From ‘Star Trek’ to ‘SpongeBob,’ Here’s All the Content in Play For CBS-Viacom Merger

In partnership with Skydance Media, the “Mission: Impossible” series is a massive draw for Paramount that keeps growing its audience and box office with every installment. The latest, “Fallout,” made a staggering $787 million worldwide, almost $100 million more than its predecessor. It’s the kind of flashy IP that other studios have been exploiting for cross-platform content, like Universal’s animated takes on “Fast and Furious” and “Jurassic World,” both to air on Netflix.

Likewise, CBS owns classics that any studio would be happy to kick around a reboot writers room, including: “Happy Days,” “Taxi,” “The Brady Bunch,” “Laverne & Shirley, “Mork & Mindy,” “Family Ties” and “Cheers.”
