*''MTM Christmas Gag Reel'': Made for the MTM staff, this combo of the popular shows at the time feature two variants on the MTM logo. One near the beginning is the standard logo, only Mimsie says "Wooooooow!" (possibly taken from Julie Kavner's line as Brenda on Rhoda). Later, the wreathed version of the logo appears, except now Mimsie gives a female shriek. | *''MTM Christmas Gag Reel'': Made for the MTM staff, this combo of the popular shows at the time feature two variants on the MTM logo.

*''Bailey Kipper's P.O.V.'': The logo squishes itself up during the animation to make room for the letters P and V, as well as the text "BAILEY KIPPER'S SECRET VIDEO DIARY" appear in the bottom of the screen. The letters animate the same way as in the regular variant, with an O appearing earlier than Mimsie's ring. Inside the O is an eyeball, which closes and fades into a human boy turning around and "meowing". | |||

*Among the last shows to use this logo are the first season of ''The Pretender'', along with ''Family Challenge'', ''Sparks'', and the short-lived sitcoms ''Bailey Kipper's P.O.V.'' and ''Good News''. It is generally preserved on DVD and digital prints of the first series, but is plastered by the 20th Television logo on reruns. | *Among the last shows to use this logo are the first season of ''The Pretender'', along with ''Family Challenge'', ''Sparks'', and the short-lived sitcoms ''Bailey Kipper's P.O.V.'' and ''Good News''.

*There are some examples of plastering still out there; notably, ''Hill Street Blues'' and ''The Pretender'' reruns on Heroes and Icons have many episodes ending in only 20th Television. A select number of ''St. Elsewhere'' episodes on Hulu end with 20th Century Fox Television only (one example even features the MTM soundtrack being kept at the end of the theme, despite plastering the logo). Some reruns of ''White Shadow'' are 20th only, though the MTM variant survives too. | *There are some examples of plastering still out there; notably, ''Hill Street Blues'' and ''The Pretender'' reruns on Heroes and Icons have many episodes ending in only 20th Television.

*The variant seen on ''Bailey Kipper's P.O.V.'' is extremely rare, and is only found from original airings of the show, as said show was never released on home video. | |||
'''Editor's Note:''' This is highly regarded among many for being a cute parody of the MGM logo, as well as featuring pretty good animation for the '70s, a neat design, multiple custom variations, and surprisingly really good video quality of Mimsie. However, the ''St. Elsewhere'' series finale logo is rather infamous for its depressing nature; the ''Texas Wheelers'' variant may be the same way if it exists or is discovered. | '''Editor's Note:''' This is highly regarded among many for being a cute parody of the MGM logo, as well as featuring pretty good animation for the '70s, a neat design, multiple custom variations, and surprisingly really good video quality of Mimsie.
