As a kid, I remember sitting on the floor in front of the TV with the family and watching Dick Van Dyke. Great memories. BUT....................... this reminds me: When did so many young women stop wanting to be like Mary Tyler Moore or Marlo Thomas and decide they wanted to be like Rosie or Whoopie?
Did Mary Tyler Moore pass? OMG! I grew up watching her on the Dick van Dyke show. She was fantastic in Lew Grant. God Bless Marie Tyler Moore. Regards, Jason Bourne
They stopped when Hollywood stopped making shows with positive role models. I've never watched "the View."
i always liked her show. her character on the show was a woman who was a feminist, not sure why you need to bring it up
A feminist in the 70s was a very different thing than it is today. And it was a very different time. Just having a show about a divorced, unmarried woman was cutting edge and controversial. Interesting note: Normal Lear said that Mary and Dick Van Dyke really did love each other. Had they not already been married, they might have been a couple.
She was a good actress who played roles any age could watch. She never was on as a regular on Lew Grant maybe she quest starred but I do not recall her being on Lew Grant. Maybe you are mixing up seeing Ed Asner on her show.
Mary Tylet Moore like many actors and actresses were not exactly in real life as the roles they played . Mary TM apparently was a decent person though with a liberal bent since she was an animal rights advocate and she was involved in charity work. She also had her problems with alcoholism as many actors and actresses have but at least there us no record of drug misuse or elicit drug use.
I grew up watching the Dick Van Dyke show. (reruns) I didn't care for her politics, but I enjoyed her acting. Maybe someone with better google foo can prove this, but I heard that Mary Tyler Moore was the only leading lady in an Elvis movie that wouldn't sleep with Elvis. I'll give her respect for not being a slut. RIP.
I grew up in the 70's watching CBS on Saturday night ... All in the Family, Mary Tyler Moore, the Bob Newhart Show, and Carol Burnett. All were classics. Mary and Bob were the best. Chuckles the Clown!!!
Mary Tyler Moore and her ilk help make fathers, men, a permanent heterosexual relation gone with the wind in American culture. She never suggested what a healthy heterosexual relationship was, only what was wrong about it. Even her spin off, Rhoda got married and divorced. Feminism need not be adversarial to the American family. Mary Tyler Moore led otherwise. May she burn in Hell! Consider more women "must work" post Mary Tyler Moore than before. Moi r > g Across an immense, unguarded, ethereal border, Canadians, cool and unsympathetic, regard our America with envious eyes and slowly and surely draw their plans against us.
When folks think about the ensemble cast on her show, its easy to forget she was the glue that made it all work. never a false moment in her characterization, she drew out ever ounce of humor in her lines, without overshadowing any in her compadres, whether we were smiling or laughing hysterically, Mary always seemed as comfortable and warm as ones favorite pair of slippers. Not a lot of women could hold their own in scenes with Dick Van dyke, Morey Amsterdam, Ed Asner, Ted Knight, Cloris Leachman, or Betty White and still generously showcase their talents.
I'm not the type of man that lets a TV show take away my masculinity. Perhaps men on thin ice should watch football instead. Sniffing jocks seems to bolster their self-esteem.
No, they aren't. I was married to one - a perpetual victim. Like all movements do over time, is has devolved. And most of the issues then don't even exist today.
