This is the production company of former MTM Enterprises employees James L. Brooks, David Davis, Stan Daniels and Ed. Weinberger.
Nickname: "Good Night, Mr. Walters!"
Logo: We see a clip of a stereotypical businessman named Mr. Walters (played by Ed. Weinberger, a producer for this production company) leaving his office, with a credit superimposed over the clip stating:
This is usually followed with an "In Association With" screen.
Variants:
FX/SFX: It's all live-action.
Music/Sounds: The ending of the show's theme song combined with a female secretary saying, "Good night, Mr. Walters!", and Mr. Walters grumbling, probably from a hard day on the job. None for the Italian variant.
Availability: Rare, as it can be seen at the end of Taxi. This was also seen on the short-lived series The Associates and the 1978 TV movie Cindy.
Editor's Note: "Mr. Walters" is going in delayed motion (a la the MTM Enterprises logo). Despite that, this logo is a favorite of many.
