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 Bosom Buddies, Happy Days, Full House, Perfect Strangers, Mork & Mindy, Laverne & 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 canceled 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.
Originally, the company was set up at Paramount Television, later moving to Lorimar Television and Warner Bros. Television.
