Jim Owens Entertainment, Inc.

Background

This is the vanity plate of Jim Owens.

(April 1, 1986-)

Logo: On a black background, we see the text "JIM OWENS ENTERTAINMENT INC. All Rights Reserved". Above the text is a video of an obese woman wearing a viking helmet and viking garb, and holding two cymbals. She yells "HoahhoahAAAAAAAOOOOOOH!" and then crashes the cymbals.

Variants:

A variant with different text appeared on a syndicated episode of Crook & Chase. Above the video are the words "Syndicated by Genter Media", the lower-left hand side reads "Distributed by", with the 1983 Nashville Network print logo on a white background, and the lower-right hand side reads "A Division of Jim Owens Entertainment, Inc. All Rights Reserved".
Another variant exists where we see bold serif text that reads "Distributed by Jim Owens Entertainment, Inc.".
On From The Vault: Country Standard Time, a still of the opera lady is inside a rectangular box with the words "A Division of Jim Owens Entertainment All Rights Reserved" next to it.
- Another version of said variant has a still of the last shot and in its normal box size.

FX/SFX: Live action.

Music/Sounds: The lady singing, for lack of a better term, and the cymbals.

Availability: Uncommon. Seen on reruns of Pop! Goes The Country on RFD-TV. The first variant appeared on a syndicated episode of Crook & Chase. It is currently seen on reruns of aforementioned shows on Heartland.

Legacy: The fat lady's singing is bound to scare more than a few people, especially if unexpected. Otherwise, you'll just be confused at this logo, or might even find it funny.
