Claster Television Incorporated

[Zeronautic]

I saw this at the end of every Beast Wars episode. It's even on the DVDs!

[DJCandyManMike]

Muppet Babies!

[jasongunning2468]

An Improvement To The Jack In The Box Logo

[cybertronization]

This was seen on any show Claster distributed.

[barulez]

Aah, Claster Productions. That one help a lot of great cartoons like Beast Wars, G.I. Joe and C.O.P.S. (Animated Series). Too bad it merged so we won't see that logo again. (sighs)

[hootowl2112]

This little ditty can get stuck in head for hours.

[AnimationDiana]

I always get this logo mixed up with the Embassy logo.

[1soniccool]

Hasbro own the company the name of the company back then was Womper Room

[neinsudtexas10]

I remember seeing this logo in the late 80s at the end of the G.I. Joe cartoons.

[8218933alt]

This logo might make a comeback soon, because Hasbro is planning to launch its own kids network with Discovery next year.

[LPOSLA]

wow thanks for the info. can't wait!

[MissSkymin]

Awesome! Maybe they'll keep the Sunbow one on GI Joe!

[kefkaroth]

g.i. joe used this talk about a stoll down memory lane heh

[ekkostar]

Tomorrow I have a test final. No doubt I'll stress out and I'll get something as absurd as this stuck in my head.

[DrOctagon20]

Didn't this come on after Muppet Babies? I had a dream last week they were going to make a movie out of that show.

[MiltownPunkette21]

:-) Didn't anyone else get scared by this when they were small?

[yellowdiva21]

this logo reminds me of my old living room. probably because we would watch X-Men there On saturdays

[1soniccool]

It is own BY Hasbro!

[PreviewSubscription]

I remember an Alternate version of this logo from New Archies,the theme was different.Can't find it anywhere.

[StarBoy62]

I remember this

[HomeoftheGoodGuys]

Livinlarge18, that logo came from the ending to "Muppet Babies" just before the final sequence where Animal says "Go bye-bye!" at the end of every episode after the end credits.

I remember that show when it was on WNYW-TV (channel 5) in New York City back in around 1988 or 1989 until about 1990 where they stopped showing it in syndication before moving to Nickelodeon.

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

I used to watch Muppet Babies on the same channel! Wasn't it on WCBS-TV (Channel 2) also?

I also remember this from GI Joe, but Im sure I'm wrong - can anyone confirm that?

[MiltownPunkette21]

No, you're right. That's where I remembered it from. I've been trying to find this a while because it used to scare the mess out of me when I was little, lol.

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

I thought so. Thanks for confirming that!

[MiltownPunkette21]

You're welcome. :-)

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

:-) Glad to know that at my "old age" (I'm "only" 26!) I still know my stuff!

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

I'm not familiar with any 90s versions of Pink Panther, but I may have been a little bit older and out of my kiddie cartoon phase, which would have been around 1994 or so, when I was only watching Garfield, The Critic, or Simpsons. I do however love the 60s Pink Panther cartoons, and still do watch them on occassion on Boomerang.

[yellowdiva21]

well I was a HUGE fan of the '90s pink panther

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

Cool - as I said, I like the 60s version, grew up watching it.

[GDelva2003]

Do you remember a cartoon called "Might Max"?

[barber747]

@AllisonTheSNLGuru

You watch GI Joe?!?

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

@barber747 - Yes, I did, from about 1985 or 1986 until the early 1990s. I have a twin brother, so this stuff was a big part of my life.

[barber747]

@AllisonTheSNLGuru

Damn u even remember the exact timeframe you watched it! Apparently u got a photographic memory like I do!!!

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

@barber747 - Oh, I just have a great memory!

[1000huzzahs]

memories of 80's cartoons ending with this very weird titlecard... it weirded me out and i feel the weirdness to this day

[barber747]

This reminds me of Japan :P

Don't ask why, it just does

[LPOSLA]

sounds more like theme music set for a television news program...

[DrOctagon20]

Another rap beat sample

[Brinah]

no!

[DrOctagon20]

You know, you can.....use it at the end of an album...to let people know its over....and stuff...You would be surprised what unpopular hip-hop producers are sampling these days. I heard the Embassy Logo on a rap cd. Then I looked it up here. It took me back

[Brinah]

which rap cd for embassy?

[DrOctagon20]

Jaylib - Champion Sound...it plays at the end of "Official"

[DrOctagon20]

Here's the youtube link for "the official" if you want to hear it. You can just skip to the last six seconds of the song. You'll hear the embassy logo.

[Brinah]

where is it?

[DrOctagon20]

It won't let me paste links...but if you just type in "The official Jaylib" in the Youtube search box, it will come up.

The sample only plays at the end. It's random but it caught my attention for me enough to say "HEY!! I remember that!!" when I first heard it.

[HBKanedge818]

I used to see this logo at the end of the 1990s pink panther cartoon. Memories

[overdrive2000]

Claster was bought by Hasbro in 2000

[ShaDeed329]

I used to know the instrument of this sounder, but I forgot.

[fballjones]

ahhhhhhhh brings back childhood memories i remember seeing this after muppet babies the newest pink panther

[OpenArms81]

Isn't Claster,connected to Romper Room.

[livinlarge18]

Yes it was Romper Room was also the name until Hasbro bought it 1969 and the it was renamed Claster Television

[AsdfTheRevival]

I LOVE the jingle! KRS Logos' description of it is what's bizarre.

[LPOSLA]

Claster's distribution with television shows ended in 2000.

[LPOSLA]

All of Claster's shows ended in 2000, when Hasbro formed a central media division which merged Claster with other Hasbro media in that year.Claster Television was also remembered for having a very distinctive logo.

[LPOSLA]

August 11,1997 Sally Bell became president of Claster.After nearly 25 years as president,John Claster stepped down.He left the company to be succeeded by his sister Sally C. Bell.Claster Television was a Baltimore, Maryland--based television distributor founded in 1953 by Bert and Nancy Claster as Romper Room Inc.Unfortunately Nancy Claster passed away from cancer April 28,1997 at the age of 82 and her husband,Bert,died in 1974.

[TheAdmiester]

Lol, this sounds like the music you would hear at the circus!

[botter1]

look at the old g.i.joe cartoons that were produced by claster,marvel and sunbow productions, the first version of the series was only on one network. i think it was one network because the only time i was watching it, it was when i was 5 to 7 years of age.

[babygiraffe123]

I will NEVER get sick of this logo/jingle.

[Marbles471]

I'm confused about one thing. Why would this have appeared at the end of "Muppet Babies" on CBS Saturday mornings? I thought that companies like Claster were syndicates, acting as distributors for shows that were not attached to any one network. "Muppet Babies", however, was commissioned by, and produced for, CBS. Guaranteed time slot every week--the definition of a network show. So why would they need Claster? Anyone?

[TreyBenjamin]

nice quality

[Asdffgcghdv898]

I can't believe that KRS Logos said this music was "one of the most bizzare synth tunes ever created, bordering on evil". Are they serious?

[wisp2007]

It doesn't sound evil- it sounds a little circus-like, a little pleasant, but I agree, it is bizarre.

[sil80d]

I remember the one that said below "a division of Hasbro,Inc."

[wisp2007]

What about the one with the creepy circus-like synth music?

[Asdffgcghdv898]

I don't like that one as much as this one.

[wisp2007]

Sorry. THIS is the one with the creepy circus-like synth music

[Asdffgcghdv898]

Oh. I thought you were talking about the 1996 one. That's the one I don't really like.

[jake94]

God I completely forgot about this one! I remember Claster from the end credits for the C.O.P.S cartoon.

[88HJS]

I'd forgotten about this logo - I hadn't seen it in about a decade.

[TheAdmiester]

So what happened to claster in 2000? Did they Go bankrupt?

[larlem02]

I saw this at the end of reruns of muppet Babies and New Archies.Except it had byline at the bottom"A Division of Hasbro".I guess it was A part of Hasbro toys once.

[IluvClassicNick]

AWSOME!!!

[samsticka]

Creepy music.

[ChadODell]

Does anyone have the very first Claster logo, the one seen on Romper Room with the clown named Happy Jack?

[tbone2004]

One show I definently know this logo appears on is Bucky O' Hare! Good find!

[Izlude]

yay claster my favorite. i kept telling people about this but they wouldn't believe me, they thought i meant the hanna barbera star. but it's real it's real!

[kookybloo]

THANK YOU! I've been looking all over for this one!

[jaynedeaux99]

This is one of my favorite logos.

[babygiraffe123]

I used to see this logo after the TV show Bowling For Dollars, which used to be one of my dad's favorite shows.

[slsumers2006]

I'm glad I recorded it on Fox Kids.

[a1234432]

I remember this one too from The Newest Pink Panther Show, co-distributed by Claster and Camelot Entertainment Sales, a short-lived division of KingWorld Productions.

[jellobabe123456]

DIC HAS NOT logo.

[emilysong2000]

I must consider this and many of the DIC logos as my favorites as a kid.

[babygiraffe123]

I was a little scared of this one as a child, but not nearly as scared as some of the other old logos out there. (LBS, Ruby-Spears, etc) I remember this logo used to come up right after Jem and the Holographs. I'm 24 now and I can snicker and giggle because it doesn't scare me at all anymore.

[ShaDeed329]

I remember this one after Conan: The Adventurer went off since I was 4 in 1989. The Animation version that is.

[KeenRich]

the claster theme give me chills

[parrothead1983]

I remember seeing this after James Bond JR. went off.

[thunderstruck665]

This distribution company, like LBS, has been defunct for a long time. There really aren't a lot of companies like these out there anymore. There pretty much relics of the past.

[Toledo1837]

Syndication these days is a joke as well. Claster TV of course was owned by Hasbro otherwise.

[randomchannel134]

Claster went out of business in 2000.

[Marbles471]

It must all be because of media consolodation. With all the independent stations being bought up, there are fewer and fewer "empty blocks" which would once have been filled by syndicated programming.

[kimsy520]

I remember this :) This is a pretty extinct logo; I wish it'd come back!

[mr3urious]

I remember seeing this one at the end of Beast Wars: Transformers!

[kerrex]

Yes, I too remember seeing this in Beast Wars every day I caught it in the afternoon on Fox, those were days we'll never get back.
