The rights to the Bakkers' story were sold to NBC Productions in 1987.

The show was produced by Lightkeeper Productions, and NBC Productions during the network run.

'Punky Brewster' was produced by NBC Productions from 1984 to 1986 .

Last year, NBC Productions made three pilots, but the network did not like any of them enough to go ahead.

NBC Productions picked up the show, and for its second run, the show's unconventional storytelling methods and jiggly cinema verite camera work were toned down.

NBC Productions also owns a share of this show.

New episodes stopped airing in Australia as NBC Productions judged it too expensive to clear music rights for international distribution.

NBC Productions, the network's rapidly growing in-house production company, is more than a hobby for Tartikoff; it represents a new challenge: the idea factory.

Essentially G.E. has given him that in NBC Productions.

Mr. Tartikoff called the building of NBC Productions "the single most important thing that was accomplished last season."
