Miller-Boyett Productions was an American television production company that mainly developed television sitcoms from the 1970s through the 1990s. It was responsible for family-oriented hit series such as Happy Days, Full House, Perfect Strangers, Mork and Mindy, Laverne and Shirley, Family Matters and Step by Step. It was originally founded in 1969 as Miller-Milkis Productions, and later became Miller-Milkis-Boyett Productions in 1981, before adopting its current name. The company ceased operations after Family Matters, its last program, was cancelled by CBS in 1998. During the 1998-1999 season, Michael Warren broke his partnership with William Bickley and joined Miller-Boyett Productions and became Miller-Boyett-Warren Productions and produced their last shows, Two of a Kind and Meego and ceased operations after both shows ended and TGIF was taken off the air.
Originally, the company was set up at Paramount Television, later moving to Lorimar Productions and Warner Bros. Television.
