Spelling-Goldberg Productions


Spelling-Goldberg Productions was an American television production company established on May 1, 1972 by Aaron Spelling and Screen Gems' top TV executive Leonard Goldberg. They produced series during the 1970s including Family, Starsky & Hutch, T. J. Hooker, S.W.A.T., Charlie's Angels, Fantasy Island, and Hart to Hart. Spelling's other companies, Aaron Spelling Productions and Thomas-Spelling Productions, co-existed at the same time period and produced other well-known shows. A majority of the series produced by Spelling-Goldberg originally aired on ABC and are currently owned by Sony Pictures Television.

History

In 1973, Spelling-Goldberg struck a deal with Metromedia Producers Corporation to distribute the post-1973 output for off-net syndication, including TV movies and the new Chopper One. It was involved in a lawsuit with Worldvision Enterprises, the very first distributor of The Rookies; following the lawsuit, domestic syndication of The Rookies would be contracted out to Viacom Enterprises, which would distribute the program through the 1990s.
Spelling and Goldberg decided to part ways, and on June 27, 1977, the duo sold four of its series to Columbia Pictures Television including S.W.A.T., Starsky & Hutch, Charlie's Angels and Family. On May 17, 1982, the company was sold to Columbia Pictures for more than $40 million. Sony Pictures Television currently owns the Spelling-Goldberg television library. By May 1986, all of the Spelling-Goldberg's active operations went out of business after the last episode of T.J. Hooker aired.
In 2015, many of these series are now seen on Cozi TV.
