingles.That includes this scary one so she is held responsible for these continuous nightmares across America's Family homes!!!

[Asdffgcghdv898]

Nightmares? Over this? Are you kidding me?

[larlem02]

I always loved this logo.The music reminded me of liquid pouring into A glass.Excuse Me,Gotta grab A Coke(Ha Ha).

[babygiraffe123]

I got over my crippling fear of this logo, a long time ago, but the jingle will always send chills down my spine if I hear it unexpectedly.

[bdwriley]

you are not lying it gave me the creeps when I hear this logo. now I love it

[benschlechter]

This used to scare me as a kid, especially if it appeared after a DIC logo (Vortex and Kid in Bed), but not now.

[samsticka]

This logo never scared me as a kid. If anything, I thought it was pretty cool. To me, it looked like that lady was squirting water.

A side note:I don't remember Coca-Cola ever owning Colubmia Pictures.

[babygiraffe123]

Yes. Coca Cola bought Columbia Pictures in 1982 and sold it to Sony in 1989. (I think) Forgive me if I am wrong.

[ShaDeed329]

You're right.

[ShaDeed329]

This logo ended in 1987, not 1988

[megamanj2004]

This variation of the cPT torch lady actually ended in late '87. Then another variation came along in '88 and lasted til' 92.

[ShaDeed329]

It was December 18, 1987. December 21, 1987-1991, it was "A Unit of Columbia Pictures Entertainment, Inc." And from 1991-1992, it was bylineless by SPE.
