MTM Enterprises was the production company founded by Mary Tyler Moore and Grant Tinker in 1969, and its closing logo became one of television's most recognisable trademarks: a kitten named Mimsie meowing inside the company initials. The variant heard here closed episodes of Bay City Blues, the short-lived 1983 NBC baseball drama. Logo enthusiasts have catalogued dozens of MTM variants over the years, and the meow has lived on in memes and parody videos as instant shorthand for vintage television, joining sounds like the Law and Order dun-dun as a four-second joke that says a show has officially ended.

The classic MTM Enterprises logo sting with the meowing kitten, from the Bay City Blues 1983 variant. A retro TV bumper creators drop into memes and edits.
This is the closing logo sting from MTM Enterprises, the television production company behind The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Bob Newhart Show and Hill Street Blues. It captures the company's brief on-screen ident and the trademark moment every viewer remembers: Mimsie the kitten meowing once from inside the logo. This recording is the 1983 variant heard at the end of Bay City Blues. At under four seconds it lands as a tiny burst of retro television nostalgia, the kind of familiar sign-off that makes viewers smile and instantly signals that a fake or parody show has just wrapped.
