in a 1950s neon font fades in and shines. Above five seconds later the word "PRESENTS" fades in below the "8". A few seconds later, the text dissolves into "EXCERPTS FROM" in the same typeface. It then immediately cuts into the program.

Technique: The text fading in and the shining.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Extremely rare. Can likely be seen on any program released by the company.
