Show with post-credits cartoon

[edit]

Was there some TV show from the 2000s where, after each end credits sequence, there would be a little cartoon of stick figures creatively killing each other? I was thinking it was Lost, but on checking apparently it's not. --Lazar Taxon (talk) 16:41, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It sounds like you're looking for a Production logo, but I can't spot it in the TVTropes list.
You may be miss-remembering the R&D TV logo, which featured two poorly animated people murdering eachother in creative ways, and was seen at the end of Battlestar Galactica. [1].
Hope this helps. ApLundell (talk) 00:03, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, that's what I'm remembering! Thanks. --Lazar Taxon (talk) 01:01, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What tv show or movie is this?

[edit]

I can't remember if it's a tv show or movie. I think it's set in Texas or some border state with a lot of illegal Mexican immigration. Starts off in a bar, with a corrupt sheriff accepting bribes and demanding protection money. I think he kills a fellow cop because he didn't agree with it. Then it's like 20 years later and the son of the killed cop is the main character that has just returned to town. The corrupt sheriff had stayed in the job by getting the black residents to vote for him, can't remember how but it's something to do with the black bar in town. Now the returned son is the sheriff and has to get the blacks to vote for him? Anyhow, at the end the son of the killed cop hooks up with the high school sweetheart but we the viewer have found at that it's actually his half sister.

This ringing any bells for anybody? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.102.185.203 (talk) 18:39, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is [[Lone Star. Catrionak (talk) 16:24, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Good job on finding it C. You link is a little messed up so this one Lone Star (1996 film) will get readers to the correct article. MarnetteD|Talk 17:39, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I puzzled over it for a while. I am just HTM-illiterate. Catrionak (talk) 19:39, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
