In 1985 , the company merged with Merv Adelson and Lee Rich 's Lorimar Productions , creating '' Lorimar-Telepictures '' and assumed production and distribution of shows like '' Dallas '' and '' Knots Landing ''. The company also began distribution of first-run episodes of '' Mama's Family '' in June of 1986 .

In 1988 , Warner Communications purchased the company and split the assets. Lorimar became a separate production entity, which would cease operation in 1993 . Telepictures became Telepictures Productions, a producer of syndicated programming that Warner Bros. Television would distribute. The company produced the syndicated newsmagazine '' Extra '' (which still airs today) and the '' Jenny Jones '' syndicated talk show.

Today, Telepictures exists also as Telepictures Distribution and distributes non- Warner Bros. produced programming to which the syndication rights have been licensed to Warner as well as Warner properties such as re-runs of The West Wing .
