Logo: We start at the Re-TV Video Library logo, with a Columbia House byline. The arrows then spin towards us, then they overlap, showing lots of old shows (some of which being Gilligan's Island, M*A*S*H, and The Beverly Hillbillies). Across the screen, quotes from various shows slide across the screen. It then goes back to its normal state for a split second, then turning blue and fades in, just like before, showing more shows and quotes. Then, 4 triangles fade into 1, then another triangle appears, flipping back into the Re-TV logo. The whole logo then flips up, showing the title of the tape.

Variants:

At the end of the tapes, a telephone number and a PO box address for Re-TV appears.
A different ending appears on Looney Tunes tapes. The Re-TV title slide is replaced with "presents" and then a CGI version of the merchandising Looney Tunes logo appears, and then it shows the title.

Technique: Computer animation.

Music/Sounds: A jazzy tune for the first part, and a western-like tune for the second. The jazz tune comes back when the finished logo appears.

Availability: So far, it is known to appear on Looney Tunes tapes, such as Running Amuck and Daffy Doodles, both available on the Internet Archive, as well as others, including Wonder Woman.
