Yes, but for some reason the Veridian logo is blanked out.

ETA: The Veridian name, sorry.

It’s odd. It’s not missing on all of them. Just several episodes like 4-8 or something. The text comes back at the end of season 1 and are there though all of season 2. Or something like that.

And now Veridian is smiling because by trying to figure out where the logo is on some episodes, you are thinking of them and therefore that’s free publicity… 😉

Portia De Rossi’s character delivers a line in one episode that I’ve used many times in internet arguments:

I watched it when it originally aired and then several times since. So good. I haven’t watched it in a while. Might be time for another rewatch.

Was either my favorite or close to favorite show when it aired. Haven’t seen it since, but it looks like it might be on youtube. (The full pilot episode is, for sure, as it’s next in queue after letting the outtake video finish.)
