Eilenna Productions

Background
In 1981, after William Blinn and Jerry Thorpe broke their relationship, Blinn had set up his own solo company Eilenna Productions to produce the television series Fame. He continued producing the series, even after the move from NBC to syndication and Blinn was fired from the series in 1984, to join Lorimar Productions.

(September 30, 1982-May 27, 1984)


Visuals: 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 "Times New Roman" 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 "Times New Roman" in a larger white script font, aligned to the far left. Below "Times New Roman" is the word "Times New Roman" in a white script font the same size as "Times New Roman," aligned right. Below the script text and ink bottle is the white text "Times New Roman," 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.

Technique: Cel animation.

Audio: The end theme of Fame.

Availability: Seen on the second and third seasons of the 1982-1987 television series Fame. The first season only used an in-credit mention of the company.
