===Television=== In 1955, Betty's 110 cartoon appearances were sold to television syndicator [[U.M. & M. TV Corporation|UM&M]], which was acquired by [[National Telefilm Associates]] (NTA) in 1956. NTA was reorganized in 1985 as [[Republic Pictures]], which folded in 2012, and became Melange Pictures, a subsidiary of [[Paramount Global]], the parent company of Paramount. Paramount, Boop's original home studio (via Melange/Paramount Global), acts as a theatrical distributor for the Boop cartoons that they originally released. Television rights are handled on Paramount's behalf by [[Trifecta Entertainment & Media]], which in turn were inherited from CBS Television Distribution (renamed [[CBS Media Ventures]] in 2021), successor to other related companies, including [[Worldvision Enterprises]], [[Republic Pictures Television]], and [[NTA Film Network|NTA]]. Betty Boop appeared in two television specials, ''[[The Romance of Betty Boop]]'' in 1985, which was produced by [[Lee Mendelson]] and [[Bill Melendez]], the same creative team behind the [[Peanuts]] specials, and 1989's ''[[The Betty Boop Movie Mystery]]''; both specials are available on DVD as part of the Advantage Cartoon Mega Pack. While television revivals were conceived, nothing has materialized from the plans. Her most recent television appearance was an episode of ''[[Project Runway All Stars (season 6)|Project Runaway All Stars]]'' in February 2018.<ref name=ew>{{Cite magazine |title=Project Runway All Stars recap: 'Thrown for a Loop by Betty Boop' |url=https://ew.com/recap/project-runway-all-stars-season-6-episode-6/ |last=Marcias |first=Ernest |date=2018-02-08 |access-date=2023-01-13 |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]}}</ref> By 2016, a new 26-episode television series focusing on Betty Boop was in production by Normaal Animation and [[Fleischer Studios]], with [[King Features Syndicate|King Features]]. The show was to be aimed towards the tween and teenaged audiences. The premise was to "recount the daily struggles, joys, and victories of young Betty Boop, who has every intention of being on stage and becoming a superstar".<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://deadline.com/2016/02/betty-boop-animated-series-max-fleischer-1201700613/|title=Betty Boop To Star In New Animated Series From 'Peanuts' Producers|last=Petski|first=Denise|date=2016-02-11 |website=Deadline|access-date=2019-10-22}}</ref><!-- WAS THE PROJECT DROPPED? -->
