    This was like Dark Shadows’ relation to The Munsters and The Addams Family in the ‘60s…Happy Days was one of the most popular sitcoms of 1974 so CBS decided they wanted a nighttime soap opera that took place in the ‘50s. Nothing new then, just reuse the idea of a soap from an already popular sitcom or two.

    This clip was a segment of the first script they filmed to give the station affiliates something to advertise her show.mary was given the right to film a series without a pilot for approval. This reading of mr grant was a version Ed Asner in his brilliance changed before filming the first episode . Mary tries to pick up the the slack here getting nothing from Ed being as charming as possible without being someone we wouldn’t like. Comedy is a dance with each note having the right rhythm. Luckily for us they found the formula.this rough cut demonstrates just how difficult it is to find all the elements to bring it all together. Mary always credits her fellow actors and in her show she’s right but Mary has the personality and talent to bring out the humor by playing each scene with the Mary Richards integrity , showing respect for the other persons feelings by being accommodating to each characters personality. Her earnestness presents opportunities for humor watching her negotiate with numerous different characters. They may say outrageous things but Mary Richards always works with it and when necessary politely leaves no room for misrepresentation when she says no or good- bye as she did with her bf in first show who visits her and we see why Mary needs to stay away from this creep who used her and putting off marriage but still wants the milk from the cow.excellent actress in MTM . Ordinary People just confirmed it.

    I was 12 when this show aired. Spearheaded by Happy Days, television viewers sought escape from the angst of the 1970s by escaping into 1950 nostalgia, but this show only served up 1950s angst. That's the last thing television viewers wanted in the 1970s. This show should have been called Unhappy Days. It only lasted 12 episodes. I'm surprised it lasted 2 episodes. It was so depressing.

    'The Defenders' with sideburns and an Alice band: part of CBS's doomed attempt to lose the boonies audience and appeal to hip 18-34 year olds. It was soon adjusted to tone down the 'attorneys against The Man' element, becoming 'Men at Law'; but it was viewed and rejected as was 'Mod Squad' and other executive-suite plays for the post-hippie public. Book 'em, Danno.

    Mary Tyler Moore gets (and deserves) so much praise, but I don't think the show works without Ed Asner. He is exactly the correct grumpy foil for Mary's optimism, and he plays his supporting role flawlessly throughout the run of the show. This scene was precisely the right way to introduce audiences to the series.

    Interesting how the narrator mentioned "Mary's making all new friends." It's almost like an intentional attempt at distancing from her previous - and somewhat iconic - TV character of just a few years earlier, Laura Petrie, on "The Dick Van Dyke Show."
