This is so good quality for 1977!!!

Howd you get it?

Do you have a quality clearity thing? :)

[JAldridge86]

@LuigiDude1808 Thanks! A friend sent me this clip. I think she got the episode from someone who actually recorded it in 1977. V-Matic or Betamax I am guessing.

@JAldridge86 Correction, U-matic.

I've never seen the curtain call. Unbelievable! I don't mean to be greedy, but do you have a higher quality version?

[JAldridge86]

I wish I did, this was sent to me by another fan from it's original 1977 airing. It looks pretty good from a recording over thirty years old. :)

How strangely wonderful to see something on YouTube that you haven't seen in more than 30 years!

[curb1510]

Fantastic that you posted this. Power-house cast.

@JAldridge86 Stop worrying, since the final DVD came out last year!!! :'-D

[powerghost216]

This is one show that will carry on into 2012, and beyond!!

@JcbsebrighRIP seriously?

[utbob2010]

34 years later and I still get a lump in my throat when I see this episode. The best damn tv series ever.

It truly was the best time in my life and this show was so much part it.

Thank you WJM

Robby Rist appears in Mary Tyler Moore and the show ends. Curse you Cousin Oliver!!!

The greatest sitcom ever. Sure there were other great ones - but something about this ensemble that inspired laughter, love, loyalty like no other. 34 years ago it ended - and I remember it like it was yesterday. Thank you for posting.

NBC-TV Sanford & Son ended with a routine episode with no big good-bye that same year[1976-77] Maude ended witha 3 part episode the next year[1977-78]then everybody joined the farewell episode bandwagon .

[joepod]

Wow...Betty White was old back in 1977!

TV sucks now!!! Hahaha.

Well not all of it. There are no more great tv themes. There aren't even any opening or closing credits. They squeeze everything in and move on to the next show.
