Here’s an old one that stuck in my head even though I barely remember what shows they were attached to. It was a big, sweaty hand holding a chisel. A huge sledgehammer struck the chisel three times leaving behind roman numerals. I don’t remember the show or the numerals left behind, but I always remembered it. ---

Hey more is coming back to me. I believe there was a voice that intoned something like “This has been a Quinn-Martin production.” I’m I right? ---

A huge sledgehammer struck the chisel three times leaving behind roman numerals. I don’t remember the show or the numerals left behind, but I always remembered it. \*\* I also remember this one…it was “Mark (some Roman numeral)” I think. I just am not sure which Roman numeral. ---

I like the one where there is a paper dinosaur on a stick and someone pushing it across the screen and growling. I can’t remember the show! ---
