Thanks. That brings back memories.
Presumably the graphic at the top was made for the DVD release. A shame the curves are a bit lumpy.
The classic Franklin Gothic (not the subsequent condensed versions) was the designated typeface for almost all live-action segments that featured a text effect. In fact, only in the first third of its original run was Scanimation not used to indicate the reference number for that day’s episode (in multiple colors and effects), right before the first sketch.
