Lou Grant: Same as the Paris and Something for Joey variants.Paris and Something for Joey: When the logo appears, there is a still picture of Mimsie in the ribbon.Hill Street Blues: Mimsie wears a policeman's cap.Graham Kerr: Mimsie wears a chef's hat.The logo then proceeds as normal, but instead of meowing, Mimsie quacks like a duck. The Duck Factory: Right at the end of the credits, before we cut to the logo, an off-screen voice that either states, "Where's the cat?", "Here's the cat.", or "Take it, cat!".This means Mimsie's appearance would sometimes be different, usually involving her "wearing" a costume or saying something other than "meow". Now, one thing that the MTM logo was known for was that often, it would be custom made for whatever show it appeared at the end of. Sometimes the letters don't animate, as seen in the Carlton, White Shadow, and "Abogast" variants.The most common one kind of "iris-in's." In others, usually ones where there's special animation or a different cat, the circle just appears. The appearance of the circle varies amongst logos.Fresno has the "M"s in red and the "T" light blue.Here it just reads "MTM PRODUCTIONS".
Another still version of this logo appeared at the beginning of a FamNET rerun of a season 8 episode of Newhart from 1989 "Don't Worry, Be Pregnant," the logo is the same as the later International version, except the letters " MTM" appear to be slightly smaller, the circle with Mimsie appears to be slightly larger and the logo just reads " MTM INTERNATIONAL".Mimsie's head is turned away, pre-meowing. No music, animation, or "meow" is present. This is a still of the " Red/ Blue Letters" version of the logo, and is shrunk to a considerably small size. A still version of this logo did turn up in the movies, notably the Orion Pictures release of Just Between Friends and possibly more.The kitten appears in the rounded part of the "5". 1995-1996: 25th Anniversary logo on a white background is a black "25," with a similarly colored MTM under that.1992-1995, 1996-August 14, 1998: All letters are orange, the words "AN INTERNATIONAL FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" appear with an orange line above it, after MTM was bought by the Family Channel.September 17, 1990-1993: Same as above, but " ENTERPRISES, INC." is smaller than usual, and below it is a byline that says "A TVS ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY".1982-1990: Company identified as "MTM Enterprises, Inc.".1978-1982: Company now identified as "MTM Productions Inc.".September 18, 1971-1978: The M's are both red-orange,and the " T" is light blue.September 19, 1970-March 2, 1974: One " M" is red-orange, the other is red, and the " T" is blue and is formed by the merging of a light blue " T" and a green one.All the text (except for the later versions) appears in the Peignot font used for the Viacom "Pinball" logo.įirst here are the little differences in the logo, along with dates in which they were used: Inside is a cute live-action orange striped kitten who meows once, obviously as a parody of the MGM lion. Back to the circle, it is ribbon-like and decorated with stars and the letters " MTM " on top.
Sometimes, the finished logo will read out " AN MTM ENTERPRISES ( INC.) PRODUCTION" (" AN" appears over the first " M"). Under the letters are the words " ENTERPRISES, INC.", " ENTERPRISES", " PRODUCTIONS, INC.'', or " PRODUCTIONS". This completes the initials of the company, and the letter " T" shrinks when a gold circle appears over it. In the space left between the two letters, two " T"'s come from the top and bottom of the screen and join to form one. (1969-1998): Over the years, the logo has been tweaked color wise and according to certain shows, but here's the basic concept: An " M" flies backward from off screen, then splits into two.
