Semi-Tough TV Show question (1 Viewer)

Looking into IMDB, I read that the short-lived TV Show version of Semi-Tough was produced by Universal TV. However, the movie it was based on was produced by United Artists (during the Transamerica era). What's up with that?

I dont know but since the show was done on 2-inch, it's probably a moot point as the Universal tapes went up in the fire.

Which brings up a disturbing reminder that there are a lot of TV shows from the 70s-80s that may be "lost" thanks to the fire that we will never fully realize. The R4 release of the 1987 series 'The Law And Harry McGraw' carries a disclaimer that because of the fire there is only one set of extant prints avaiable of the show that they had to use for the release and they are sad to say, not very good quality, at times having the look of someone's old VHS recordings.
