Mark VII Limited
Mark VII Limited was the production company of actor and filmmaker Jack Webb, and was active from 1951 to his death in 1982. Many of its series were produced in association with Universal Television; most of them aired on the NBC television network in the U.S. Coincidentally, NBC and Universal are today part of the same company. The estate of Jack Webb now owns the full rights to the company's library, with the exception of the original 1954 feature film version of '' Dragnet'' (originally released by Warner Bros., but now owned by Universal Pictures), and the films '' Pete Kelly's Blues'' and ''The D.I.'' (which are controlled by original distributor Warner Bros.). However, Webb's three seminal series, '' Dragnet'' (the 1967–1970 incarnation), ''Emergency!,'' and ''Adam-12,'' are now available on DVD from either Universal or Shout! Factory, the first two under license from the Webb estate, the latter in-house since Universal was reassigned the ''Adam-12'' series copyrigh ...

Television Show
A television show – or simply TV show – is any content produced for viewing on a television set which can be broadcast via over-the-air, satellite, or cable, excluding breaking news, advertisements, or trailers that are typically placed between shows.

Project U
A project is any undertaking, carried out individually or collaboratively and possibly involving research or design, that is carefully planned to achieve a particular goal. An alternative view sees a project managerially as a sequence of events: a "set of interrelated tasks to be executed over a fixed period and within certain cost and other limitations". A project may be a temporary (rather than a permanent) social system ( work system), possibly staffed by teams (within or across organizations) to accomplish particular tasks under time constraints. A project may form a part of wider programme management or function as an ''ad hoc'' system. Note that open-source software "projects" or artists' musical "projects" (for example) may lack defined team-membership, precise planning and/or time-limited durations. Overview The word ''project'' comes from the Latin word ''projectum'' from the Latin verb ''proicere'', "before an action," which in turn comes from ''pro-'', which d ...
