Ummmm. Let me see. Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie and I think all the shows that come on Screen Gems network are made by them too. To see the rest go to this address it's the Screen Gems site this address will take you to the I Dream of Jeannie page and from there you can see the other shows. Here's the address: www.spe.sony.com/tv/shows/sgn/jeannie/
That should work.

Hmm I dunno exactly what shows you'd include in this. Screen Gems changed it's name in the late 70s to Columbia-Tristar Television I believe...here are some shows I can think of:

1) Donna Reed Show
2) Dennis the Menace
3) Father Knows Best
4) Hazel
5) Soap
6) Benson
7) All in the Family
8) Archie Bunker's Place
9) The Jeffersons
10) Maude
11) I Dream of Jeannie
12) Bewitched
13) The Rookies
14) Charlie's Angels
15) The Partridge Family
16) Fish
17) Route 66
18) Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman
19) Forever Fernwood
20) Fernwood 2Night
21) America 2Night
22) Crazy Like a Fox
23) Gidget
24) The Flying Nun
25) Diff'rent Strokes
26) The Facts of Life
27) Hello, Larry
28) Silver Spoons
29) 227
30) The Burns & Allen Show
31) Sanford & Son
32) The Monkees
33) Square Pegs
34) Starsky & Hutch

There are over 350 shows that are owned by Screen Gems, now Columbia-Tristar Television, so it would be pretty hard to find a list of all it's shows, esp. since some are shortlived and have not been seen (or rarely seen) since it's original broadcast.

Screen Gems was started as the television division of Columbia Pictures. In 1975, the telvision division was renamed Columbia Pictures Television (the earliest CPT "tags" at the end of shows used the final "Screen Gems" music). When Columbia bought out TriStar in the 1990s, the television division was again renamed, to Columbia-TriStar Television.

Most of the shows in the Norman Lear catalog ("All in the Family", "Maude", "The Jeffersons") were not actually made by Columbia, but by Lear's own independent studios -- Tandem Productions and T.A.T. Communications. T.A.T. was acquired by Embassy in the early 1980s, and Embassy was acquired by Columbia in the mid 80s. Columbia now owns the negatives to those shows and has distribution rights, so I'm nitpicking.

The daytime soap "Days of Our Lives" was also produced by Screen Gems in the 1960s and early 70s. So was "The Flintstones", in association with Hanna-Barbera (the episodes still have a Screen Gems credit in the closing credits).
