in the company's ranks, and by 1986 they had few shows left on the schedules (Hill Street Blues, St. Elsewhere and Remington Steele were all nearing the ends of their runs, leaving Newhart as the sole entrant on the schedule). Mimsie the Cat Mimsie the Cat (1968 - ) was a live-action tabby cat seen in the MTM Enterprises logo, in a spoof of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's long-running Leo the Lion mascot. 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 "costumes", as well as being replaced by other cats, corresponding to the style and theme of the particular programs. On The Mary Tyler Moore Show episode, "Today I am a Ma’am.", Mimsie did a higher-pitched and rather shrill meow, and on the episode "Put on a Happy Face", Moore herself was shown stating the Looney Tunes end line, "That's All Folks!", a line spoken by Mary Richards during that episode. 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 and meowing. Lou Grant, Paris, Just Between Friends and “Something for Joey” showed a still image of Mimsie. For the blooper reel of Lou Grant, Mimsie chirps like a bird. The White Shadow featured a different black-and-white cat bouncing an orange basketball; an extended version of The White Shadow variant can be seen on rare prints of the pilot, featuring the logo animating and the cat watching the ball fall off-screen. Hill Street Blues put a police uniform hat onto Mimsie's head, stating a reference to the TV show. St. Elsewhere showed her in a surgical mask and scrubs. Two episodes of the TV show feature a different meow soundtrack. Graham Kerr put a chef's hat onto Mimsie's head. She would sometimes meow twice. The Texas Wheelers, aka Texas Wheelers had a black-and-white kitten near a water pipe, looking around and meowing. The final episode
