I think WGN America (Chicagoland - some Iowa, Illinois, Indiana) still show Barney Miller.

Oh yeah-and the first 2 seasons of "Married with Children".

@buzzlewie Yes, there were 3 TV series produced by Danny Arnold (BMiller, Fish, AES Hudson St), when he had his company, 4 D Productions. My dad wrote the music to all of them when with his ex-partner. Unfortunately, Arnold sold his company to Columbia Pics TV (then), now Sony, I believe, as settlement in a lawsuit over syndication rights, and there went the 4 D Prods logo & all syndication rights to the big guys, and over which we no longer had any control! Nuts.

@Gerry50ify Thanks! My dad wrote the music for both Barney Miller and the Four D logo! And, my bro. played the guitar (not the bass lick). Still love it to this day. :)

I remembered as a kid watching those logos! I really like the CPT "sunburst" logo.

@ir10031981 - on Chicago's Me-TV and Me-Too reruns, they've had a CPT Sunburst on a majority of Season 3 episodes, sometimes followed by the SPT logo. some Season 4, a few Season 5, and some later seasons, too. Though, some later season episodes sometimes have the late 1980s CPT Torch Lady (in gold lettering) on the end credits, followed by the SPT logo.

The Four D music sounds like a music cue for cutting away to another scene in a sitcom of that era.

When it aired on WGN America, Barney Miller had the long Sony Pictures Television at the end.

Arlene Sorkin was the original co-host for AFP, and then when she fired, she was replaced by Music Video Vixen Julie "Tawny" Kitaen and when WFV aired on abc, it was co-hosted by Eva LaRue of All My Children and also, if I'm not mistaken, AFV with MTV VJ Daisy Fuentes, and VH1 VJ John Fugelsang and Tom Bergeron are also taped @ ABC Television Center in Hollywood and was Disney's One Saturday Morning taped @ ABC Television Center in Hollywood or not?

I always loved the Four D music. It's a nice change from most company fanfares.

@ir10031981 , I'm not in Chicago but do occasionally watch Barney Miller on WGN with satellite. Caught a show tonight and watched the ending creds. No Columbia Sunburst... just that 'Sony' Logo..
