Nikndaph Productions

(June 12, 1989-October 16, 1991)


Nickname: "Way to Go, Dad!"

Logo: On a white background, we see a pastel drawing of a boy in a blue suit with a red necktie and gray pants, and he has his left arm around a little girl (probably his little sister). In front of the drawing are the words "NiKNDAPH PRODUCTIONS". "NiKNDAPH" is in large, colorful crayon lettering (and the "i" is intentionally lower-cased), while "PRODUCTIONS" is underneath in a small white font.

Variant: On the TV pilot of Steel Magnolias, the letter "A" is seen above the name and the word "and" below it reading as "A Nikndaph Productions and".

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: Either the end theme or a little boy saying, "Way to go, Dad!", followed by a man saying, "Okay, thank you", with some clapping and cheering in the background.

Availability: Extremely rare. This was seen on Doctor, Doctor, which can be streamed on CTV Throwback. It's also seen on the short-lived CBS sitcom Teech and the TV pilot of Steel Magnolias.

Legacy: The picture done in pastel makes it look distorted and the voice-overs don't even match with what is shown. Also, from the name "NikNDaph", we can assume that the kids' names in the drawing are "Nick" and "Daph" (or "Daphne"), respectively. However, that doesn't explain why the logo couldn't have just used "Nick N' Daph Productions" instead. The Steel Magnolias variant is grammatically incorrect as it should be "A Nikndaph Production and".
