Merv Griffin Enterprises
Merv Griffin Enterprises was a television production company founded by Merv Griffin, in business from 1964 to 1994.
==History==
The company was first established as Milbarn Productions in 1963 and later as Merv Griffin Productions in 1964. Griffin's first production under the Milbarn name was ''Word for Word'' and ''Jeopardy!'' as Griffin's first production under the MGP name. In 1965, his talk show ''The Merv Griffin Show'' returned to television. Griffin also created the game show ''Shopper's Bazaar'', which was later changed to the famous name ''Wheel of Fortune'' in 1975 after ''Jeopardy!'' was cancelled. Griffin revived ''Jeopardy!'' as ''The All New Jeopardy!'' in 1978, though it was proven to be unsuccessful. Merv Griffin Productions also owned the post-production studio Trans-American Video (TAV) that was founded on June 29, 1981.〔(Google Books - Lights, Camera, Computers! InfoWorld, June 20, 1983 )〕
In 1982, the company joined forces with King World (now CBS Television Distribution) to syndicate a nightly version of ''Wheel of Fortune''. The company also had the rights to syndicate ''The Merv Griffin Show'' until 1986 when Columbia Pictures Television distributed the final episodes. KW also distributed the first two pilots of ''Jeopardy'' in 1983 and January 9, 1984. In 1984, Griffin expanded his company as Merv Griffin Enterprises. That same year, ''Jeopardy!'' also returned to television on September 10. On May 5, 1986, Griffin sold the company to The Coca-Cola Company (then-owner of Columbia Pictures Industries) for $250 million during his semi-retirement. TAV however, was not included in the deal. Griffin however, still held the copyrights of the game shows. The company later merged into Columbia Pictures on December 21, 1987, and was sold to Sony Corporation along with CPE's other companies on November 8, 1989.
Merv Griffin Enterprises was folded into Columbia TriStar Television (now Sony Pictures Television) on June 4, 1994. ''Jeopardy!'' and ''Wheel of Fortune'' were taken over by CTT starting in September of that year, while Griffin remained executive producer for both game shows until 2000.〔"Los Angeles Times" (Company Town Annex ) articles.latimes.com, Retrieved on July 1, 2013〕〔"New York Times" (Sony-Griffin Deal ) nytimes.com, Retrieved on July 1, 2013〕 Griffin later founded Merv Griffin Entertainment on May 13, 1996.〔"Business Profiles / New York" (MERV GRIFFIN ENTERTAINMENT, INC. ) businessprofiles.com, Retrieved on February 10, 2013〕
