I love Phyllis's dress in this show. Maybe a bit short for a lady her age. But those were the times and she did have great legs. Compared to today, people seemed to really make more of an effort to look nice even on a normal weekday. MTM is my favorite sitcom of all time. I agree with "calalilygirl" here when she said you just felt like these people were part of your family. Very true. I watch MTM and the Odd couple everynight on MeTv.

Phyllis has a great caboose--and great legs.

This show makes you feel great, just like you're part of a big family. And that apartment she had was awesome. The furniture, the windows, kitchen....Everything.

the 70's were a time women realized they ran the world. Are needs, desires, and pleasure are just as important and need to be expressed just like the mens. women started having sex with more men, we had the right to choose birth control, we could express ourselvs with our clothes, because we WANTED TO BE HEARD!!

lou was right. she does have a great caboose.

[GialloHorror]

@knight6 LOL! She doesn't have a caboose at all.

Great analysis, fromthesidelines. And it was also documented in "Love Is All Around" (a book about the show) and MTM's autobiography "After All" that Ted Knight went to the producers (Jim Brooks & Alan Burns) very upset & in tears during the show's third season saying he wanted to leave because he couldn't stand playing that idiotic character anymore. Hence the introduction of Georgette, who would be pivotal in showing Ted's more lovable side.

You can tell what kind of character Ted Baxter is right off the bat when he acts pompous in front of Mary, gets reprimanded by Lou Grant (again) for mispronouncing certain words on his newscast, and is the kind of jerk who DOES wear a make-up bib on the air. A few years down the road, Ted will appear more "human", but he's pretty much established as an "idiot" here {and a lovable one at that!}.
