Geffen Television was a television production company formed by David Geffen as a division of Geffen Pictures in association with Warner Bros. Television. The record label subsidiary, Geffen Records, which at that time was a division of Warner Bros. Records (now Warner Records and a part of the now-separate Warner Music Group), was later sold to the MCA Music Entertainment group upon Geffen Television's short lifespan. After Beetlejuice, the TV series adaptation of the film of the same name, was cancelled in 1992, Geffen Television eventually dissolved.
