'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. The in-credit text for the Carruthers Company and Warner Bros. Television appeared on three short-lived game shows: ''The Neighbors'', ''Give-N-Take'', and ''Second Chance'', all of which were not preserved due to network practices at the time. The Carruthers/ABC text is seen on the un-aired 1975 pilot for ''Beat The Odds''. This made its first known appearances on two pilots for ''Big Spenders'', taped for NBC in October 1974. |

Michael Bass, bmasters9, and codyfinke2
(May 18, 1983-September 26?, 1986)
Logo: As superimposed on Press Your Luck, we see the text:
A
Carruthers (__/\__) Company
Presentation
©[YEAR]
Between "Carruthers" and "Company" is a rounded rectangle with a small spike in the middle.
Variant: On the pilot of Press Your Luck, it was like this:
A CARRUTHERS CO.
PRODUCTION
IN ASSOCIATION WITH
CBS TELEVISION, INC.
© 1983
Rod did not sign off on the pilot, though.
Technique: None, it's superimposed, except for that choppy "wipe" effect from the CBS Television City mentioning to the logo.
Music/Sounds/Voice-over: The ending theme of Press Your Luck with Rod Roddy saying, "This is Rod Roddy speaking for Press Your Luck, A Carruthers Company Presentation!"
Availability: Uncommon. Only seen on Press Your Luck, and even then this was uncommon for many years due to GSN's "credit crunch" practices. However, this is shown in its entirety on BUZZR.
