Bumper (October 1980-July 1982)

Visuals: Essentially just the orange text "ALSO FROM" above the MGM/CBS Home Video logo on a black background.

Trivia: Whenever this bumper was shown, the previews that followed were for the same three movies: Fame, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and The Wizard of Oz. However, there were exceptions:

The MGM/CBS releases of Silk Stockings, The Sunshine Boys, Till the Clouds Roll by, Rio Lobo and some copies of The Horse That Played Centerfield all use only the Fame trailer.
Meet Me in St. Louis excludes the 2001 trailer.
Ben-Hur and North by Northwest both exclude the Wizard of Oz trailer.
The actual release of Fame excludes its own trailer.

Technique: A still graphic.

Audio: A jazzy, 6-note trumpet theme that sounds rather similar to the 1978 Filmways Television logo.

Availability: Seen on most MGM/CBS Home Video releases.^[Examples?]
