Mary Tyler Moore won a Golden globe for this show , she definitely deserved just like everyone else in this show.

[@joymechell277]

I love it when Rob calls her Laurie 🥹 such a sweet nickname for her . My sisters name is Lauren and I call her Laurel sometimes

[@randilevson9547]

Richie showed amazing insight into the difference between "like" and "love', courtesy of the great writers.

[@CamilleGG451]

Yes!!

[@LoneWombat2126]

My mom was the first person to say that she’ll always love me, my sister and my dad…but might not always like us or our behavior. That was much easier to take and much much easier to understand, and use myself later on.

Originally telecast on November 28, 1961. This episode was the first time Carl assumed the role of "Alan Brady"- albeit through a phone call. He doesn't appear in the flesh {with his face obscured} until "The Sleeping Brother" in March 1962.

[@randilevson9547]

Exactly one month before I was born. I was a huge fan of this show, albeit a few years later. I still love it to this day. Dick VD and Mary TM were tremendous together.

[@wiseguymaybe]

Really, I didn't know that, great piece of tirvia. 👍196I huh? I was the same age as Larry Mathews, who played Richie at the ripe old age of 6.

[@lynettepalecek3141]

Yes, a lot of mothers do read to their child when their child is young. That's how their child learns to enjoy reading. When my mother was in high school, she was a natural thespian and drama instructor. When she read to me when I was a very young child, she really brought the story to life. That's why I such a strong urge to read to myself a lot when I was 7 years old. Yes, I did a lot of playing too when I was a young girl. I played football with my brothers, I played softball, I went sledding, I played croquet, I climbed trees, I played with my dolls and stuffed animals, I played dress-up, I played school, and I played hide and seek with my brother and the neighborhood kids. It's extremely important for a child to learn to read to himself or herself early in life and to get plenty of exercise. They'll be a lot healthier both mentally and physically if they do. I meant to say "Yes, a lot of mothers do read to their children when their children are young. That's how their children learn to enjoy reading to themselves."

Really? Uh, more like, the god is such a monster that he cannot simply say "I forgive you for all the sins that I created". Instead, he has gull to say "Oh, if you believe that I sacrificed myself to myself, then you can go to heaven. Otherwise, you go to hell". Your god is a jerk!

Since when does Alan Brady think so much of Buddy Sorrell, to gift him with such a fancy pipe? He always treated Buddy with contempt.

[@fromthesidelines]

That's just it. Buddy *says* Alan gave him the pipe, when he knows darned well he rarely- if ever- gives him ANYTHING. 😉

[@elaineteeter9485]

Alan didn't give Buddy the pipe

I think the screenshot was taken between transition's period (from previous scene to next). I think that would be the only explanation...

I thought the pipe blew up and he got tobacco all over his face.

[@buddybates3247]

Exactly to the previous commenters, it actually a lie. And should be taken as so. Wonder if it was purposely done by AI. 🤔

[@garyfrancis6193]

I forgot the story of this one though I remembered the pipe. It’s a meerschaum ( sea foam) pipe. Hydrous magnesium silicate.

[@timmccrory7630]

Does anybody notice the name of Laura has been changed to Laurie ?

[@Jesuslovesyouyou]

Jesus is the King of kings and Lord of lords, and everyone will bow on their knees and say it on the last day, no matter what. Jesus loves you so so much and wants to save you from this world and eternal suffering in hell. He will bring peace and joy that is unexplainable and beautiful. Pray to Him and surrender to Him, ask Him to change you and give you faith and trust and He will, God never turns away a true prayer. Romans 10.9 Romans 8.38-39 I love you, Jesus our God loves you more. ❤ ❤ ❤

25:44 "Richard Deacon as Jon Silo" Who the heck was Jon Silo?!? Wasn't he already called "Mel Cooley" by now?

[@garyfrancis6193]

Look into credits from other episodes from this time. This I episode 10. What names is he listed as in earlier spisodes? It’s like the credits hsd been produced be for the episodes were shot and some where as they shot the oisodes they changed his name to Mel Cooley. It’s like they never call Laura “Laurie” after Season One.

[@LoneWombat2126]

Is it just me or is this the first or only episode where he refers to Laura as “Laurie”?

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

That struck me as odd, too. Never heard him say it before. This is just the 10th episode, maybe the nickname was something they tried out for one show but decided afterward not to continue with it.

[@joymechell277]

I’m the first episodes of season one her referred to her as Laurie . I think it’s a sweet nickname

[@MrGlobaldave1]

Now that I'm re-visiting these shows (after many, many years) - that was something I just caught as well. Always remembered MTM as Laura. The earlier season used Laurie. The sometimes "strong" behavior" of Robb was also something I did not remember.... .. I guess that was normal back in those days.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@MrGlobaldave1 Yup, I watched this show a lot as a kid in the '70s, and I too do not remember Rob being as forceful as he appears now. His strong behavior is not inappropriate, IMO, just something I didn't pick up on for some reason when I was a kid.

[@micahbush5397]

10:32 Clearly the writers didn't ask Mary Tyler Moore what her weight was, because 112 pounds is anorexia-level underweight for a 5'7" woman.

[@preetakumar6593]

She does look quite thin, though. In those days it was much easier to be slim and keep off the weight, because there were fewer appliances and devices.

[@micahbush5397]

@@preetakumar6593 Even so, a BMI of 17.5 would still have been considered unhealthy at that time, and she doesn't look THAT thin.

She could be 112, I wouldn't be suprised tbh. I was 114Ibs senior year of highschool at 5'7" without trying. It could honestly be the case she had a high metabolism and at the time this was filmed food culture was very different, less sugar and less processed food.

[@nsme1965]

@@MrMenefrego1 Mobile phones did not exist. For entertainment, apart from TV sets, you had to go out. Work from home was not a concept, neither was online shopping. If you wanted to make a call, you had to dial the telephone, instead of sitting anyplace and calling. If you were not at a place with a telephone you had to run to the phone booth. And since each call cost an amount, it was preferable to go and speak personally. Just a few examples.

[@HansDelbruck53]

The title is wrong. It's Meershatz, not Meershaltz Pipe. There's no L in the word.

[@jb6712]

It was a COMEDY. Back in the 1950s and 60s, it was illegal to do product placement, so real names of real things couldn't be used within the tv shows. The names would be close enough to get the reference across without breaking the law and using real names.

[@saran3214]

That isn't even the word. It's Meerschaum Pipe.

Last I checked I don't think unsecured is a swear word of any kind which if it's not a swear word that it's not wrong for him to know the word I mean I don't know what it was like in the 60s and stuff so they had their beliefs but still I don't think unsecured is a bad word 😂

[@ShalmendoGlineux]

lol it's not. The reactions were based on a child of that age knowing an advanced term like insecure, and understanding what it meant to apply it to this situation.

[@lynettepalecek3141]

When I was 7 years old, I was an avid reader. I would spend 2 hours a day reading "Winnie the Pooh" and nursery rhymes. I had the nickname Poony. I'm surprised that Richie's parents don't encourage Richie to read the stories to himself.

[@chereecargill355]

Why is he calling her "Laurie"?

[@janetfreedom5437]

In the first season or so Rob occasionally called Laura "Laurie." Maybe the producers thought it kind of patronizing because in a later episode Rob makes a specific point of correcting some pompous character who calls her Laurie.

[@nsme1965]

Nothing but a nickname, an endearment. Why in the world do people question everything to absolute death?

Why do some people feel the need to lecture and criticize other people's posts, when all they have to do is ignore the topic if the subject seems trivial or uninteresting to them? I imagine such individuals have a lot of PEP, that is, they are Pompous, Egocentric and Patronizing.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

That's why I read through the comments. It wasn't the only time in Season 1. Thanks, Janet, I do remember one time Rob correcting someone but don't remember all the details. Hopefully j b won't take offense that I made a comment.

I think they realized he had no talent. Plus, Rob and Laura didn't really need him. Their lives pretty much revolved around their work, social life etc. Richie was there only to prove they were "normal," in 1960's terms.

[@capacola262743]

@@janetfreedom5437 i agree. it would have been a better show without him. it would have made way more sense to have him be born after 4 seasons or so. then they could have done all the pregnancy jokes and the "rob is too much of a retard to get laura to the hospital when the time comes etc." like they did on SO MANY other shows (i love lucy, all in the family, the flintstones etc.).

[@cameronkrause4712]

richie is so one dimensional. It's not the actor's fault as he started when he was far to young to add anything of his own to the part.
