Line 210 ⟶ 168: The show was produced by Running Gag Productions for Century Video Corporation and distributed by The Entertainment Network. If I'm not mistaken, the show was released in 1983 and I don't think it had much episodes. Besides, I've heard that the show was telecast on one of the NBC affiliates, but I'm not sure if any other television stations telecast this show. Anyhow, the show had several VHS releases over the years by several outfits. AFAIK, the original VHS releases were by Century Home Video (which I assume was the DBA name for Century Video Corporation), under their children's division label Kidtime Video (or better known as "Century Home Video Presents Kidtime Video"). Another outfit that released VHS tapes of the show was CinemaKid Productions, which released their VHS tapes of the show in 1986. The Century Home Video releases were later re-released sometime in the late 1980s/early 1990s by Simitar Entertainment and TAV/ATI Video (formerly known as Trans-Atlantic Video, also a merger with duplicator ATI Mark V Products). The Simitar Entertainment re-releases preserved the Kidtime Video logos and the original closing bumpers on the video content; the Kidtime Video logo was also preserved on the packaging covers (this is likely how the original Century Home Video releases were presented), but neither of those were preserved on the TAV/ATI re-releases and the TAV/ATI re-releases simply replaced the Kidtime Video logo on the covers with the TAV/ATI one. It also spawned a soundtrack album which was released on vinyl.

I wonder which duplication firm(s) were responsible for the 1994-1997 Canadian-distributed copies of ABC Video and ESPN Home Video tapes?
