(September 30, 1982-May 27, 1984) Nicknames: "The Ink Bottle," "Mouse Trap" Logo: On a tan texture background, and on the far right of the screen, we see a small black ink bottle with the word white word "Inc." printed on it in a script font, which is obviously a play on words. The lid of the ink bottle is open and tilted to the right, and we can see a white quill sticking out that is tilted to the left. To the left of the ink bottle is the word "Eilenna" in a larger white script font, aligned to the far left. Below "Eilenna" is the word "Productions" in a white script font the same size as "Inc.," aligned right. Below the script text and ink bottle is the white text "In Association With," which is in the same font as the opening credits and beginning the closing credits for the short-lived TV series Life Goes On, as well as the font for the early Toots Productions logo used on Life Goes On. FX/SFX: Along with a quill in the ink bottle is a tiny pair of arms the same color as the background. The arms rise up out of the bottle and whatever the arms are attached to (a mouse perhaps?) struggles to get out of the bottle by waving its arms in the air and then holding on to the rim of the ink bottle. Music/Sounds: The end theme of Fame. Availability: Seen on the second and third seasons of the 1982-1987 television series Fame, which is currently being reran on MGM's cable network. Editor's Note: The fact that only the arms of whatever is in the ink bottle are visible may frighten some people, but you might just feel sorry for the poor little thing who is stuck inside the bottle.
