(Early 1990s-)

 WARNING:  The video is a little loud, we recommend that you should lower the volume before watching.

Nicknames: "Fat Lady with Cymbals", "The RFD-TV Logo", "Screaming Opera Lady", "That Odd Logo from RFD-TV", "Oz Film Company's Louder Cousin", "Opera Lady of Doom," "The Nick Opera ID Lady's Evil Twin","It Ain't Over Until The Fat Lady Screams"

Logo: On a black background, we see the text "JIM OWENS ENTERTAINMENT INC. All Rights Reserved". Above it is a video of an obese woman with a viking helmet, dressed up in viking garb and holding two cymbals. She yells "HoahhoahAAAAAAAOOOOOOH!" and then crashes the cymbals.

Variants:


 * A variant with different text has been spotted on a syndicated episode of Crook & Chase. Above the video are the words "Syndicated by Genter Media", the lower-left hand side reads "Distributed by", followed by the 1983 TNN print logo on a white background, and the lower-right hand side reads "A Division of Jim Owens Entertainment, Inc. All Rights Reserved".


 * Another version of the logo is seen with different text that reads "Distributed by Jim Owens Entertainment, Inc.".


 * A rare variant was also discovered. It showed "Distributed by" on the top of the The Nashville Network taking over the first half of the screen. On the bottom left shows a still image of the fat lady, beside it to the right reads: "A Division of Jim Owens Entertainment. All Rights Reserved".

FX/SFX: It's live-action.

Music/Sounds: The lady "singing", for lack of a better term, and the cymbals.

Availability: Seen on reruns of Pop! Goes The Country on RFD-TV. The first variant has been seen on a syndicated episode of Crook & Chase.

Editor's Note: The fat lady's singing and crashing is bound to scare more than a few people, especially if unexpected. Otherwise, you'll just be confused at this logo, or might even find it funny.
