Jim Owens Entertainment, Inc.

(Early 1990s-)

WARNING: The video is a little loud, we recommend that you should lower the volume before watching.

Nicknames: "Fat Lady with Cymbals", "The RFD-TV Logo", "Screaming Opera Lady", "That Odd Logo from RFD-TV", "Oz Film Company's Louder Cousin", "Opera Lady of Doom," "The Nick Opera ID Lady's Evil Twin","It Ain't Over Until The Fat Lady Screams"

Logo: On a black background, we see the text "JIM OWENS ENTERTAINMENT INC. All Rights Reserved". Above it is a video of an obese woman with a viking helmet, dressed up in viking garb and holding two cymbals. She yells "HoahhoahAAAAAAAOOOOOOH!" and then crashes the cymbals.

Variants:

A variant with different text has been spotted on a syndicated episode of Crook & Chase. Above the video are the words "Syndicated by Genter Media", the lower-left hand side reads "Distributed by", followed by the 1983 TNN print logo on a white background, and the lower-right hand side reads "A Division of Jim Owens Entertainment, Inc. All Rights Reserved".

Another version of the logo is seen with bold text that reads "Distributed by Jim Owens Entertainment, Inc.".

A rare variant was also discovered. It showed "Distributed by" on the top of the The Nashville Network taking over the first half of the screen. On the bottom left shows a still image of the fat lady, beside it to the right reads: "A Division of Jim Owens Entertainment All Rights Reserved".

FX/SFX: It's live-action.

Music/Sounds: The lady "singing", for lack of a better term, and the cymbals.

Availability: Seen on reruns of Pop! Goes The Country on RFD-TV. The first variant has been seen on a syndicated episode of Crook & Chase.

Editor's Note: The fat lady's singing and crashing is bound to scare more than a few people, especially if unexpected. Otherwise, you'll just be confused at this logo, or might even find it funny.
