Sorry, I didn't know where else to put this thread...;)

I thought I was the only one who used to be scared of some of the production logos after TV shows, until I found this thread on the GSN board. Now I don't feel like so much of a freak anymore. :lol:

The Viacom "V of Doom" scared me to death with the giant "V" looking like it would go right through the screen. I think that ominous music was even scarier!! The ITC logo was a bit creepy, too.

The capper for me was after the closing credits of Sesame Street on Fridays before Mr. Rogers. I think it was something about the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. They would have a few minutes of nothing but some disclaimer (white letters across a black screen) while this ominous music played in the background. Even thinking about it, as an adult, gives me a shiver.

Boy, the things that scare you as a kid...:eek:

can we have a link to that Viacom "V" doom thing. I think I know what you mean, but I would like to see/hear it.

It WAS on YouTube, but then Viacom sued them for using it. Good luck finding it on Google. Those greedy...:mumble:

OH SH*T! BASTARDS! I forgot abt that. How abt a pic? Like I said, I think I know what you mean, I just want to be certain.

This may sound dumb but on the LUCY SHOW at the closing credits, they would show a cartoon head of Lucy. For some friggin' reason, that scared the bejesus outta me. I would hide under the covers or cover my eyes. I couldn't stand seeing Lucy's head end right at the shoulder area. :eek:

OMG!!! Thanx for finding that. I never realized how many people found that scary. I think what made it scary was HOW LOUD THAT MUSIC IS!!!!! I had to turn down the volume on my computer. Me thinks, THEY DID IT ON PURPOSE!:eek:
