*<u>''The Bob Newhart Show''</u>: The 1972 Christmas episode features a wreath in place of the MTM ribbon. On the season 4 episode "No Sale", footage of a cat from the episode named Abogast appears in the circle instead. He jumps down, disappearing from the circle's view, and as he does, Mimsie's meow is heard. On the season 5 Christmas episode "Making Up Is the Thing to Do", another Christmas wreath is also used. This was also used on the season 1 Rhoda episode "Guess What I Got You For the Holidays". On the season 3 episode of The Bob Newhart Show "Big Brother is Watching," a short loud lion's roar is heard in place of Mimsie's meow (considering the origins of the company and the logo...). | *<u>''The Bob Newhart Show''</u>: The 1972 Christmas episode features a wreath in place of the MTM ribbon.

*<u>''Newhart''</u>: Each episode (except the pilot) featured Mimsie meowing | *<u>''Newhart''</u>: Each episode (except the pilot) featured Mimsie meowing in Bob Newhart's voice. On the season 1 episode "No Room at the Inn", a pink Christmas wreath (similar to the one used on ''The Bob Newhart Show'', and ''Rhoda'') is featured in place of the MTM ribbon. On the final episode, the cat yells "QUIET!" (the two Darryls' first and only word). | ||
*<u>''Remington Steele''</u>: Mimsie wears a Sherlock Holmes deerstalker cap and meerschaum pipe. As she begins to meow, the pipe drops out of her mouth and falls in front of "{{color|#FFD900|'''ENTERPRISES, INC.}}'''" or "{{color|#FFD900|'''PRODUCTIONS'''}}". Mid-1990s prints of the show added a small IFE byline reading "{{color|orange|'''A DIVISION OF INTERNATIONAL FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT'''}}", with the logo slightly zoomed out to make room for it. | *<u>''Remington Steele''</u>: Mimsie wears a Sherlock Holmes deerstalker cap and meerschaum pipe.

*<u>''St. Elsewhere''</u>: Mimsie is wearing a scrub suit and a surgical mask, which is animated to look like her mouth is moving underneath when she meows. At least two episodes feature a different meow soundtrack. On the final episode, she (possibly portrayed by another cat) is hooked on life support on a hospital bed throughout the last credit roll. The credits run as usual over a picture of the MTM circle, with life support equipment attached on either side. You can hear the beeps of the heart monitor over the end theme, too. After the credits complete, the company name fades in and Mimsie flatlines and dies, with a long, high-pitched beep heard. Reruns of the series finale plastered this variant over with the typical credits (as a side note, the actual cat, Mimsie, died in 1988, the same year ''St. Elsewhere'' ended). According to Grant Tinker, it was not uncommon for MTM to kill off Mimsie in their logo whenever a show got cancelled. | *<u>''St. Elsewhere''</u>: Mimsie is wearing a scrub suit and a surgical mask, which is animated to look like her mouth is moving underneath when she meows.
