Line 2:
Mega-successful production company responsible for ''Baywatch'', although [[Reality TV]] and [[Game Show|Game Shows]] are their stock in trade. Bought out the entirety of Pearson's television division (which had been partly owned by them anyway), who in turn had bought out All-American Television. They all had essentially the same management, though.
 
Fremantle owns all formats and libraries formerly held by [[Mark Goodson|Goodson-Todman]], [[Sale of the Century|Reg]] [[Scrabble (TV series)|Grundy]], [[Let's Make a Deal (TV)|Hatos-Hall]], and [[Second Chance (TV)|Bill]] [[Press Your Luck|Carruthers]]...which adds up to a whole lot of footage. They even authorized DVD compilations of ''[[Family Feud]]'', ''[[Password]]'', ''[[Match Game]]'', ''[[The Price Is Right]]'', and ''[[Game Show Moments Gone Bananas]]''...although further ones for ''[[Tattletales]]'', ''[[To Tell the Truth]]'', and ''[[What's My Line (TV)?|What's My Line]]'' didn't happen due to BCI going out of business.
 
Fremantle strongly dislikes the [[Unions in Hollywood|Writer's Guild]], often clashing with them over jurisdictional beefs since they think game/reality shows don't have writers...even though they do, with ''[[Jeopardy (TV)|Jeopardy!]]'' and ''[[The Singing Bee]]'' as just two of the many examples.
 
They're also frequent recipients of flack from classic [[Game Show]] fans for [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|making unreasonable and unnecessary changes to their shows]]; said flack is rarely, if ever, without merit.
