I remember this show as a kid
Not being used to having my own channel I had trouble getting back to you. That was amazing your mom is beautiful, you must be very proud! Little bit racy for way back then, I was surprised! Please don't tell her I said way back then but I wanted to say congratulations
XHGC Channel 5 México 1974 The Nice Faces in 1974
I used the theme song from this CBS fall preview for my pilot episode of Kuzco, Tak and the Power of Juju.
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.
Five episodes are available on You Tube
"What's your religion?" LOL
I can spot the problem right away. The opening is a copy of the Mary Tyler Moore show
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.
Amazing that Ed recognized this reading of Lou grant wasn’t funny . They got rid of the laugh track.turned set around.
That's Herb Edelman, not Edelson. And did he call him "William Comrade"?! 😀
Black and white? WOW, first time seeing this in b/w.
1974 Born Jimmy Fallon and 4 faces its James Marsden
I've never seen any clips of actual episodes, only the intro sequence. And I never saw this one in syndication. I suppose it must not have been too popular.

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.
I remember this series. It was a filler during the summer.
He froze.
Description correct. It is indeed from the 74-75 season; during that season CBS used the Stymie font for its promos.
RIP, Mary Tyler Moore
This show and Northern Exposure were the two most creative shows I have seen in the dry desert that we call television. I don't think either would be successful in today's culture.
😭
I hope that the episodes of this series directed by Richard Donner gets uploaded, I would love to see them. Thanks.
Tough guy with catch phrases...too bad cuz Sorvino is a good actor. Still one of my favorite title themes of the 70s.
Ah, Marvin Kalb, official enemy of Richard Nixon 😄.
This is filmed in Portland. Four square (Keller) fountain and the old Lloyd Center ice rating rink. The circular staircase was also there until the late 80s.
Thanks for posting. I had this and other promos on VHS from recording episodes of TNG, but I haven't seen them in years.
Glynnis was heavenly.

Twister the game with tarp that you play on? or the Twister the tornado?
'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.
Nowadays, "Girl watchers" are considered stalkers and can be convicted of sex crimes and have to register as sex offenders. What a great world we live in.
ABC? NBC? CBS? INDEPENDENT?
Lucas Tanner Will Continue!
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.
I hope y'all will reply to this what would Archie think about Barack Obama Donald Trump and Joe Biden??????!!!!!!
I hope y'all will reply to this I liked that show Those Amazing Animals
I loved watching SmackDown on UPN
RIP Valerie Harper ⭐⭐.
Who was the cleavage wench?
I like the way she stood up for herself. In the 70s, that was frowned upon. In the 80s, it was hard, too, I remember. Male bosses were jerks.
One of the oddest shows in the history of TV.
An early look at the biased, liberal media.
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."
