'''Audio Variants:'''
*Starting in 1996, a five-note jingle (composed by Al Kasha) was added before Mimsie meows. This was used on some shows such as the short-lived 1997 revival of ''It Takes Two'' with Dick Clark and the first season of the sitcom ''Sparks'', among other shows.
*On the game shows <u>''Shopping Spree''</u> and the short-lived <u>''Wait Til' You Have Kids''</u>, Burton Richardson announces "In association with MTM Enterprises, Inc." on the logo while the theme is playing and Mimsie meowing.
*On <u>the Shout! Factory DVD print of the ''Hill Street Blues'' season 4 episode "Grace Under Pressure"</u>, the 1989 TCFTV fanfare from the 1992 [[20th Television]] jingle plays over the MTM logo (cutting off Mimsie's meow), with the 1992 20th Television logo not seen at all.
*On <u>the Shout! Factory DVD print of ''The Bob Newhart Show'' season 5 episode "Et, Tu, Carol"</u>, the last second of the show's end theme and the cat's meow are severely distorted. This may be due to a tape error.
*The ''St. Elsewhere'' finale variation can only be found from original airings of the show.
**VHS copies and reruns of the show just use the regular credit sequence and logo (with the exception of a print seen on the then-ALN Network, which had the normal credits and only the 20th Television logo).
** The Hulu version of the series finale uses the typical version with the MTM logo at the end. You can see the original version on the Paley Center's copy.
*The ''The Trials of Rosie O'Neill'' variant can be found on The Archive TV, Multicom's streaming service, where the show can be streamed.
*The ''Carlton'' variation can be found on the final season DVD set of ''Rhoda'', as the cartoon is added as a bonus.
*The 1992 variant makes infrequent appearances at the end of some episodes of ''Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman'' on Up.
*Also seen on 1994-98 syndicated prints of ''Rescue 911'', which can be seen on the Justice Network.
*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 former series, but is plastered by the 20th Television logo on reruns.
*The gag reel can be seen only at the Paley Center.
*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.
'''Legacy:''' This is highly regarded among many for being a cute parody of the MGM logo, as well as featuring good animation for the '70s, a neat design, and multiple custom variations. However, the ''St. Elsewhere'' series finale logo is rather infamous for its depressing nature.
