It opened up in 1982 as a branding/advertising company named "Fred/Alan" in association with Alan Goodman. Fred/Alan worked for MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, Lifetime, Swatch, WNET, KPXM, HA! TV Comedy Network, Comedy Central, and also became Nickelodeon's advertising agency.

The company moved to Los Angeles in August 1998 and became "Frederator Studios".

(September 10, 1988-1997)
Logo: On a background of blue-gray diagonal stripes, We see a city skyline with an orange/red gradient sky, bordered by a blue-gray frame with a shadow on the background. A large white sun emerges from the skyline. Then from the top right, the text "Chauncey Street Productions, Inc." spins and zooms in and places itself on the sun.

Variants:
 * On early Kids' Choice Awards, the logo appears superimposed in black and white. The frame looks like TV static instead of a solid border, and there is a large outline under the sun.
 * On Kids' Court, instead of the text spinning, it flies down to the sun. Also, the copyright stamp from the show's credits is present on the logo.
 * On The Movie Masters, it has the variant above, but the logo is in black and white and has no copyright stamp.
 * On Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!: A Royal Pain in the News, the frame is absent, the sky is blue, and the sun is yellow.

Technique: Computer animation.

Music/Sounds: A crumbling noise over the closing theme. On Kids' Court and The Movie Masters, there is no crumbling noise. The latter TV show also had a voiceover, where Peter Pratt says "This is a Chauncey Street production".

Availability: Was seen on Nickelodeon GUTS, Global GUTS, Talent Pool, Kids' Court, and U to U. Also appears on the game show The Movie Masters, early Kids' Choice Awards and Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!: A Royal Pain in the News.
