* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fce6tlwwjQo original version]] of the GrandFinale's credits involving Mimsie the CuteKitten. Because, you know, the preceding epic MindScrew snowglobe ending just wasn't enough. In most episodes, she's dressed up in a cute little doctor's outfit while she meows as the [[Creator/MaryTylerMoore MTM Enterprises]] LogoJoke for the program. [[SurpriseCreepy This time]], however, [[spoiler: the opening bumper showed her unconscious and hooked up to an IV, and the closing bumper showed her [[KickTheDog flatlining]]]]. It proved to be so upsetting (especially to people who love cats) that nearly all if not all subsequent airings replace the bumper with the one used in the other episodes. To make matters worse, Mimsie actually died not long after the final episode aired.
