Mindless EntertainmentThis is a featured page

Logo description and capture by Shadeed A. Kelly


Background: Mindless Entertainment was formed in 1997 by Mark Cronin famous for producing Cram and The X Show. In 2004, Cronin merged his company with Cris Abrego's 51 Pictures (formerly Brass Ring Productions) to form 51 Minds Entertainment. Today, News Corporation owns The X Show and Beat the Geeks, GSN owns Cram, and the remaining of the series is owned by 51 Minds Entertainment, an Endemol Company.


(1999-2008)

Nicknames: "Mindless Brain", "Mindless", "The Scribble"
Mindless Entertainment: 1999-2004
Logo: On a white background, there is a mindless brain, which happens to be in scribble zooming-in and spinning clockwise on the left side while the words "Mindless" is spelled and "Entertainment" flies in from the left.

Variant: In 2007, the logo is sped-up.

FX/SFX: The names appearing.

Cheesy Factor: The way "Entertainment" flies in is tacky, like the Charles-Burrows-Charles Productions and the 1975-1987 Paramount Television logos.

Music/Sounds: A sound of an electric guitar that plays three notes and later holding a fourth note
in a crazed, noisy fashion. On Cram, the end title theme of the show plays over the logo while the logo theme is playing.

Availability: Uncommon. Seen on Cram on GSN, The X Show on FX, Beat the Geeks, The Surreal Life, and The Flavor of Love 2. Still intact on The Flavor of Love on TV Guide Network. Used during the first four years under 51 Minds Entertainment.


Scare Factor: Low.
