LMNO Productions

1st Logo

(1996-2000)

Nickname: "The Color Script Letters" Logo: On a gray metal background, we see the letters "LMNO" in a blocky, Pac-Man-esque font. Over the letters are the lowercase letters "lmno" in a lowercase, colorful script font. Under the letters is the word "PRODUCTIONS". FX/SFX: None. Music/Sounds: Usually, the ending theme of the show or a generic theme on CBS. Seasons 2 to 4 of Kids Say the Darndest Things, the short lived show How'd They Do That?, and the 1995 Murphy Brown special uses a short piano tune with some children shouting "Thank you for watching!", though not very easy to understand. Music/Sound Variant: The first season of Kids Say the Darndest Things (like other LMNO-produced shows) had the theme playing over it. Availability: Seen on the 1995 Murphy Brown special last aired on Nick at Nite in 2005,Kids Say the Darndest Things as well as Guinness World Records: Primetime. 2nd Logo

(2000-2004)

Nickname: "The Red Script Letters" Logo: A black rectangle on a white background falls to the center of the screen, with the letters "LMNO" in white in the same font as the first logo. Over the letters, the lowercase letters "lmno" in the same script font as the previous, are written in. Under it, the word "PRODUCTIONS" slides in like construction paper. Variant: On WinTuition, the word "CABLE GROUP" replaces "PRODUCTIONS". FX/SFX: The slide-in, which looks like construction paper. Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show. Availability: Extinct. Seen on WinTuition, among other shows.

3rd Logo

(2006?-????)

""Logo: On a white background, four TV's go up and down, forming the LMNO logo. Here is the animation, as follows: The left and center right TV's descend forming the "L" and the "N" in the logo, while the center left and right TV's ascend, forming the "M" and the "O" in the logo. As soon as the TV's ascend/descend forming the logo, the end result, is the LMNO logo, with each letter in black squares, with red letters in a different font over the white capital letters, similar to the previous logos and the words "CABLE GROUP" below the squares. Far below the logo, is copyright information.

FX/SFX: The TV's ascending/descending and turning on to form the logo.

Music/Sounds: A "twinkling" piano sound, followed by a static-like sound, similar to a TV being cut on and electric whirring throughout.

Availability: Seen on the "The Dr. Keith Ablow Show", and perhaps other shows from the era.
