I have noooooo idea what you're talking about.

At the end of every show made by MTM productions, you see the letters "MTM" and a kitten meowing. It's a spoof of MGM's lion roaring.

MtM Productions was a company owned by Mary Tyler Moore and then husband Grant Tinker. At the end of the MtM shows (The MTM Show, "Rhoda", "Newhart", "The Bob Newhart Show", WKRP) the kitten would come up and MEOW. As someone earlier said, it was a spoof of the MGM Lion. From what I've heard, hasn't she/he been dead since the 70s?

no ferreal, before Kellie clarified that, I seriously didn't know if you ment MTM or the cat

Brett Ferino · 01-21-2002, 09:37 PM

Also, in google groups i found this:

I remember reading in MTM's biography a few years ago (like 1996) that the cat had *just* died within the past few years. If I recall, the cat was borrowed from a local shelter and one of the staff kept it for all these years.

IS ANY OF THAT TRUE?

Grant Ticker was married to Mary Tyler Moore? Wasn't he like the president of NBC?

Yep, he was once the president of NBC in the mid-1960s I believe. "Mary Tyler Moore" (It's official title, there is no "The ____Show") was the work of both of them, and became the cornerstone of the MtM Empire...LOL...having an "empire" named after you must be cool

retrotvfan · 01-22-2002, 06:42 PM

he was also president of NBC in the 80's too
