We’re inexplicably drawn to this sort of thing. Maybe it’s our fascination with marketing and advertising. Maybe it’s nostalgia for Ubu. He’s a good dog.

That was cool. I haven’t seen some of them since I was a child. I guess being from the metropolitan New York area helped as there were a lot of local logos.

Oh Good God! What have I done! Now I’m gonna have that song stuck in my head all week.
@homerjay: Thank you!!!

This really took me back. I first saw it on this site you guys really need to check out called Defamer.

Nice to remember which shows these went to, too. For me, WGBH Boston is forever associated to the show, ZOOM. ITC did the Muppet Show, UBU did Family Ties, Steven J. Cannell (My favorite ending) did the Rockford Files, the A team and the Greatest American Hero.
