Not a gun cleaning accident then.

Looks like Hulu, Sundance channel, me.tv channel (which we have)
Not sure what the Lou/Sue Ann liaison episode, as it wasn’t the main focus of the story, just a side laugh
She’s died in case you didn’t know. RIP Laura!
I think she was a black and white kind of person rather than color tv. Also, I think diabetes and alcoholism were a bit of a problem during the MTM years. But let’s face it, she was a brilliant comedienne.
Then who was Laura? Jack Palance?
I remember something in the pilot, which I saw in the last 10 years somewhere, about someone kind of extracting that she had gone too far with her ex. Will have to see it again.
I’d like to see the whole series, maybe binge watch with my older kids. Is it on Hulu or anywhere?
Really? I had not heard that...she went conservative?
I think on Hulu. BTW, if you’re going to binge watch a show, the original Bob Newhart show is also great. First drinking & tv game I heard about was “Hello, Bob.” You drank whenever someone said Bob, and finished your drink when someone said, “Hello, Bob.”
NBC news is now reporting that Mary Tyler Moore has passed away.
Dang.
RIP.
Not a turtleneck - a mock turtleneck made of a kind of knit material that had a short zipper at the back. Those were very popular in the 60s - every woman had them in many colors and they went perfectly with capri pants or straight skirts. And yes, she often wore sleeveless dresses which showed off her dancer’s beautiful arms. All her clothes on that show were Jackie O gorgeous. Beautiful woman.
So sorry to hear this! Another jewel from another Era gone by. Prayers for her husband and family.
She was that first generation of broadcast TV.
I watched MTM and Bob Newhart every Saturday night it seems.
I think it was Saturday.

Yes! That would be another good one! I think we could make a 70s family night. I like your idea.
Anecdote from a few years ago when my dad was alive but had Alzheimer’s. He was very physically fit, around 80, but the Alz took away his ability to speak. He was very busy, always had things he was wrapping and putting in his pockets for reasons that made sense only to him. He and Mom were living in Charleston, SC at the time.
I went to visit them, and with their lovely caregiver, we toured a rice plantation. As we were walking up the stone steps to this abode, my father in front of me, an item wrapped in napkins slipped out of his pant leg and lost its napkin wrapping. Dad quickly picked it up and stuffed it back into his waist. I was curious. And saw that the civil war period-dressed docent above us saw the whole thing, so when I got to her, I asked what the object had been. She said, in her darling drawl, “Ah believe it was a DVD of Mister Bob Newhart!” Of course it was. Lol.
Yes, RIP to MTM! My wife and I will have to watch a few episodes of Dick Van Dyke on Blu-ray tonight.
We have the entire series. Watching it in succession you are amazed not only at Mary’s emerging brilliant comedy talent but what a comic genius Dick was. Add in the supporting cast, the scripts...timeless magic.
Probably the most famous episode. I like the one in which Perfect Mary somehow had the worst day possible - starting with her hair looking weird. I think by the end of the episode, she had a sprained foot or something.
Speaking of Van Dyke and Carl Reiner, I wish they would release the movie The Comic, in which Dick played a silent-era comedian loosely based on Buster Keaton. Dick's love of silent comedy obviously paid off in the physical humor of Rob Petrie.
Dick’s idol was Stan Laurel. When Laurel was living alone and forgotten in a Santa Monica apartment, Dick visited and befriended him.
Dick Van Dyke also had a leading role .. well, one lead among many .. in the Shirley MacLaine movie, “What A Way To Go”, also starring Dean Martin, Robert Mitchum, Paul Newman, Gene Kelly, and Robert Cummings.
