MTM ENTERPRISES
MTM Enterprises was an American independent production company established in 1969 by Mary Tyler Moore and her then-husband Grant Tinker to produce The Mary Tyler Moore Show for CBS. The name for the production company was drawn from Moore’s initials. MTM produced a number of successful television programs during the 1970s and 1980s. Its famous logo featured a meowing cat named Mimsie inside a circle surrounded by gold ribbons, similar to how Leo the Lion is featured in the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer logo. (More from Wikipedia)
Despite the stellar cast, innovative plot lines, and a lead-in from Green Acres, the show was cancelled after only one season. He & She is now considered to be a ground-breaking series that paved the way for the MTM shows of the 1970’s like The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Bob Newhart Show; they ran back-to-back for years, and I never missed them. Those shows basically ruined me for television programs in future years.
