(March 24, 1978-June 15, 1983)
Nickname: "Good Night, Mr. Walters!"
Logo: We see a clip of a stereotypical businessman named Mr. Walters (played by Ed Weinberger, a producer for this production company) leaving his office, with a credit superimposed over the clip stating:
A JOHN CHARLES WALTERS Production
This is usually followed with an "In Association With" screen.
Variants:
- The color of the text varies by show. The credit is yellow on Taxi, white on Cindy, and blue on The Associates.
- 1978-1979 episodes of Taxi included the "In Association With" notice on the logo itself, bypassing the separate screen.
- One holiday variant of the logo has the female voice calling after him, "Merry Christmas, Mr. Walters!".
- On Italian prints of Taxi, the text "Una produczione JOHN CHARLES WALTER in associazione con" is seen on a black background without the live-action footage and voices.
FX/SFX: It's all live-action.
Music/Sounds: The ending of the show's theme song combined with a female secretary saying, "Good night, Mr. Walters!", and Mr. Walters grumbling, probably from a hard day on the job. None for the Italian variant.
Availability: Rare, as it can be seen at the end of Taxi. This was also seen on the short-lived series The Associates and the 1978 TV movie Cindy.
Editor's Note: "Mr. Walters" is going in delayed motion (a la Mimsie the Cat). Despite that, this logo is a favorite of many.
