Alan Landsburg Productions (ALP), later known as Reeves Entertainment Group and Reeves Entertainment, was an independent television production company founded by Alan Landsburg in 1971. The company produced In Search of... and That's Incredible!. The company also found success in television movies (the Emmy-winning Mickey Rooney film Bill), and scripted shows (the sitcoms Gimme a Break! and Kate and Allie). They made a few theatrical movies as well, most notably Jaws 3-D (1983).
The company was acquired in 1978 by Reeves Communications Corp. In 1984, Landsburg left the company and formed The Landsburg Company, in partnership with Cox Enterprises,[1] and ALP was renamed the Reeves Entertainment Group. David Auberbach, a friend of Landsburg served as vice president, received a new deal at the studio.[2] Barris Industries originally owned a 5.27% stake in Reeves, with backing from Burt Sugarman.[3][4]
