Logo description and capture by Logophile
Background: Wapello County Productions was the production company of then-married couple Roseanne Barr (then Arnold) and Tom Arnold. The name comes from Ottumwa, Iowa, located in Wapello County, where Tom Arnold was originally from. The vanity card likely shut down after the couple's divorce in 1994.
(1992-1994?)
Logo: On a green hill in daytime with a big red barn in the middle with hay on the left side of the building and inside stick out of the top window and with a windmill on the right, an animated version of Roseanne and Tom Arnold on a motorcycle drive around the barn. After making the first round in front, leaves smoke, and after another go-around, stops in front of the barn door smiling with a wave towards the screen. As this happens, the smoke dissipates into "Wapello County Productions, Inc." in a cursive font.
Variant: This was shortened on The Rosey and Buddy Show right before the make their way to the front of the barn and stop. On The Jackie Thomas Show, it was slightly shortened again from the previously mentioned show.
FX/SFX: Hand-drawn animation.
Music/Sounds: Roseanne and Tom Arnold laughing alongside the sound of the motorcycle. On The Woman Who Loved Elvis, the closing theme of the movie was used.
Availability: Extremely rare. Seen on the Roseanne comedy special Live From Trump Castle: Roseanne Arnold and The Woman Who Loved Elvis on VHS and DVD release for the latter. This also appeared on the shows The Rosey and Buddy Hour, The Jackie Thomas Show and possibly Tom, all gone outside of off-air recordings.
Editor's Note: None.
