Special mention should be made to ''Series/{{Concentration}}'', which was licensed to Goodson-Todman by Creator/{{NBC}} (1973-78, 1987-91; also did five pilots in 1985). Because of NBC's refusal to do '''anything''' with the format or episodes, ''Concentration'' has never appeared in blooper specials - not even ''Series/GameShowMomentsGoneBananas'', a Fremantle-produced series of specials that dealt mostly with Goodson-Todman games.

''Flamingo Fortune'' originally used the Mark Goodson logo despite debuting in October 1995. It was quickly changed to son Jonathan's logo, but his credit was eventually ousted as well. Jonathan still produces games, but with the exception of ''Dirty Rotten Cheater'' they've only been for lotteries.

Special mention should be made to ''Series/{{Concentration}}'', which was licensed to Goodson-Todman by Creator/{{NBC}} (1973-78, 1987-91; also did five ten pilots in 1985). Because of NBC's refusal to do '''anything''' with the format or episodes, ''Concentration'' has never appeared in blooper specials - not even ''Series/GameShowMomentsGoneBananas'', a Fremantle-produced series of specials that dealt mostly with Goodson-Todman games.

Three lottery game shows which debuted after Goodson's death - ''Illinois Instant Riches'' (1994-98), ''Bonus Bonanza'' (1995-98), and ''Flamingo Fortune'' (1995-99) - originally used Mark's logo, as the Mark Goodson logo despite debuting in October 1995. It was quickly company's lottery division still existed. All three shows eventually changed to son Jonathan's logo, the logo for Jonathan Goodson's company, but his credit was eventually ousted from ''Flamingo'' as well. Jonathan still produces games, but with the exception of ''Dirty Rotten Cheater'' they've only been for lotteries.well due to a format overhaul in 1997.

After Goodson's death in December 1992, the company was sold to All-American Television. In 1998, All-American was bought out by Pearson Television, which in turn was bought out in 2002 by Creator/FremantleMedia.

Drew's first several taping sessions had continued using the Goodson logo and spiel, but was removed and replaced with ones for Fremantle.

Mark Goodson, along with Bill Todman, produced some of the most iconic and long-lasting {{Game Show}}s in television history. After Todman's death on July 29, 1979, the "Goodson-Todman" moniker continued until about March 1984. ''Child's Play'' was the first game show to use the "Mark Goodson Productions" logo in 1982.

After Goodson's death in December 1992, the company was sold to All-American Television. In 1998, All-American was bought out by Pearson Television, which in turn was bought out in 2002 by FremantleMedia. The "Mark Goodson Productions" logo remained in use during this time, but was eventually removed on August 15, 2007 when Drew Carey became host of ''The Price Is Right''. It was last seen on the October 12, 2007 repeat of Bob Barker's last show.

Special mention should be made to ''{{Concentration}}'', which was licensed to Goodson-Todman by Creator/{{NBC}} (1973-78, 1987-91; also did five pilots in 1985). Because of NBC's refusal to do '''anything''' with the format or episodes, ''Concentration'' has never appeared in blooper specials — not even ''GameShowMomentsGoneBananas'', a Fremantle-produced series of specials that dealt mostly with Goodson-Todman games.

''Flamingo Fortune'' originally used the Mark Goodson logo despite debuting in October 1995. It was quickly changed to son Jonathan's logo, but his credit was eventually ousted as well. Jonathan still produces games, but only for lotteries.
