That's right: the power company that has "imagination at work" is selling 51% percent of the "more colorful" media company to the broadband company that inspired us to "dream big." In return, General Electric is set to buy the French-based Vivendi's 20% share. Quite frankly, I am as "proud as a peacock." Comcast tried to buy the Walt Disney Company back in 2004, but it never happened. More on this website: http://www.geek.com/articles/news/cable-wins-comcast-set-to-buy-nbc-20091116/

I found out after watching an episode from the Bob Eubanks era, that the Lorimar
logo is an in-credit animated logo over the camera shots of the set.  That's
weird isn't it?

It strikes me funny to think of Lions Gate Entertainment as a potential owner of
MGM, but whoever buys it (Lions Gate, News Corporation, or even Time Warner, who
owns most of MGM's pre-1986 product), hopefully they will get MGM back on their
feet.

Potential buyers are TimeWarner, who as we know owns MGM's pre-1986 films
through its Turner subsidiary; and News Corporation, the parent company of 20th
Century Fox who currently handles their home entertainment distribution and
overseas theatrical distribution.  LionsGate is also interested in possibly
buying MGM.

strategy has without a doubt done great irreversible damage to the company as a
movie studio.

If either Time Warner, News Corp. or Lionsgate is interested in buying MGM, then
the Sony-led consortium will no longer own MGM. We'll find out whether MGM would
be shielded, searchlit or gated.

Looks like MGM is, as is to be expected, back on the block.  The company is $4
billion in debt from interest on bonds the studio was lent to stay afloat. 
Potential buyers are TimeWarner, who as we know owns MGM's pre-1986 films
through its Turner subsidiary; and News Corporation, the parent company of 20th
Century Fox who currently handles their home entertainment distribution and

Sony was not mentioned in the deal, so I guess their days dealing with MGM are
over.  Is it just me or does this sound like 1991 all over again?  I guess this
will be MGM's story for years to come, as Kirk Kerkorian's "hotel company"

Well, on TV, Fangface and Thundarr have always kept the Filmways logo.

I think Plastic Man also removed the Filmways logo on the old Worldvision and
Kids Klassics video releases, but I'm not sure. (Some other Filmways-era R-S
specials like "Scruffy" had the Filmways logo removed on video).

made it impossible to keep that logo intact even though it was on the original
ABC episodes, or was it?
