New "Desilu Studios" a shell

[tropicjeff 25]

I guess there will be no new Desilu Productions! (I was hoping that we could at least get a Desilu logo shirt or hat....)

This whole thing seemed shady from the start.

Very much so! 

I'm still fascinated at the labyrinth of ownership of the Desilu name and the way it has been passed down from Gulf and Western, to Paramount, Viacom and back to CBS. It's a shame that if it isn't actively being used as an imprint by CBS it can't be revived, if only as an official stamp for the ILL Christmas Specials, for instance, and any of the other retro programming CBS and Viacom plan to do.
