Blessard Animation Productions

Background
Blessard Animation Productions was a production company ran by Byron Blessard. It was a subdivision of Route 90 Publishing, who had acquired the license to produce a television adaptation of the graphic novel series "The Halloween Gang". Blessard and Strange produced a television film as a pilot for the new series on ABC, but around the time it was going to debut, ABC had went to the Q5 agency to help fix the network's low ratings and as a result they produced new shows and remodeled still-running ones to fit the criteria established by Q5. While Blessard ran with the deal, Strange protested, leading to the both of them splitting up their shares of the show; Strange would remain credited on the show's first season and have full control over a syndicated version while Blessard had full control of the network version. After ABC cancelled the show, Blessard produced a relaunch for syndication, which was reviled. From then, the company became dormant and remained active in-name only.

Variant:


 * An in-credit version was seen on the ABC run of The Halloween Gang.
 * On the pilot telefilm for the aforementioned series, an additional credit was made for Gecko Studios.

FX/SFX: The wipe.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the program.

Availability: Extinct on TV. This was seen on the fourth through sixth seasons of The Halloween Gang. Due to the episodes airing on low-profile stations, the series wasn't as known during its heyday, with confirmation coming only after Blessard uploaded the episodes on YouTube and early in 2000 with Strange having caught it and lampooning it in a show he made.
