Ted Bessell ended up being Mary’s last serious boyfriend too (they didn’t marry before The Mary Tyler Moore Show ended, though).

Interesting fact: Barbara Colby, who played Sherry on that episode and on the episode in which Mary went to jail for not revealing a source, was Ethel Merman’s daughter-in-law.
Good series, back in the day.
I knew you’d be precise
And I appreciate it
Mary was my first crush to be honest
My wife will wear a mock turtleneck
On a nice bosom women with a waist in black cashmere it’s a great look
I’m thinking Julie Christie too or Bardot
I live in mock turtlenecks, lol! If not, I’d look like the no-neck monster of Tennessee Williams fame.
You have good taste, as always. She was so pretty in that show and brilliantly funny and true to life. What an actress. She said she studied Dick Van Dyke to learn comedy and it always showed.
Julie and Bridget are also idols of mine. Compare those great stars to the horse-faced, hook-nosed Streep.
It’s pretty obvious you know your Dick Van Dyke Show - down to the annoying Richie who I always believed was based on Rob Reiner. If you doubt me, look at Rob Reiner’s kid in The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming - although written by William Rose. A Richie clone!
Everything in that show was perfect - Rosemarie, Morey Amsterdam, the great Richard Deacon, Carl Reiner, Jerry Paris, etc...you couldn’t beat that cast or those scripts.
It didn't take Sherlock Holmes to work out the situation when her ex fiancée showed up in the pilot looking for a booty call.
I found it on Hulu and have watched four or five episodes. He does show up in I think the second episode, clearly for a booty call. So funny the careful way they dealt with it back then!!
He says something like “You don’t think I came all the way out here for .... did you?” She throws him out and cries.
In the episode on right now, she is working out in her apartment wearing only a tight tee shirt and panty hose. Wouldn’t that have been pretty racy back then??
