A Foul Tempered Woman Productions

Background

This was the vanity card of Katherine Green, executive producer of the 1992 Fox comedy Rachel Gunn, R.N.

(June 28-September 4, 1992)

Logo: On a gold background, the words "A Foul Tempered Woman" fade in (in upper and lower case), and then "PRODUCTIONS" fades in below that (in all caps). A squiggly curve design with an arrow on the end then fades in and completes its run. An animated woman's arm with a gray long-sleeved dress, long red fingernails, and a red ring on the fourth finger then reaches up to the top right-hand corner of the screen to rip that background away, revealing the then-current (1991-93) version of the Columbia Pictures Television Torch Lady underneath it (either with the "IAW" text above in the first seven episodes or nothing above for the remainder of the show).

Variant: Later prints of the pilot have the logo slowed down a bit and it also freezes just before the arm comes into the frame.

Technique: 2D Animation.

Music/Sounds: A short piano tune plays as the logo forms, then an angry woman saying gibberish (kinda like she's saying "Chichair Frostos"), and the sound of paper being crumpled as the woman rips the background away.

Availability: Extinct, was only seen on the 1992 Fox sitcom Rachel Gunn, R.N.
