how did you find all of these.???? amazing.....
We would never forget Mimsie. Mimsie is the greatest kitty! Always loves her meows!
Mimsie was owned by one of Mary Tyler Moore’s colleagues.
She was definitely a cute little kitty
2:53....my favorite variation! That, and the "Quack!" 😁
2:54 Not QUACK/Yes QUIET
I always loved that little Cat. God Bless everyone
Mimsie the Cat (1968 - c. June 1988) was a live-action tabby cat seen in the MTM Enterprises logo, in an apparent spoof of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's famed lion mascot, Leo.
In the standard version of the logo, as first used on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Mimsie appears in a crouched position, looks up at the camera, and meows once. Mimsie would not meow for the camera crew, so they eventually used footage of her yawning, run in reverse, with the sound effect added. By the 1980s, there were many different variants of the logo, with Mimsie often appearing in different painted "costumes" corresponding to the style and theme of the particular programs. For the detective series Remington Steele, a Sherlock Holmes-esque stalking cap and pipe (that fell out of Mimsie's mouth when she meowed) were added; Bay City Blues had an animated version of Mimsie wearing a baseball hat and baseball glove and catching a baseball; Lou Grant, Paris, and Just Between Friends showed a still image of Mimsie's footage; The White Shadow featured a different black-and-white cat bouncing an orange basketball; Hill Street Blues painted a police uniform hat onto Mimsie's head; St. Elsewhere used a surgical mask and scrubs; The Texas Wheelers had a full-screen black-and white kitten looking around and meowing and (for the final episode) had an animated version of the kitten staggering from behind a wagon wheel and dropping dead; Graham Kerr painted a chef's hat onto Mimsie's head; Carlton Your Doorman the logo is drawn animation-like and Carlton's cat Ringo is seen and says to him to meow but doesn't meow, Carlton mutters "Damn cat..."; Xuxa had Mimsie say "Tchau!" (which means "goodbye" in Portuguese); A Little Sex featured an animated gray cat joining an animated version of Mimsie after she meowed; in contrast, Newhart kept the original, unadorned footage, but replaced (except for the series pilot) the meowing sound effect with Bob Newhart's voice-over of "meow" in his trademark deadpan style, and in the series finale is saying "QUIET!", uttered by Darryl & Darryl (their first and only word). The Duck Factory had (right before the logo) an off-screen voice shout, "Where's the Cat?", and then used the original footage, replacing Mimsie's meow with a "Quack!". On The Mary Tyler Moore Show episode, "Today I am a Ma'am", Mimsie did a higher-pitched meow, and on the episode "Put on a Happy Face", Moore herself was shown stating the Looney Tunes end line, "That's All Folks!". In the series finale of St. Elsewhere, Mimsie is shown unconscious and dying on-screen, hooked up to an IV, a heart monitor and medical equipment; as the credits roll the heart monitor beeps and then flatlines at the end, marking the end of ‘’St. Elsewhere’’ and Mimsie’s death. Coincidentally, Mimsie died shortly after the airing of the episode. Syndicated prints of this episode replace this variant with the normal credits. An extended version of The White Shadow variant can be shown on rare prints of the pilot, featuring the logo animating and the cat watching the ball fall off-screen.
In 2013, an episode of Hot in Cleveland, which starred Betty White and featured Georgia Engel, did an MTM reunion with Moore, Valerie Harper, and Cloris Leachman. At the end of the episode the camera pans to a cat in the window, presumably Mimsie, giving her final meow.

Thank you for telling us about mimsey. Very interesting.
That was awesome. Thanks for sharing.
In 2:26 Cats Meow is DEEP!
R.I.P. Edward Asner. He will be missed.
RIP Mimsie and Mary Tyler Moore. I also give you props for omitting the St. Elsewhere finale variant, I find that upsetting.
And Grant Tinker
@ who's he?
@@Jacob_was_here, no, she's dead.
@Demetri Little No, that was with capitol records.
Mimsie is the link to the description
1:34 made me laugh "come on meow! Damn cat!" Lol and that cat scowled!
I loved the ones that Bob Newhart did his "meow." :-)
Mary always had a drawing of a lion in her apartment (on the TV shows anyway). Its all a bit like a reference to MGM and MTM.
Mary Tyler Moore Was Under Contract At MGM As A Dancer......🙂💯👍🏾
@@dlittle39dl Thanks for the feedback.
@@LeoCapaldi MTM MGM
It's So Sad To See MTM Gone :(
@Kai Keebler, that's bullshit.
@Purple Buttons the Changeling but it was still cute though
I’ve been looking for this cat logo forever! I only remember it occasionally popping onscreen during my early childhood.

3:17 - 3:25 is probably my favorite one of these logos because this is what I'd do if I see this logo in a video; I'd keep watching it over and over. Thank you Mimsie for being a great cat!
Meow meow meow meow the kitten is adorable cute RIP Mary Tyler Moore
I hope Disney should revive this studio
So cute! There was a segment on Hot in Cleveland with all of the women from the Mary Tyler Moore show and at the very end had that cute kitten meow. In the 1980s, MTM Enterprise also had a recording label in Nashville, known as MTM Music Group from 1984 to 1988.

R.I.P.
MTM
When he said QUIET!
I felt that🐱
2:59
wow this logo history is marvelous
Those MTM logos are so Cute!
I LIKE THA CAT DRIBBLIN THA BALL JUS SO U KNOW THAT WAS MY FAVORITE SHOW AT THA TIME THE WHITE SHADOW
3:00 when that kid never stop crying
Yeah, make them cry more.
Relatable! I couldn't stop having meltdowns when babies or little kids cry but that doesn't happen anymore.
2:59
MTM also had a short lived record label in the 1980s based in Nashville. There was a good roster of Country Music artists that recorded for MTM Records at the time. 2 artists I can recall were Paul Overstreet and Holly Dunn
I didn’t realize I needed this in my life until I found it. Thank you for making it!
Thanks for remembering "WKRP in Cincinnati" occasionally using Les Nessman's "Oooh."
mimsie in the thumbnail looks cute
sleep tight mimsie :(
I agree about that variant not fitting in at this time. It shouldn't be scrubbed from history though, as it has been from the St. Elsewhere finale since its NBC broadcasts.

1:38 the hill street blues theme makes me cry thinking of mimsie's death

Mtm logo : mimsie ?
Where da hell is mimsie?!?!
God Bless You To Jesus Christ R.I.P Mary Tyler Moore
And Mimsie the cat
Aaawww, mimsie was soooo adorable!! Man, the Newhart variant of the MTM logo has stuck with me to this day, as it used to frighten me as a child! Something about a man's voice coming out if the kitty was just creepy & unsettling for me at the time.
HE DIED IN 1988 AND MARY TOO IN 2017!!!!!!!! WHY JESUS WHYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!?????????!!!!!!!!! *cries really loud*

I thought it sounded like Zabuza from Naruto Shippuden, but okay
I didn't think if watch the whole thing but did. It took me back, I enjoyed it. Thanks
Mary Tyler Moore was sweet.So was her baby Mimsie.

I wish MTM Productions would continue after Mary's death
And now all of the shows are owned by Disney
@Demetri Little no it's not.
@Windows 98 no it's not gredey.

Thanks for that! Did not realize that they had so many variants!
🚧
2:52 Meow synthesiser girl!
Good job! Keep up the videos.
Rest In Peace Mary Tyler Moore
I saw Mimsie the cat appear in an episode of Hot In Cleavend.
You're skipping the St. Elsewhere finale variant?! Awwww... 😭
I understand, but I like that one. Well, at least you kept the Newhart finale variant (2:58).
QUIET!!!!!!!
Felix Brown Glad to see I’m not the only one who likes the St. Elsewhere finale variant. I’ve been meaning to watch the show. From what I heard the variant is fitting for the show, yes?
@@gothtarrare that's the one I want to see...
@@gothtarrare yes but that was actually mimsie's death...
@Win Server 2008 Mimsie died a few hours after the St. Elsewhere Finale. And they used a sleeping Mimsie and hooked her up to a life support system and water thing for the credits
RIP Mary. I have every reason to believe that her son and Mimsie were both waiting for her on the other side.
(And thank you UHIA, for not including the St. Elsewhere variant.)

Yeah I was dreading to see that last one. That's sad.
Yeah that scared the Frick out of me! It's the only logo im actually scared of!
thebombymaster Xander Pascal I need to know something. WHAT THE FUCK WAS THE NETWORK THINKING? I saw the ending to St. Elsewhere, not knowing that it existed and I saw a cat. I looked on Wikipedia to see if it was that same cat. What I saw horrified me. That ending, that cat in the ending...was Mimsie. I read on Wikipedia that the ending represented the death of the show and Mimsie cause 2 days after the show ended the cat died.
i was four after mtm passed away thank you mary
I think 2:10 was Bay City Blues and just after ("Where's the cat?") from The Duck Factory.
I Like Those Variations......🙂💯👍🏾
Mimsie is the most adorable, beautiful cat ever, we would never forget this legendary cat and always love her meows, R.I.P. Mimsie the cat and the rest of the entire cast on The Mary Tyler Moore Show!!
I just the St. Elsewhere finale and I now understand why you didn't include it. Granted it wasn't meant to be taken seriously but it was upsetting.
1:18 ayo Mimsie was BALLIN
2:04 lol. how cute.
Love this cat it’s beautiful
Mimsie:Meow~ Kennadi:Awww!
It's so bad I miss Mary Tyler Moore she died in 2017

What about this: Also, according to Jacob Dennis-Oehling on UA-cam, He describes another version of the finale variant, where it's the other variant except Mimsie is instead shot to death. However, these "mystery" variants could be hard to find, as usual.
My favorite mtm logo was with Mimsie the cat playing with t.v. remote control for the t.v. lol
I like the 2 animated kitties purring!
I like the MTM logo when it has Mimsie bouncing a basketball....this was after they rolled the credits from The White Shadow episodes
This logo is really good....
LIKE IT😀
3:38 At the end of Shopping Spree
R.i.p Mimsie the Cat 1968 - 1988 😢😢😢😢😢
Great video :). MTM was always my favorite and Mary Tyler Moore was too. Does anyone know what show the singing meow was from?
Eisenhower and Lutz (1988)
Synthesiser meow girl!
Think you 500 000 000 000$
Xuxa’s closing logo is where mimsie says goodbye in portuguese
Ciao!
Do you mean Brazilian Portuguese? Yeah. Tchau is a Brazilian localisation of Ciao, which is an Italian word for Hello!
2:58
QUUUIIEEEEETTTTTT!!!!!
Hmm, you're a little bit like me when this was my first logo history back in June 4th, 2016. Really nice video though. Seems accurate. :)

I noticed 20th Television's logo for a split second
Yeah, they distributed some of the MTM shows back in the 90's.
70,000 views? Holy shit. This might get 100,000 eventually.
UriahHeepIsAwesome You should be ashamed of yourself for using profanity on UA-cam!
UriahHeepIsAwesome I will report you to the authorities for your hate speech against a Christian woman!
UriahHeepIsAwesome By the way, you're a psycho-path!
UriahHeepIsAwesome You can't stand the fact that I'm speaking God's truth!
UriahHeepIsAwesome So you have the nerve and gall to use (gender, racial, sexual) slurs against a Christian woman!
The first MTM appeared
3:04 Bye!

When composing the music, what did the composer (Al Kasha) call this piece?
Was there an extended version of Al Kasha's composition?

Remington Steele
Also, Sherlock Mimsie
