'''Editor's Note:''' As with other MGM logos, the lion's roar has frightened some young viewers, and the trumpet vibrations on the 1960-62 fanfare may have a similar effect. But other viewers who grew up seeing this logo at the time, or on repeats of ''How the Grinch Stole Christmas!'', may view it fondly. Generally, it's regarded as a memorably distinct variant of the famous MGM lion logo. On the other note, the 1965 version looks more like Leo's head was pasted onto another Lion's body. | '''Editor's Note:''' As with other MGM logos, the lion's roar has frightened some young viewers, and the trumpet vibrations on the 1960-62 fanfare may have a similar effect.

'''Availability:''' Extinct. Was seen only on the closing credits of the very short-lived NBC sitcom ''The Montefuscos'', which was one of the first casualties of the 1975-76 TV season. Although there is one extant episode on You Tube, posted by former child actor Rob Arbitelle (who appeared in the show as one of the grandchildren), it is currently unknown whether or not the remaining videotapes of ''The Montefuscos'' still survive (in which case the show would lie with Warner Bros. Television/Turner Entertainment Co.), or if NBC "wiped" (erased) said tapes of the program to use for other shows. | '''Availability:''' Extinct.
