Trivia

• From 1954 to 1966, after the end of the closing credits in every program by DreamWorks Television, it cuts to a voiceover saying "This program was a Dora Wilson Production" (1954-1955), "This was a DW Television Production" (1955-1966), "This was a DW-Go Fish Television Production" (1966-1986) and "This was a DreamWorks Television production" (1986-1996), along with an onscreen text reads "Produced at TBD" and later logos that would carried over until 1996.
  • From 1956 to 1966, every program by Go Fish Studios would end after the ending credits with a picture of a Fishing Boy fishing at the lake with text reading "Filmed at Go Fish Studios in Hollywood", and the music is an 8-note fanfare tune composed by Ernest Hughes. This would later be carried on over to DW-Go Fish Television Productions/DreamWorks Television's logos from 1966 to 1996, with the same voice over saying "This was a Dora Wilson television production", and the music would be later used on Dora the Explorer as the Fiesta Trio fanfare with permission.
    • In November 2000, Albert Ringering issued a lawsuit against Nickelodeon for putting the logo's music in Dora the Explorer. Albert won the lawsuit in February 2001.
