MTM Logo History 

Date corrections as of 9th April 2024: The first MTM Television Distribution logo was used from 1986-98. The MTM TV Distribution logo with the chef hat counts as the second one, and was used from around 1992 to 1995.

R.I.P Mary Tyler Moore [1936-2017] R.I.P Mimsie the Cat [1968-1988] R.I.P Grant Tinker [1926-2016]

I used to be a little scared of Mimsie meowing, but one time when I saw a video about the history of Metro Goldwyn Mayer on the news, it didn’t scare me again.

This logo made me crying so emotional.😢

R.I.P Mimsie the cat

3:30 THERE'S THAT MICROSOFT WINDOWS LOGO?! 1:04 Mimsie said "Wow!" (Rare Variation)

7:43 I love the way the cat play catch

She was such a cute little kitty!

Cat: watching TV* another cat: *Interrupting the cat *Cat: QUIET!

I miss being a kid without a care in the world and watching my favourite TV shows, and seeing that sweet kitty meow at the end.

15:47 - that's awesome

HER NAME IS MIMSIE?!?! SHE IS SO ADORABLE AND SO IS HER NAME. PROTECT THIS PRECIOUS LITTLE KITTEN AT ALL COSTS

R I P Mary Tyler More died on my 50th birthday

Newharts final episode had all three directors scream "QUIET!"

9:41 MTM mimsie meows with low voice v2

10:47 this one's my favorite lmfao

11:42 heard a bit of the Tintin cartoon theme song there!! Made my heart skip a beat!🥰💕💕 this cat is adorable btw I love her so much dbdbsbdbsv

Awe the cat🥰

I LOVE HER MEOW SO MUCH 😭😭😭

4:57 Sounds like Cartlon hates Mondays.

I want MTM revived by Disney in the memory of Mary Tyler Moore and Mimsie

okay this is the cutest logo I have ever seen.

0:55 Christmas version

Cool! Soon As I Get Home I’ll Make The Marcus Acosta Logo Version For The RU-vid Sieries: Mimsie!!!!

Being the crazy cat lady that I am, I adore Mimsie! I've started re-watching my "Mary Tyler Moore" DVD's, and I will NEVER skip ending credits, just because I love seeing that little ginger baby and her sweet little "meow!" I love the variants, too. My favorites are the original (of course), Extra Squeaky Mimsie (the second one in the video), "QUIET!", The St. Elsewhere scrubs, Mimsie catching the baseball, Mimsie rubbing up with the other cat and they're both purring, the "Mimsie Chorus" (I forgot the name of the show!) and Mimsie wearing Steve Allen's glasses and going "Schmuuuuuck!" My favorite non-Mimsie's were Mary Tyler Moore imitating Porky Pig, and the "White Shadow" cat playing basketball. Thank you for not including the final St. Elsewhere Mimsie. I know she died that same year, but what kind of tribute was THAT to her?! But I love the regular St. Elsewhere Mimsie (a kitten wearing surgical scrubs? Yes please!)

The meow heard at 9:39 sounds rather sick. It was heard at the end of The Bob Newhart Show: Et Tu, Carol?. This was due to a tape error.

Rip the cat in the logo 😭😭😭 hope to see you again. You was so cute

I am so glad you didn’t include the one with her dying

I remember the little kitty meow logo. It was so cute.

1:16 habidi habididididididididi that's all folks

I know the one from the St Elsewhere finally wasn’t included but you have to give credit to the MTM team for using such a creative ending logo. Probably my favorite because it summed up the show and Mimsie (who died the same year) so well

0:27 I Love That Variant

0:57 1:49 6:18 and 6:25 Christmas wreath variant

5:47 this variant was taken from "a little..."

Mimsie is a really amazing cat. R.I.P Mimsie 1968-1988

I liked the one where Julie Kavner (voice of Marge Simpson) went "Wow!", Carlton going, "Come on, meow. Damn cat...", Mimsie wearing a ball cap and catching the ball, one of the St. Elsewhere variants where Mimsie meowed differently than how she'd normally meow, a choir singing the "meow" when Mimsie meowed, Mimsie wearing the chef's hat, Mimsie saying "Tchau!" (which was on Xuxa), and MTM Home Video where Mimsie rewinds the tape. P.S. - Many thanks for omitting the St. Elsewhere series finale variant, that one is saddening to me because I love cats and animals in general.

So the extremely rare St Elsewhere finale variant is intentionally skipped. On airings and video/streaming releases, it is plastered with the normal St. Elsewhere variant.

Mimsie the kitten is just so cute 😻😻

“Mom, I want MGM” “We have MGM at home.” MGM at home:

The MTM Logo was intentionally created as spoof of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) logo with the roaring lion.

Thank goodness, you took that St. Elsewhere finale variation out, it almost makes me cry whenever I look at it.

I had heard that Mimsie's meow was overdubbed because Mimsie wouldn't meow during filming. Actually Mimsie's meow doesn't sound like a kitten's meow, she sounds like she's a little older.

Garfield on MTM

1:46 ROAR!

10:32 Shows soul 2012-1988 mtm logo 2011

10:49 Cat: QUIET Me: No You QUIET And Let Me Relax

3:09 I found Viacom V of Doom for a split second!

1:23 Makes Me Cry

When Mary Tyler Moore's character Mary Richards' impressions of Porky Pig and his most famous catchphrase That's All Folks! And Bob Newhart's character Dick Loudon says meow in deadpan voice, I'm nothing but a smile

I remember that scene when I was a child.

Oh good, I’m glad that you didn’t include the St.Elsewhere Finale Variant because I saw it and I was terrified by it.

3:30 Look closely,you will see windows logo

Love the 2 animated kitties purring!

9:47 where was that from? (Movie of show)

I love the MTM Cat. I wish that the MTM Enterprises logo could be seen more often. And by the way, I LOOOOOOOVE cats.

Mimsie is a cutie! I remember one time after my cat died, a cat at a pet store made a similar sound. Also, I hadn’t seen my cat in a day, and he made a similar sound at me when I got home from school. 🐈 🏫 🏡

What a cute cat!

7:46 I love that variant

Mimsie. What a cute kitten.

9:41 I found Viacom V of Doom for a split second!

10:25 Singers: MEOOOOOWWW!!!

11:19 Mimsie: OOOHH pizza! BTW, R.I.P. Mimsie

Fun fact: mtm is a parody of mgm.

Thats some intense footage

1:05 wow

everyjonty gangsta until she was apparently just sleeping in the st elsewhere finale

5:23 MTM high tone

1 year and counting, this video is still up.

10:47 Sounds like Mimsie is yelling "QUIETTTTTTTTTTTTT"

WOW!!! i loved it. and also, thanks for not including the st elsewhere finale variant. :) here's another request: sesame workshop

10:49 QUIET!!!!!!

0:38 the 3d ribbon is damaged due to tv damage, also, mimsie is in front of this, weird

I love this logo

I miss that talkie cat. Also, The “T” in the MTM logo sometimes appears Green.

My favorite variant not seen in this video is the one in which Mimsie turns upside down. That one was seen at the end of Paul Sand in Friends and Lovers: From Russia with Lust.

1:44 This logo fucking terrified me when I first saw this on logo histories at 7. This still scares me to this day.

Was I the only one that was terrified of this as a kid? The font against the black background (something about the 2 red M's I guess?) struck me as very ominous and the cat's meow at the end felt like some odd harbinger of doom. It sounds so silly reading what I just typed that I can't rationally explain it, but I can still recall that fear even though I can watch all these reps of it now. Of all the 'scary' logos from back then though that people make compilation videos about now, nothing got to me more than this.

0:19 Damn It Jonty!

Mimsie's pet My she dies, after country star left rehab and you.

Why does the MTM cat keep meowing the same meow at the end of the MTM logo?

Me: I DONT SEE THE CAT! Jonty: (says nothing)

8:09 What was that show?

4:58 damn cat

R.I.P MTM 1969-1998

Seen it on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Rhoda, The Bob Newhart Show, and Newhart

the MTM logo is really scary if you watch it in the dark

RIP Mary Tyler Moore

7:00 nice flipping, Mr. Cup Pipe!

1:14 OOO A WOMEN!

The Steve Allen one could be kind of like how some people were obsessed with DiC from 1987 and up ;-)
