@somewhatlongdong Im only 32 and I know all about the MTM show. Even though I preferred her on Dick Van Dyke, I watched re-runs as a kid on Nick@ Nite.
@Den42031 Vocalist / Musician extraordinaire Sonny Curtis. Sonny also wrote "More Than I Can Say" ( a hit for Leo Sayer) and "I Fought the Law" (performed into a hit by the Bobby Fuller Four). Sonny is 73 and still records, writes and performs to this day.
@LACraig621 I'm under 40 by many, many years and I wish we could have great TV shows like these from yesteryear back. Much better than the sleaze and stupidity on TV today. It is such a shame that so many of my generation today love these stupid nonsense shows like Jersey Shore and Family Guy. No wonder our nation is going down the tubes.
Amen, I thank God that I am old. I'm a child of the 50's and grew up with the classics such as I Love Lucy, Gunsmoke, The Honeymooners, All In The Family, MASH, and Mary Tyler Moore. The TV today is trash, maybe it's because in the '50's and '60's people actually had moral values and ate supper together, Hmmm...???
On my facebook page, I have been saluting the music since the spring that made up the first year I rode a bicycle back in Nov. 1969 to Nov. 1970 (when I was 6 years old: I retook up riding a bike for the first time since Oct. 1997 back in March of this year), & right now for the upcoming fall season I'm going back to that time frame & sharing the TV themes that I remembered & loved. This by far is my favorite of those, still remember at 6 seeing the first episode on Sept. 19, 1970 & then
@sneezyize singing this tune the day afterwards while riding my bike. Instantly fell in love with the show as well from that first watching, & whenever I was at home on a Saturday night -- you'd know I was waiting for Mary and company to come on the television. Very fond memories. (I did meet Valerie Harper, Rhoda, back in November 1992 when Harper came to the Tampa Bay area to campaign for a Congressional candidate I was supporting. One of the questions I asked her is if Mary knew how
@sneezyize many people loved her and sort of adopted her into their own families -- and well as the rest of the cast, including Valerie. Valerie said, yeah, Mary and the rest of them knew and were so thrilled that someone so young, as I was, recognized that.)
Hello, friend! very cool your channel parabens, took a pretty fantastic music (10) ********** star to shine with you that wonderful gift from God adquerido friend. A big hug and stay here in BRAZIL with God so that he illuminates his journey ahead beautiful friend. Juvenile .... Att.
I notice at .26 the guy wanted to sneak a kiss on Mary but in those days people were more discreet. Mary did not allow him to kiss her. Those were the decent and good old days I miss them so much!!!!!!
Man... she's HOT! You know... when they were still airing the "Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles" show in FOX, I kept telling people how actress Summer Glau (the female Terminator robot) looked so much like a then 20-30 year-old Mary Tyler Moore.
This is my song. Meir dedicated it to me several years ago. I have the first season too. I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like to be so happy and excited by life that you flip out and fling your hat up in the air. I agree with my fellow southern commenter below - it looks like a normal hairdo to me too. It's a little stacked, but well within a reasonable range. I disagree with the commentor who says the lady is scowling at Mary. I think she is just perplexed by Mary.
I love MJM, A little girl from Brooklyn that became the 70s icon for beautiful career girls with grace and optimisim. A real hero to us all (especially the other little girls from Brooklyn)
Everyone always makes such a big deal about the woman that scowls at mary while she's tossing her hat but no one ever pays any mind to the woman with the 10 foot hairdo that walks behind mary at the exact same moment...
Saw this on my buddy Troy's favorites, a wonderful song.Great actress, great character, such hope and optimism in the tone of the song.........
There aren't that many real ladies out there anymore, but MTM was one ! ! ! !
I'm glad Troy pointed out the 10' hairdo - I grew up in the south and it just looked like an ordinary hairdo to me ! ! ! Had to be careful around ceiling fans, though......
haha no definitely not. she was just a random lady walking around Nicolette ave and just happened to pass in the shot. Years later she was interviewed in the newspaper for her 'scowl'. She said that she wasn't scowling in anger, but she was terrified the 'young lady' would be run over.
Thanks for clearing that up. I Googled it and found out the "scowling" lady's name is Hazel Frederick and you are correct she just happened to be shopping on her day off and got into TV history forever by accident. Thanks for your quick reply, TroySundt...

Very clear.
Classic opening.
And she looked good here in Season 1, even better than the later seasons.
(Although I do like the SONG of the later seasons better, she LOOKS better HERE.)
Do you have the CLOSING theme, to Season 1?

I loved how the theme song at the beginning was "how will you make it on your own", and later it changed to "you're going to make it after all"
Still, after some 40 years, the most inspiring opening to a TV show
