Good question. I'd like to know this too. I think on Gimme a Break! Season 2, one of them got past the logo police on one episode. I also know Punky Brewster has what I believe is the original closing credit logo for NBC. And they have also put the original CBS logo on the I Love Lucy sets as a bonus. The Sony releases all use the new logo as well as the CBS/Paramount releases of Laverne & Shirley, Happy Days and Mork and Mindy.

Of mine:
"MTM" S1 and S2 (1970-72) each have the original MTM kitten on every episode.

"CHiPs" S1 (1977-78) has the original MGM "roaring lion" logo on every episode.

"Hill Street Blues" S1 and S2 (winter/spring '81 and 1981-82) and "St. Elsewhere" S1 (1982-83) each have their respective MTM logos ("policeman" on "HSB", and "doctor" on "St. Elsewhere").

"The Fall Guy" S1 (1981-82) has the original Glen Larson and TCF TV logos on all but, I believe, 2 episodes (on these, there is a static screen with the connected GL in white and "A Glen Larson Production in association with" below against what I believe to be a shot of Colt Seavers).

"Knight Rider" S1 (1982-83) has the original Glen Larson and Universal logos on every episode.

"Hardcastle and McCormick" S1 and S2 (1983-85) have the original Stephen J. Cannell logo at the end of each episode, in several different variations.

"Moonlighting" S1-S2 (Spring '85 and 1985-86) has the original Picturemaker and ABC Circle logos on all episodes, including the pilot.

"MacGyver" S1 has the Winkler/Rich logo and also the Paramount Television "Blue Mtn." logo on the end of all episodes.

I heard that on one of the season 1 episodes of "THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW" on DVD, they have the old CBS logo.

And, on season1 of "BARNEY MILLER" they don't have the "4 D PRODUCTIONS" logo; instead they have the "SONY PICTURES" one.
