Burbank Video
Burbank Video was originally formed in July 1984 by Robert T. Moore and William G. Moore as a special interest home video supplier. Some of its first titles were educational programs.
History[edit]
In 1972, James "Jim" E. McGraw formed a music and video distribution company based in Burbank, California, called Viking Records & Accessories. The company eventually became Viking Entertainment Corporation in 1986.
In 1981, a home video label based in Chicago, Illinois, called SRO Video, was formed; this label generally specialized in public domain product. In 1984, a home video label based in Los Angeles, California, called Video-SIG was formed; this label specialized in both workout and public domain product. Around 1982, SRO Video moved to Los Angeles, California and was renamed to Opening Night Productions. In 1984, Opening Night Productions was renamed again, to Curtain Call Video (also known as Curtain Call Productions). Around 1985, Viking Records & Accessories acquired Curtain Call Video. The label was later renamed to Viking Video Classics and its location was consolidated. In January 1988, Viking Entertainment became a subsidiary of Troy, Michigan-based Handleman Company; the acquisition was announced as early as November 1987. At the time, it was estimated that Viking's library consisted of over 600 public domain titles. Later, by early 1988, Viking Video Classics was also known as Troy Gold. James E. McGraw would remain president of Viking Entertainment for a few years. Sometime in July 1988, Viking Entertainment acquired Burbank Video and Video-SIG; Video-SIG was presumably consolidated into Burbank Video afterwards. By Q1 1989, Viking Entertainment consolidated its entire home video operations, namely the aforementioned Video Classics/Troy Gold, under the Burbank Video moniker.
In late 1990, nearby home video label Active Home Video, then a rival in the B-movie industry, was absorbed into Burbank Video. That November, Viking Entertainment began trading under the name "Burbank Home Entertainment". By April 1991, Viking Entertainment presumably went under; McGraw announced that he was retiring, and thus, the company's distribution centers were merged with those of parent Handleman, while the rest of the company's assets were merged with those of sister company Video Treasures. As a result, Burbank Video became a division of Video Treasures, with some of VT's library, mainly public domain material, being shifted to the Burbank label. Not long prior to this, two more nearby home video labels that generally specialized in B-movies were absorbed into Burbank Video: Jenal Entertainment and American Video; the latter which was a division of Powersports Video. Prior to that, Jenal absorbed Bingo Video, another obscure B-movie label, around 1990.
In 1993, The Avengers star Patrick Macnee and then-rightsholder Lumiere Pictures filed lawsuits against several bargain home video labels, which he referred to as "The Pirates," over unauthorized home video releases of several The Avengers episodes, which, for a long time, were believed to have fallen into the public domain. Among those were not only Burbank Video, but also Hollywood Select Video, Shokus Video, EMG Video, Passport International Productions, Video Images and Showcase Productions. Macnee threatened to plank the companies in the ocean, and the companies were demanded to pay the heavy damages. Shortly after the lawsuits were settled, the legal copyright to the entire series would be re-confirmed. Burbank Video eventually launched a line of reissues of public domain feature-length titles, "Hollywood Favorites", in the spring of 1993. Video Treasures later merged with Starmaker Entertainment, which Handleman acquired in mid-1994, to form Anchor Bay Entertainment in May 1995. By the end of 1995, the Burbank Video label was phased out.

Trivia[edit]
- The on-screen logo that has appeared on most of this label's releases since 1988 is most remembered for its jingle being a quarter-minute, slightly high-pitched excerpt from a 5-minute rendition of the overture to the five-act opera "Ruslan and Lyudmila" by Russian classical music fountainhead Mikhail Glinka, performed by the New Philharmonia Orchestra; this excerpt in particular concluding with a fading-out repeat of the eighth note, in lieu of the twenty-second note.
- On some 1990-1991 releases with this and the warning screens preceding it, this logo is followed by a few seconds of a silent, faintly seen color bars test pattern, before the start of the actual program. The Cisco Kid Vol. 2 and The Cisco Kid Vol. 3 were among the last Burbank Video releases in this manner.
- On some 1991-1992 releases with this and the warning screens preceding it, they are both ripped from a slightly lower-quality master tape (likely on U-matic). Additionally, on such releases, the fade out of the logo would be cut off. The Cisco Kid Vol. 4, The Cisco Kid Vol. 5 and Hopalong Cassidy's Colt Comrades, False Colors, Santa Fe Marshal, Texas Masquerade and Mystery Man were among the first Burbank Video releases in this manner.
- This label was notorious for modifying prints of certain public domain films or programs for most of their 1989-1990 releases, particularly by ripping off the infamous Raymond Rohauer (who had passed away over a year earlier), i.e. adding goofy so-called "enhanced" music cues and sound effects, and placing their own notices, usually a copyright one, which always said "COPYRIGHT 1989 BURBANK VIDEO", in the opening title cards to the films or programs. Most such releases have the notice "THIS FILM IS COPYRIGHTED [year] BURBANK VIDEO AND CONTAINS ADDED MUSIC." on the back of the cover, usually at the far right-hand corner. A few other releases of the era instead just have "THIS FILM IS COPYRIGHTED [year] BURBANK VIDEO".
- Most 1990-1992 releases have the notice "This film is copyrighted © [year] BURBANK VIDEO" on the back of the cover, usually at the far right-hand corner.
- One exception is the above mentioned "Abbott & Costello - Colgate Comedy Hour" VHS releases, which instead have the notice "© 1990 BY ABBOTT & COSTELLO ENTERPRISES". This is particularly despite the fact that the entire Colgate Comedy Hour series (let alone the episodes featuring Abbott & Costello) has always been in the public domain, due to NBC and/or Colgate-Palmolive (formerly known as Colgate-Palmolive-Peet) never bothering to register copyrights to any of the episodes.
- So far, according to the U.S. Copyright Office's public catalog, this label attempted to register copyrights to the masters intended for more than 30 of its mainly public domain releases between 1989-1990.[1]
- At least one known copy of Planet of the Dinosaurs from this label, printed around H2 1991, was recycled from an unsold Media Home Entertainment tape. The irony of this fact in particular is the similarities both labels had.
- Some 1991-1992 tape printings from this label were recycled from unsold pre-1991 Video Treasures tapes.
