Paramount Television Blue Mountain on DVD

[stevea]

Most Family Ties episodes have the original, in syndication, yet, IIRC.

Fingers crossed that the 1982 tall-peak Blue Mountain logo will still be saved on the following future DVD releases:
THE RENEGADES (6 episodes+1 2-hour TV movie pilot, March 4-April 8, 1983)
RYAN'S FOUR (5 episodes+1 unaired, April 5-27, 1983)
and possibly
THE CAVANAUGHS (26 episodes, December 1, 1986-March 9, 1987 for season 1 and August 8, 1988-July 27, 1989 for season 2)

Did you ever see that CBS comedy in its original run then?

No, sorry. I only brought this up knowing what you remember of it.

However, the Blue Mountain logo would really only be on season 1. Season 2 should have had the CGI Mountain logo.

bmasters9,

You are correct that the Blue Mountain logo was indeed oddly used on the second season of THE CAVANAUGHS!

It's the same telecined version (where the logo starts out still, then moves so the word Television appears, then goes back to being still)... and also has the 1979 jingle! That is exactly what we also saw on MacGYVER, THE NEW LOVE, AMERICAN STYLE, HARD KNOCKS and FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE SERIES, the miniseries THE JESSE OWENS STORY and reruns of the classic STAR TREK.

Like I said on HTF, I'm pleased about you unearthing this long-lost childhood memory, and very thankful. I had done many fruitless searches on this CBS comedy, only to have it be that unrelated webseries of the same name (you've probably never heard of it). Maybe all I had to do was put "1988" in the search bar, and I was all set.

That said, I always thought (prior to my memory being jogged here) that the Mandy logo here was on a purple gradient background (the CLG Wiki having a picture of that), but it was on a white background. I think that such a thing (and the IAW notation on it) ought to be on the CLG Wiki.
