Samuel Goldwyn Television was the American television production/distribution division of The Samuel Goldwyn Company. Formed in 1979 by Samuel Goldwyn Jr., the company's best-known series was the competition series American Gladiators, which was produced and distributed by the company from 1989 to 1996.[1] In 1987, Samuel Goldwyn Television bought Victor Alexander's film Kill Zone, which was turned into the 18-picture package The Explosives.[2] The library of Samuel Goldwyn Television also included some episodes of the series Flipper, Gentle Ben, The Mothers-in-Law and The New Adventures of Flipper.[3]
On 22 December 1996, hours after PolyGram had made an acquisition offer that was accepted, Metromedia made a counter-offer for Goldwyn's film and television library,[3] and won the bid. Samuel Goldwyn Television was merged into Orion Pictures. In 1997, it was sold to MGM Television and folded later in the year.
