not sure if this should have been put on tvf, but anyway:
i haven't watched an episode of murder she wrote for many years but it came up randomly in a drunken coverstation... did it have a production caption at the end with a bloke sitting at a typewriter and throwing the piece of paper in the air to form part of a company logo? and what was the name of that company? and if it wasn't from murder she wrote, where is it from?

IIRC ... you're thinking of the production credit sequence of Stephen J Cannell Productions.

Yeah it is the one that DJGM's linked to on Wikipedia.
As you'll see from the article, it's not a Murder She Wrote exclusive.

Murder She Wrote was produced by Universal City Studios, not Steven Cannel, so no it didn't feature the typewriter sequence. However, Universal distributed The A-Team, which was made by Cannel. That's probably where you remembered it from.

You may also be pleased to hear that the set of their little villagey thing still exists to this day, and was used as Amityville in "Jaws".

I don't have the real one, but I do have the Family Guy version.
And they even re-created the
Stephen J. Cannell jingle. What geeks. I love them for it.

Hmm, maybe it was, though I could swear I've seen it on Murder She Wrote.
