TV and Movies

I love all the old sitcoms as they were actually funny and intelligently written.  Not like the silly, childish shows they have on now.   I just started watching the old Mary Tyler Moore show with "Lou Grant" and I forgot how hilarious they were.  Stellar cast, excellent acting and writing.  I am so loving watching this show all over again.  Now up to season 5.

This was discussed several weeks ago here when  UP TV first started airing in the mornings. Classic TV at its best.

@lovesallanimals was my most favorite shows from the 70s and I watch it every morning on UpTV.  I was going to post about it yesterday but didn't think anyone would be interested.

MTM was brilliant....and she influenced millions of us women as we were growing up (for the better). How many of us have felt the joy of tossing our berets up in the air in the middle of a city as we then start swirling around with a great big smile on our face? Haha! I may not have actually done this, but I know the feeling. MTM taught us that.

I remember reading about the theme song.  The first season of the show the line was "You might just make it after all".  Some show producers thought the line was somewhat negative so the following season the line was changed to "You are going to make it after all".

Did you all know that in Minn. there is a statue of Mary tossing her hat in the air, it stands right where that scene was filmed in 1970.

Funny, I sometimes watch the DVD  Show on Me TV and Mary looks older on there than years later on her own show. I think thry made her look younger with longer hair in the early days of MTM and older with more sophisticated teased hair on DVD since she was a wife and a mother.  Plus DVD was 11 years her senior.
