Who can turn the world on with her smile...

Sad, but it happens to all of us eventually.

The Mary Tyler Moore show was one of the great sitcoms of all time.

It had a lot of the same writers as the early years of The Simpsons.

The casting on that show was perfect.

I don’t care for Ed Asner’s politics, but he was perfect for the role of Lou Grant.

She turned 80 just last month.

When I was in college, a local TV station broadcasted reruns of The Mary Tyler Moore Show every week day at 4 P.M.

My girlfriend and a bunch of her dorm friends would crowd into her room every day to watch it.

If I was free, I would come by and watch, too.

Sweet memories, from the simpler times of youth.

Thanks, Mary. Get well soon.

Yah,I'm an absolute b*****d but before I offer any sympathy for anyone in showbiz I want to know a little bit about what they were like away from the camera/microphone.

God knows that many of them,if they ever got to know me,would hate my guts.

Ed Asner (self admitted Marxist) says that MTM was a Republican? Well,that's good enough for me.Sounds like she's worthy of my prayers!

“If McCain had asked me to campaign for him, I would have.”

Sorry, Mary. If Ace McCain had wanted to win, he would have asked.

Very old woman.

Though Dick Van Dyke is older.

Last time I saw her she wasn’t looking great.

Did she play Ellen’s mother in the sitcom?

I like spunky women. Mary’s probably one of the reasons why.

Prayers. I always enjoyed her work.

Will she make it after all?

This is very sad for me, because I am a big fan of hers. In fact, I recently ordered the series of “The Mary Tyler Moore show” on DVD.

Dick Van Dyke said in an interview not long ago, that she was pretty much a recluse, refusing to see anyone, except maybe her husband.

It’s also been widely reported that she’s now blind and just wants to go be with her only son, who accidentally shot himself at of the 24.

I don’t know if anyone here remembers that Mary Tyler Moore was much more conservative in her personal life than the characters she played as she herself has stated.

To the horror of her liberal friends, she told Bill O’Reilly in an interview that she was a “libertarian” and would have voted for John McCain. (It was reported at the time that her very liberal costar, Ed Asner, was not too happy to discover this about her.)

Anyway, she has been in my prayers of late and I pray that the Lord will draw her to Himself and give her life eternal.

Really loved the show once in reruns. Followed the 10 PM local news, and then end always meant bedtime to face another stressful day. How I hated for those thirty minutes to be up

I thought the episode were Ted learned to play poker was the funniest one, altho Chuckles The Clown is considered a sitcom classic

I was a young, single working girl when the Mary Tyler Moore show was running, and I was looking for an apartment. I wanted one just like her first one in the show. Never could find one in my price range even close to that one.

First, there was Danny Thomas’s daughter, Marlo in That Girl.
The natural succession to her ‘Excited Ingenue’ character was Mary.

Less well known, is how MTM Enterprises eventually became the nucleus of what was later known as Fox News.
Yes, there is a direct connection of programming that was sold off by Mary and her husband.

She really was so cute and charming when she was young. I just saw an episode of Dick Van Dyke recently. And I remember her own show when I was little. She played the straight guy and all the characters around her got the great lines, and got all the Emmys. But she made it all happen.

Prayers up for best possible outcome.
