This week it's all about style and interior design. Lou wants to redecorate his living room as a surprise for his wife while she's away at a fat farm (yeah, we know). But he can't do it alone, so he enlists Mary's help in finding a designer, and she just so happens to know the perfect person for the job — Rhoda. Styles clash and needs aren't perfec…

This week's episode, originally recorded *checks watch* last June(?!), definitely reads differently in our current climate. Rhoda is unceremoniously fired from her job and spends a week loafing around, mildly depressed, on Mary's couch. Mary tries to be encouraging but winds up not pushing her at all to find a new job, whereas Phyllis leans into th…

It only took us 9 months but we're back with some banked episodes from last year, before ... well, everything. This week, Lou finds out something unsettling about his favourite son-in-law — he was planning on cheating on his wife, Lou's daughter, and having an affair. This episode discusses the various issues with toxic masculinity of the day, incl…

And we're back! After what felt like forever, but was really seven months, we are back! Unfortunately, life just got in the way at the tail end of last year and the beginning of this one, so we had to take a bit of a personal leave of absence. But now we're back with a missing episode! Back in November it turned out we were missing episode 9. Somet…

This week is all about superstition! Lou sends a chain letter to everyone in the WJM office, and Mary is tempted to trash the thing and break the chain. Lou, however, guilts her into keeping up with it. Through this, she has the great misfortune of being reconnected with a man from hers - and Rhoda's - past: Armand Linton! Through Mr. Linton's hein…

This week, Lou's job is at risk, so Mary rallies the troops to come to his aid. It takes the help of the rowdy new station owner, Wild Jack Munroe (Slim Pickens), to get Lou reinstated. All in all, it's a relatively innocuous end to the first season of The Mary Tyler Moore Show. However, that doesn't stop us from making it a great end to our first …

The focus this week is on none other than our favourite Rhoda Morgenstern! The new man in her life, Chuck Pelligrini, seems too good to be true; he has all kinds of free time, tons of money, strange connections ... Rhoda and Mary start to suspect he may be part of the mob.

The new receptionist at WJM-TV is a "friend" from Mary's past; a sweet-as-pie woman named Twinks that Mary went to camp with ... 18 years ago! They haven't seen each other since. Until now, of course. And Twinks behaves as though not a single day had gone by, putting Mary on the spot to behave like her best friend in the world, and fill in as Maid …

Lou and his wife, Edie, have split up. The cause? After marrying off their last of three daughters, Edie decided she wanted something more than motherhood - she went back to college!

Mary's mortified in this week's episode as she has to have her tonsils out. Her roommate - yep, in 1971, a tonsillectomy was an in-patient procedure - is a gruff, sassy broad whose manpanion comes by for a visit in between fights. And who is this dame with the 'tude? None other than the incomparable Pat "Urusla" Carol!Meanwhile, Silvia and Ariel ta…

In this week's episode, written by the prolific Gail Parent, Murray's real ambitions come to the fore: he's been moonlighting as a playwright. With little success until now, a small local theatre has finally agreed to produce his play, as Mary and Ted star! Unlike the fantasy Murray has in his head, however, it does not do well. Meanwhile, Ariel an…

This week, Mary gets burgled ... TWICE! What ensues is a load of shtick from two cops doing their best Abbot and Costello impression, a relentless barrage of women being referred to as "girls", and some grossly inappropriate conduct (that Rhoda, naturally, quickly puts in its place.) Along the way, Ariel and Silvia recount their own stories of bein…

Mary finds herself smitten with WJM-TV's returned globe-trotting reporter, John Corcoran. There's just one tiny problem - he's still married.

This week sees an interesting change of events as Mary is offered a new job at another network producing a women's talk show.

As we look at Mary's indecisiveness about taking t…

This week, Mary goes on a date with Paul Arnell. Only catch is she has to go through his parent's first.

We discuss the difficulty of living in the shadow of a sibling, parental favouritis…

As Christmas rounds the corner, Mary finds herself forced to work not only Christmas day, but Christmas eve as well. Spending her first Christmas away from home was one thing, but now she's forced to spend it alone, too. Things take a delightful turn towards the end of the episode, while Ariel and Silvia discuss celebrating Christmas as an adult, a…

IMDb's synopsis for this week's episode is grossly misleading: Mary must deal with the amorous advances of WJM's obnoxious, and very young, new cameraman. Well, those "amorous advances" are really workplace sexual harassment. We dig pretty deep into this one, while discussing our own experience with sexual harassment and assault, at work and elsewh…
