Background: Acme Productions is the production company of Mindy Schultheis.

(October 5, 2001-)

Nicknames : "Ac-MEEEE!", "The Wrecking Ball"

Logo : Against a blue BG, three red oblong shapes with yellow outlines are seen. In front of that, an old brown TV set is with two large gray buttons seen with a wrecking ball just above it. The words

     ACME PRODUCTIONS

is shown on it in yellow, and in an arc, with "ACME" in bulging letters. The wrecking ball then drops down and smashes the TV.

FX/SFX : The smashing animation.

Music/Sounds :


 * 2001-2002: A guitar tune sounding like the Ren and Stimpy theme song was used.


 * 2002-present: Just a voice singing "Ac-MEEEE!" and the sound of the TV smashing, followed by a cough.


 * Occasionally, the end theme of the show plays over it.


 * When Fox originally aired The War at Home, a remixed version of the 1980 John Williams 20th Century Fox fanfare is heard instead.


 * The WB airings of Reba starting in 2004, CBS airings of Danny and ABC airings of Surviving Suburbia and Malibu Country used the network's generic theme and a voiceover.

Availability : Can still be found on Reba on CMT, Lifetime and syndication. It also appeared on The Exes, Malibu Country, The War at Home and Retired at 35. First seen on the ultra short-lived 2001 series Danny. Don't except to see the logo on Titus.

Editor's Note : None.
