Paragon Entertainment Corporation was a Canadian film and television production company that was formed by Jon Slan in 1977, and declared bankruptcy in 1998.

[3] In 1989, the company became Paragon Entertainment Corporation, while expanding to be a major Canadian studio to compete with the likes of rival TV producers, like Alliance Entertainment Corporation and Atlantis Films, and in 1990, it worked on a pilot for Detective Spot, which later became Dog House.
[4] In 1991, PBS partnered with Paragon Entertainment to revive the long-dormant Lamb Chop franchise, with Shari Lewis returning to host, and helped PBS to syndicate the series to affiliates.
