Paramount Pictures Television

NOTE : Has no relation to then-corporate sibling "Paramount Television Productions", and its later incarnations of this.

Background : Paramount Pictures' second attempt in the television industry began in 1959 as "Paramount Pictures Television" when they produced the television movie Destination Space for CBS. They've also co-produced six unsold pilots with Tandem Productions such as Henry T. and Meet Me At Danny's. The division shuttered in the mid-1960s.

(1959-1961)
Nickname : "Majestic Mountain"

Logo : It's the same as their movie counterpart of the time, but with several differences:


 * This time it's referred as "Paramount Pictures", not as "A Paramount Picture".
 * The text "PRODUCED BY", in a Times New Roman-like font, appears above the Paramount name.

Variant : On Three to Get Ready, "PRODUCED BY" is absent.

FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor : The clouds moving.

Music/Sounds : A majestic fanfare.

Availability : Ultra rare, as this only appeared on public domain video releases of the 1959 TV movie Destination Space and the failed pilot Three to Get Ready.

Editor's Note : This is the first time a Paramount movie logo was used for television.
