“Sit, Ubu, Sit! Good dog!” – Closing tag for Ubu Productions – Mar 1986

Sit, Ubu, Sit! Good dog! – Ubu Productions

Ubu Productions, Inc., was an independent production company founded in 1982 by television producer Gary David Goldberg. Ubu’s notable productions include Family Ties (1982–1989), Brooklyn Bridge (1991–1993), and Spin City (1996–2002).

Ubu co-produced many of its shows with Paramount Television and in later years, DreamWorks Television.

Ubu’s mascot is Goldberg’s dog Ubu Roi, a black labrador retriever which he had in college and subsequently traveled the world with. The closing tag for Ubu Productions is a photograph of Ubu Roi with a frisbee in his mouth, taken in the Tuileries Garden close to the Louvre Museum in Paris. Along with the picture is Goldberg himself saying “Sit, Ubu, sit! Good dog!”, followed by a bark created by the sound engineer working on the closing tag.
