(1983-1995)
Nicknames: "TPE", "Streaking TPE"
Logo: On a black background, the letter "T" "streaks" in from the left, "P" from the top, and "E" from the right ('80s-style streaks follow these letters). The letters are filled in blue. Above the letters reads "TELEVISION PROGRAM ENTERPRISES" with red lines above and below it, and below "A DIVISION OF TELEREP, INC." with lines in a similar fashion.
Variants:
The logo sometimes appeared without animation, in silence.
The logo also would be chromed-in on the scenery background of the show.
FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: The "streaking" in of the letters.
Music/Sounds: No music, but the end theme of the show might play through to this one. In exceptional cases, a generic theme was used.
Availability: Was once seen on episodes of Star Search and Lifestyles of the Rich And Famous, but TPE distributed shows from this period are probably updated with Rysher or other logos.
Scare Factor: Minimal; it might look a tad primitive (font-wise), but should be OK.
