Alan Landsburg Productions

Alan Landsburg Productions

Alan Landsburg Productions was an independent TV production company founded by Alan Landsburg in 1971. The company had huge successes with "In Search of..." and "That's Incredible!", which were two early examples of reality television long before the name even existed. The company also found success TV movies (the Emmy-winning Mickey Rooney film "Bill"), and scripted shows (the sitcoms "Gimme a Break!" and "Kate and Allie").

In 1984, Landsburg left the company and formed The Landsburg Company, and ALP was renamed Reeves Entertainment Group. It was purchased by Thames Television in 1990 for $89,000,000. [Brown, Les. "Encyclopedia of Television". Third Edition, 1992] The rights to the company's library is now owned by FremantleMedia. Distribution rights in the United States vary on an individual basis.
