And more than any other, Warners' was one studio you could recognize with, quite literally, your eyes closed: the sound of their studio orchestra was the most distinctive in town from the '30s through the '60s. That was true even after they got into television production in the '50s; I was watching a Maverick episode a while back, and recognized a recycled music cue from The Big Sleep.

Oh, yes. Never thought of that before. And what television productions they did at Warners. They were my staple back in the days of Maverick, 77 Sunset Strip, et al! Those were the days!!

I remember how disheartened I was when they became, for a time, Columbia/Warner Brothers. Seeing that tower without the WB logo on it was hard. So glad when they went back to being Warner Brothers. Well, of course, it's a mega-corporation today, but at least it still looks like its old self, save the loss of the Western backlot to a parking lot -- oh, I'm going to shut up now. Change is inevitable, of course, but for me it's often unbearable.
