The Mary Tyler Moore Show

09/07/20 • 8 min

We travel to Minneapolis when times were simpler, at least for a Mary Tyler Moore, an unmarried white woman trying to make her way in the male-dominated world of journalism in the 1970s. Mary shows her biggest fault in one of my favorite episodes. Is it still funny to my kids and me over two generations after it originally aired?
