Variants

(Alvin and the Chipmunks) (1992–1995)

Bumper: On the same background of the Jay Ward Buena Vista Home Video logo, we see the brownish-gold text "Feature Program" zooming in fast.

FX/SFX: The zooming in of the words "FEATURE PROGRAM".

Music/Sounds: Same as the 1992 Feature Program bumper.

Availability: Seen on few Alvin and the Chipmunks tapes. A few Alvin and the Chipmunks tapes from that year either use the Alvin and the Chipmunks Sing-Along variant or cut straight to the theme song from the Alvin and the Chipmunks preview. This was also seen on the 1995 VHS of Parachute Express: Come Sing with Us.

(Jim Henson Video) (1992–1995)

Nicknames: "Comic Sans Prototype"

Bumper: On a green background, we see the white words "FEATURE PROGRAM" in the Dawncastle font, which resembles a prototype version of the infamous Comic Sans font.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The last few notes of Howard Pfeifer's "All For Just One Thin Dime" with Brian Cummings saying "And now, our feature program."

Music/Sounds Variant:

• On Jim Henson Video tapes, Beau Weaver provides the voice-over.
• On Muppet Babies videos and Muppet Sing-Alongs: Billy Bunny's Animal Songs, the screeching trumpet theme from the end of the Muppet Babies closing theme is heard. Beau Weaver provides the voice-over.
• On the 1994 VHS of Muppet Sing-Alongs: It's Not Easy Being Green a dramatic trumpet theme plays, the words are replaced with "STAY TUNED..." and an announcer says "Stay tuned after the show to find out about more great Muppet entertainment". The words fade out and "FEATURE PROGRAM" fades in, then the announcer says "And now...Get ready to sing with all your favorite Muppets."

Availability: Seen on the 1995 VHS of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Other Stories and an assortment of Jim Henson Video releases, such as The Great Muppet Caper, Hey Cinderella! and, judging by how many trailer and preview videos are made out of it, the quite mimetically popular Muppet Sing-Alongs: Billy Bunny's Animal Songs. Also seen on some 1993 prints of The Muppet Movie and The Great Muppet Caper due to a video editing error (other prints use Jim Henson Video's Feature Presentation logo instead).

Editor's Note: The Muppet Babies/Billy Bunny variant has bothered some, due to the "Bad Trumpet" theme being played in the ID.

(Disney's Haunted Mansion) (1993)

Nickname: "Haunted Scene"

Bumper: We start with an image of a tree, full moon, and black clouds in a gray background. After a second, the text "Feature Program" in an orange "Matterofact" font with a dark green border appears.

FX/SFX: The lightning flash and "Feature Program" appearing.

Music/Sounds: An organ theme is heard with some other typical Halloween sound effects (i.e.: wind blowing, lightning striking, a wolf howling). Brian Cummings then eerily says "And now, our feature program!" and does an evil laugh!
