While the
world was being turned on by the jailhouse reunion of Mary Richards (no
stranger to the slammer) and Sue Ann Nivens over on "Hot in Cleveland," Mare's former neighbors and besties -- Rhoda Morgenstern and Phyllis Lindstrom -- were together again yesterday at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences' Hall of Fame Ceremony in Beverly Hills Hotel. With plans of moving out of my longtime apartment weighing heavy on me -- which have since fallen through -- Mary's been on my mind a lot this week. (Her
move into that high-rise was
REALLY tough on me, as I hate change.)
Then last night I happened upon the "Sex and the City" where Carrie Bradshaw was less into her new beau than she was his filmmaker mom, played by Valerie Harper. I know they won't be around forever, so every chance to see members of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" family makes me happy. Now can we get a Joyce Bulifant-Georgia Engel reunion going, or what? You can keep Murray, though, he's apparently turned into a right-wing nut. (Blame it on years of unrequited love!)

MacLeod's conversion to Christianity came in a particularly ridiculous way—he prayed to God to give his ailing mom a few more years, and his ex-wife prayed to bring him back to her. Both things happened so he changed on the spot. But that is NOT what having faith in God should be about—testing God, making promises to God in exchange for favors, sheesh. (I'm an atheist, but even *I* get that!)
But if you're going to turn on Mure, you gotta turn on Mare—Mary Tyler Moore has asserted she loves Bill O'Reilly and that she would have gladly campaigned for John McCain and Sarah Palin if only he'd asked her to, and she did offer.
True. I guess we've all known MTM was more Beth from "Ordinary People" than she was Mary Richards for ages now. But I suppose I'm more willing to remember her as Mare -- and forgive her obvious shortcomings -- than I am Gavin, who lost me years ago as Capt. Stubing!
