Mark Goodson Productions (formerly Goodson-Todman Productions, also known as on-screen as Mark Goodson-Bill Todman Productions until 1982) is a television production company that was originally formed in 1946 by veteran radio producers Mark Goodson and Bill Todman specifically producing originally radio, later television programming. Bill Todman, the company's co-founder died in 1979, prompting a rename to Mark Goodson Productions in 1982.
It was first based in New York City, then relocated its main base to Hollywood in 1971 following the success of the ABC revival of Password. The company was sold to All American Communications in 1995, and now considered part of today's Fremantle.
