THE MTM ENTERPRISES KITTEN
        by Chris Lambert

        Mary Tyler Moore's production company uses the MTM
logo with a small kitten named Dick Turpin meowing in a
parody of the famous MGM lion's roar.  A variety of shows have
been produced by MTM Enterprises, and the kitten logo is
changed slightly with each show.

The Mary Tyler Moore Show:
        The kitten meows normally. 
        VARIATIONS: Episode 2: kitten's meow is
higher-pitched,rather shrill. Reason unknown.  Episode 71:Kitten
replaced by Miss Moore herself, saying "Th-th-th-that's all
folks!", a line spoken by Mary Richards during that episode.

The Bob Newhart Show: 
        The kitten meows normally.

The White Shadow: 
        A different kitten (white w/ black splotches) dribbles a
basketball off both M's in the MTM logo.

        The kitten wears policeman's hat.

      On the original series, the kitten meows normally.
      On the new series, the kitten lip-syncs Les Nessman saying
"Ooooooh!"

St. Elsewhere: 
        The kitten wears a surgical mask and smock.
     VARIATION: In final episode, the kitten is shown
underneath the credits, hooked up to life-support. At the end of
the credits, the kitten flatlines.

        The kitten lip-syncs Bob Newhart's understated "Meow".
     VARIATION: In the last episode, the kitten lip-syncs Darryl
and Darryl yelling "QUIET!!!" -- their only line in the entire
series.

        The kitten wears a Sherlock Holmes deerstalker cap and
meerschaum pipe. While meowing, the pipe drops out of its
mouth and falls in front of the word "Productions".

kitten hits "rewind".  The picture winds backwards, and the kitten
meows again.
