I think the show: Clarissa explains It all from Nickeloden in the 90s either used Amiga behind the scenes or in front of the camera.

Nick Arcade: A show where kids were transported into a Video Game via green screen also used Amigas. They used Amiga 3000 and GVP's Impact Vision 24 to make custom 24 bit 2d graphics. Quite nice. Was at Nickeloden in NYC and someone brought it up, an I explained the whole us of Amigs.

They use almost 100% macs now.

I think one of the prizes as a commdore Amiga

Here's another Amiga Story... Star Trek related. I spent 5 years working on licensed product and heard a story recounted regarding the early days of Amiga.

If you ever noticed Star Trek: The Next Generation had really nice on screen computer display graphics. Those were all created on the MAC using Director and played back on Betacam SP decks.

Well guess who they wanted to use first? Amiga, but all their calls to Commdore went unanswered. So they called Apple, who assigned full time staff to the project.

Another high profile us of Amigas that went sour.
