ABC started putting sqeezed credits on sitcoms beginning with the 1996-97 season, but it wasn't put on all programs until the 1997-98 season (however NYPD Blue didn't get sqeezed credits until the 1998-99 season)

Great clip. Thanks for posting.
Were the "Martin" end credits from a Fox network airing? If so, when did Fox start "squeezing" the end credits of its prime-time programs?
In September 1995, blue M&Ms replaced tan M&Ms.
To be honest, those M&M commercials creep me out a little. It's as if Burger King used a talking cow to advertise its Whoppers - "mmm, I really enjoy being butchered, chopped up, and fried in grease!"

Yes they were. Can't you tell?
The "squeezed" credits debuted sometime in early 1996. Check out one of my December 1996 Fox commercial breaks for one of the earliest examples of their "squeezed" credits displays. It's the one labeled, "WFLD commercials - December 5, 1996, Part 3".

I thought they might have been from a syndicated airing or something.
NBC instituted squeezed credits in the 1993-94 season (although it was already taking programs' "real" credits and shrinking them to a little box to allow for network promos as early as May 1993). CBS followed suit at the beginning of the 1994-95 season. I believe ABC didn't adopt the practice until the 1996-97 season. I know for sure that ABC was still airing "real" credits as late as February 1996.

No, not a syndicated airing. If there were Fox promos throughout, then it wasn't from a synd. airing. Actually, to be honest, w/ you, that partic. episode of "Martin" was taped over w/ the Jan. 1998 material I had posted before, so it was difficult to tell anyway.
Also, the earliest split screen credits I've seen from ABC were from the 1997-98 season. Have you seen any from the 1996-97 season? If so, where?
