'''Logo:''' Over the years, the logo has been tweaked color wise and according to certain shows, but here's the basic concept: An "{{Font color|red|'''M'''}}" flies backward from off screen, then splits into two. In the space left between the two letters, two "{{Font color|green|'''T'''}}"'s come from the top and bottom of the screen and join to form one. This completes the initials of the company, and the letter "{{Font color|limegreen|'''T'''}}" shrinks when a {{Font color|gold|gold}} circle appears over it. Under the letters are the words "{{Font color|#FFD900|'''ENTERPRISES, INC.}}'''", "{{Font color|#FFD900|'''ENTERPRISES'''}}", "{{Font color|#FFD900|'''PRODUCTIONS, INC.'''}}", or "{{Font color|#FFD900|'''PRODUCTIONS'''}}". Sometimes, the finished logo will read out "'''{{Font color|#FFD900|AN}} {{Font color|red|M}}{{Font color|green|T}}{{Font color|red|M}} {{Font color|#FFD900|ENTERPRISES (INC.) PRODUCTION}}'''" ("{{Font color|#FFD900|'''AN}}'''" appears over the first "{{Font color|red|'''M}}'''"). Back to the circle, it is ribbon-like and decorated with stars and the letters "{{Font color|gold|'''MTM'''}}" on top. Inside is a live-action orange striped kitten who meows once, obviously as a parody of the [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios|MGM]] lion. All the text (except for the later versions) appears in the Peignot font used for the [[Viacom (pre-2006)|Viacom]] "Pinball" logo. | '''Logo:''' Over the years, the logo has been tweaked color wise and according to certain shows, but here's the basic concept: An "{{Font color|red|'''M'''}}" flies backward from off screen, then splits into two.

This was seen and heard on some shows such as the short-lived 1997 revival of ''It Takes Two'' with Dick Clark and the 1st season of the sitcom ''Sparks'' among shows. | ||

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. | ||
