I just started watching season 3. Its so cool to see the "Screen Gems" dancing sticks (or whatever this was called) at the end of the closing credits.

yea--it's great to see them!!!

The "dancing sticks" were used in the 1963-64 and 1964-65 seasons, and IMHO, they're more fun to watch than the so-called "credits from hell" (the "SG" logo seeming to roll out of the projector with that weird electronic music).

It was adapted to at least two other versions:

On "Route 66," they spliced in "Herbert B. Leonard, Executive Producer" after the "A Screen Gems Production"--

and on at least a couple of Hanna-Barbera cartoon shows ("Magilla Gorilla" and "Peter Potamus"), they ran the sticks and the music alone, with no announcer voice-over.

I wonder who did the voice-over.

I'm not sure who he was, but he had been doing the voice-over credit for Screen Gems TV shows since at least 1959 ("This has been a Screen Gems film presentation, from the Hollywood studios of Columbia Pictures"). As I mentioned earlier, on the Herbert B. Leonard shows ("Naked City" and "Route 66"), the "Herbert B. Leonard, Executive Producer" followed immediately.
