True. And mark my words--NBC got THOUSANDS of nasty letters from irate viewers after the last episode of "St. Elsewhere" aired -- especially from cat owners.
"The White Shadow" had a funny one where the kitty came out and dribbled a basketball...but my favorite was on "Newhart", where they dubbed Newhart's own voie saying "meow"
I like the one for the movie "A Little Sex", with 2 animated kitties purring. I've never seen the movie--just saw the logo here on YouTube, but it has become my favorite MTM logo variation.
WOW! It's nice to know I wasn't the only one! I believe it was the longer-than-usual silent pause BEFORE the meow that scared me! There was once one in the 70's, which showed Mimsie rotate upside-down to the tone of a slide whistle after she meowed. That scared the hell out of me!
I wish I could remember. It wasn't a standard MTM series, though, but rather one of those hour-long variety specials I think on CBS, somewhere around 1976 (I was just 8), that contained the stars and clips of various MTM shows (like Ted Knight, Valerie Harper, Tony Randall, etc). Sounds corny to have been scared by that little twist, but I didn't expect it, and it really made me jump (especially since it was 10:00 at night)!
I'd want Mimsie as my doctor :D

Flatlining the cat in the series finale was bad. lol
On one hand, I appreciate the kind of humor they were aiming for in doing that. I get it.
But, I think it was just a classic case of an idea that looked much better on paper. LOL! I think that pretty much says it all....

You're not alone. It was the *meow* more than anything, but the letters (in that hideous font) moving on a black screen didn't help either.

I used to fear this cause I misinterpreted the disguised Mimsie. I thought it was a big cat head with only its eyes showing.
