Imagine Television Studios

Background
Imagine Entertainment first went into television in November 1985, around the same time when the company was founded. The company relaunched in early 1997 with a deal at Walt Disney Television which would expire at the end of 2000, when they teamed up with 20th Century Fox Television for the development of its series.
