My wife can, that's who. Here she is in downtown Minneapolis where 70s protofeminist Mary Richards raised the bar, and the hats, for professional ladies across the country. Yes, it's TV Land's Mary Richards statue.
Love is all around, Gwendolyn. C'mon, girl...
Yeah, that's right!
One of the most acclaimed television shows of all time, and frequently named the greatest sitcom, The Mary Tyler Moore Show defined the era of ERA. I wouldn't have noticed this statue, as I walked right by it, until Gwen said, "Hey, there's Mary Tyler Moore". Turning, I saw it and remembered reading about the dedication a few years back. I recall the Ralph Kramden Honeymooners statue outside of the Port Authority in New York City. I used to see that one a lot in Manhattan. (I bought it a few drinks, actually.)
MTM First Season credits
MTM later season(s) credits. Notice the optimistic change in the last verse from "You might just make it after all" to "You're gonna make it after all". The 70s did seem full of hope at some point, I suppose. And how about that Fran Tarkenton jersey? And those pantsuits? Jesus. Did snow blindness bring those on?
