The Mary Tyler Moore Hour feat. Dick Van Dyke (Part 1)

[@MrMenefrego1]

I really don't recall this program, but it's sure wonderful to see them together again!

[@Jackie371]

Thanks for putting this on here! Fun to see the old commercials, like Friskies. :)

[@trapper721]

WOW!! mary sings awsome!!!

[@Ar7wen]

I love watching these old commercials. Everything before the computer age and cable TV etc. is like watching a different civilization-even though I remember living through it, you forget how different it was.....funny how we have hundreds of channels now and most of it is worthless commercials, reality shows, and endless reruns of movies......

[@fredmax9796]

And here I thought I was the only one. I have old recorded TV movies recorded on VHS and the commercials are strange to watch.

[@Diane_L]

Mary Tyler Moore looks fantastic here. For goodness sakes, we're seeing 1979 commercials - haha!

[@cScottD]

This is basically Mary as Alan Brady!

[@debco12]

Thank you for posting this. I remember this when it first aired and long despaired of ever seeing it again. The video quality is also exceptional. Great job!

[@ThisIsAnika57]

I just can't really accept the fact that Dick and Mary were never married. Its just sad.. they were like perfect for each other. Despite the age difference they are just perfect for each other.

[@brendastuart194]

A little trivia; According to both of them, there was a lot of attraction between them. Had they not been married already they would have likely gotten involved.

[@nickhill8612]

@@brendastuart194 That's interesting. Was this show after the Carol Burnett ended?

[@fromthesidelines]

Yes.

[@RonAlbaneseEntertainment]

Just learned of this show, and am enjoying! Very cool! One thing, though - the same premise (show within a show) was used for the Brady Bunch Hour, which is always cited as the worst TV ever ... I find it kind of ... groovy!

[@HarveyBacktheBeatles]

is it just me or is this one of the first 1 hour multicamera sitcoms.

[@Firegirlable]

Very nice

[@fromthesidelines]

Originally telecast on March 25, 1979.

[@kymarcin]

You know, some of those homes could be in danger if the winds shift....

[@kathybuck411]

It's not real. Lol

[@tjames9698]

Variety shows were absolutely dying by this time.

[@jedijones]

And now we know why.

[@teeboz31222]

"Mary, don't" Ruby, haha. "However the situation may change if the wind shifts". lol

[@horarwgt]

Oddly enough, Mary Tyler Moore never vut a record -- either an album or a single. Her only singing performance ever issued on a record was a stage performance illegally recorded by an audience member and issued on a bootleg LP.

[@staceyk282]

where can you watch the other episodes or where can you buy it I want to watch the rest

[@maineindividual5202]

She was far prettier with long hair. Why didnt they come up with an original opening theme instead of using the one from her previous series?

[@lenwelch2195]

She can sing

[@jedijones]

Oof, that writing is one step up from dead air.

[@hipsterdoofus1026]

It’s like they were using The Bob Newhart Show as their source

[@mstewart61]

Great variety hour it just came on when the genre was not as good. I love Mary's hairstyle in this show.

[@adamdicy]

Is it me or do i see a similarity between The Mary McKinley Show and the Alan Brady show...lol.

[@fromthesidelines]

"McKinnon" was her fictional alter ego on the show.

[@jedijones]

@@fromthesidelines Was it a show about nothing?

[@fromthesidelines]

Ultimately, it was. Mary tried to be a combination of Carol Burnett and a female Jack Benny- and it didn't work.

[@titanictinker2832]

❤️👍

[@fredricardo3272]

I love Mary Tyler Moore and I remember trying to watch it then thinking this is pretty bad. All these years later it’s still pretty bad; not awful like “Life with Lucy” but still very bad.

[@julie11061]

@trapper721 I'm pretty sure she was on broadway before she began a serious television/movie career but if you watch the Dick Van Dyke show they do some really pretty duets in that :) I LOVE Mary's voice :D

[@yeshualionofjudah7107]

I used bounce on my underwear two weeks ago and they still smell fresh.

[@kathybuck411]

🤣🤣

[@jedijones]

I love the smell of underwear in the morning.

[@tomsampson8084]

I love Mary and Dick but this was a bad show that only lasted half a season.

[@terentii]

@ShadyPines7 The bits with Rob and Laura Petrie are good, but the overall level of writing sucks. It's amazing how quickly American TV went downhill in the '70s; the early '80s ("Hill St. Blues," "St. Elsewhere," the first six or seven years of "Cheers," etc.) were sort of a last blaze of glory.... :-(

[@jedijones]

Some of the best sitcoms ever made came out in the 1990s. Seinfeld, Simpsons, Newsradio...

[@kathybuck411]

In my opinion, she did better here than in her show with Mary as a news caster.

[@liverneck2001]

She gave up her sit com for this????? wow.

[@CAPrice-hy2gh]

It was CBS decision to cancel Mary Tyler Moore Show..CBS to got her into a contract with Mary Tyler Moore Hour.

[@CaptainSpalding72]

No it wasnt, she ended her sitcom on her own....

[@jedijones]

@@CaptainSpalding72 No, she told Bob Costas she didn't want it to end. She said the writers decided to end it.

[@AnnieBe65]

I love MTM. And I loved both sitcoms, but I had never even heard of this show! The previous shows were just too hard an act to follow. This show is awful.

[@kathybuck411]

I like Mary in this show. She's experienced here. Her very long show, she acted like she was trying too hard to act. In here, she's got it all together.

[@richparsons4205]

This has got to be the “Mandela Effect”. In my reality, “The Mary Tyler Moore Hour” did not exist. MTM only did movies after her Mary Tyler Moore Show.

[@julie11061]

@defundthewar I suppose I don't like the MTM show quite as much just because I'm madly in love with DVD and I wanted them to get married in real life but yeah, the work they did there was fantastic

[@dav1237]

@defundthewar I agree! I wanted to hear the whole song and they kept talking over it.

[@kduideo]

Sort of like the BRADY BUNCH HOUR!

[@jedijones]

They're having a special GHOST tonight...

[@Ar7wen]

I know she seemed to always want to be a dancer, and I guess a singer too....but she was really good at comedy and as an actress as well. Her singing isn't bad but somehow it feels embarassing and uncomfortable.....a device to throw her singing in there yada yada....oh boy, this just doesn't work, does it? I like her haircut. This sure feels fake, doesn't it?

[@vAIERIEHARPER121]

Whats Was Going On With Her Hair LOL. :)

[@RosePetal17]

Trying to hard.

[@julie11061]

@defundthewar wow, i think I've heard about the Breakfast at Tiffany's thing but yeah, she sure had a lot of potential but i think she peaked in the Dick Van Dyke Show

[@delcodave]

the maid is incredibly annoying. not surprised the show got cancelled.

[@travisjames3517]

So bad.
