DLEGS: We Just Watched The Very First Episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show -- it's on Hulu

BF was trying to get to High Fidelity and they offered it as a suggestion-- S1 E1

I had never seen it.

Ed Asner was probably 39 when it was filmed, he looked 60. Mary was only about 7 years younger than him IRL

Plot would never have cut it now in the time of #MeToo -- Mr. Grant showing up at her apartment drunk, telling her she has a "great caboose" -- can you even show drunk characters now without a follow up of them admitting they have an alcoholism problem?

Cloris Leachman's character was funny AF

And what are Christmas Seals? I've heard of them and could probably google, but was it a big thing.

Anyway, given your affection for old sitcoms, I thought you might appreciate it.

BTW, High Fidelity remake was actually very good. Loved the book when I was in high school and the Cusack movie too. Not sure if many of you will like it -- it does reference Fleetwood Mac though and Fran from Girls is in it.
