Think about this. There was Mary Tyler Moore as the 'star' and the continuing supporting cast included Ed Asner, Gavin MacLeod, Ted Knight, Cloris Leachman, Valerie Harper, and the late addition of Betty White. And every one of those SIX supporting characters went on to headline or equal co-star in a future TV series each of which lasted at least 2 years, usually more. Name me one other show that had such a large AND strong supporting cast that were considered able to carry their own shows...and did! Yes MASH, Seinfeld and Friends were all great comedies, but none had as many successful spin-offs, or that kind of supporting cast on their own to accomplish such a feat. (spin-offs: Asner -Lou Grant (5 years), Harper-Rhoda(4+ years), Leachman-Phyllis (2 years); non spin-offs: MacLeod-Love Boat (10 years), White-Golden Girls (7 years)& Hot in Cleveland(5 years), Knight-Too Close for Comfort (3 years)). Not only were they all talented, but the MTM production staff was able to find them and make excellent use of all of them

Wouldn't call Friends a great comedy, it's so overrated. But, the only other shows that I can think of that had a supporting cast so strong that they went on to carry their own shows that at least went 2 years or more were The Steve Harvey Show and Taxi which even had a few that went beyond television and would become movie stars like Danny Devito and Christopher Lloyd.

Heck, Jerry co wrote for the show for a lot of episodes and in the first one he wrote a producer told him "You know, Jerry the show is called Seinfeld, you can put yourself in it." Lol! He so enjoyed writing for his co stars that he completely forgot to give himself any lines. Since when does that happen?

Looking back, one always yearns for good old days that didn't exist.

@@harrymills2770 I have to agree. Media censorship actually started by a Reverend from Missouri Donald Wildmon who formed the American Family Association which still exists today. Back in those days it was the religious right, but I am alarmed to see the left adopting cancel culture. The American Family Association boycotted Sears endorsement of All In The Family, Charlie's Angels, and Three's Company and tried to get ABC to take them off the air. They succeeded with Sears pulling sponsorship. They tried the same thing with Married With Children. They felt that more religious programming should be on television, so they lobbied Reagan's FCC to repeal the Fairness Doctrine which gave to the rise of televangelists in the 80's. Ownership deregulation and the media monopoly has made the problem much worse, because now instead of independent affiliates you have one corporation that control the entire network. That was Bill Clinton who lifted ownership rules and allowed cable companies to buy up our over the air networks. I'm making a documentary about this. It's really fascinating stuff.

Many of us kids at heart did as well.

Ol' Man River --- hilarious!! Not that the other out takes weren't funny, but that was so unexpected.

So cool, grew up with MTM , nice to go backstage .

The Old Man River bit is the best!

0:26 Now that was funny! We love you Mary! You made it after all.

Great bloopers. Love this show.

Never seen these outtakes. I want more Yiddish Old Man River!

Mary Tyler Moore - the queen of television! She was on two of the greatest (and most beloved) sitcoms in TV history. First, The Dick Van Dyke Show and later, the star of The Mary Tyler Moore Show (the greatest sitcom of all time IMHO). And she was so gorgeous and lovable!

The story goes that they originally wanted Mary to be a divorcee not just a broken engagement....but CBS was legitimately concerned that viewers would think that she left Rob Petrie.

What memories, thank you for this post. 👍.

That "Old Man River" was hilarious. :)

I loved this show and always will.

The best of the best. What a cast.

Gavin MacLeod was great as Murray

He was excellent. It was weird to see him as a bank robber in Andy Griffith Show.
