Can you help me compile a list of (fictional) companies, that star in TV series?

Asked by rebbel (35547points) August 29th, 2018

From the 50’s till today; can you come up with company names that were/are starring in television series.
Preferably from comedies, but other genres are okay too.
From America, and the UK, but series from other countries are also okay, as long as as they were/are widely known.

For example:

Dunder Mifflin – The Office
The Bluth Company – Arrested Development
Gary’s Shoes & Accessories for Today’s Woman – Married With Children

Thanks in advance!

Vandelay Industries was a company made up by George Costanza on Seinfeld. He claimed to be a latex salesman for VI anytime he needed a job for a reference or to impress a date.

Vandelay Industries was a company made up by George Costanza on Seinfeld.

That’s funny because the Seinfeld show characters worked at real companies like J. Peterman and the Yankees, so Vandelay Industries is doubly fictitious A fictional character concocted a fictional company.

@zenvelo I thought about the MTM show, but did a search and it looks like there actually is a WJM-TV in Minneapolis. I don’t know if it existed at the time or not.

Does anyone know where Ward Cleaver worked? He worked at the same company as Fred Rutherford.

Ward & Fred worked for a Trust Company but they never gave it a name.

Richie Cunningham worked briefly at the local drive-in called Arnold’s. I think Potsy & Ralph did too.
