Slate (1988?-unknown retirement year)

Visuals: At the top of the screen is the stacked text "TV23 PRODUCTIONS", with "TV23" in the same style as on the KTMA logo. Under it is production information in white.
Variants:
- One variant has a black background. Halfway into the slate, the production info disappears and in its place is ":10". The number flips over to ":9", then to ":8", and so on. The slate cuts to black when the counter reaches ":2".
- Another variant has a gray background. There is no countdown this time.
Technique: 2D computer animation, or none.
Audio: None.
Availability: Both known variants can be seen on the original masters for the first two produced episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (the unaired pilot, "The Green Slime"; and "Invaders from the Deep") respectively. A second of this slate is intact on a VHX print of the latter.
