** Also counts for the UK version - the first two series were made by TVS (the ITV company for the South of England which produced and networked the show) whose archive ended up in rights hell after the paperwork went missing[[note]] It began when TVS decided to purchase MTM Enterprises (the creators of ''Series/TheMaryTylerMooreShow'', ''Series/WKRPInCincinnati'', and others), and got heavily into debt, and as a result lost their broadcasting rights to Meridian, and it was then sold to International Family Entertainment, the holding company for what is now [[Creator/ABCFamily Freeform]], spun off from Pat Robertson's CBN organization.
