Lunch Break Video: Scenes from The Mary Tyler Moore Show’s “Not Another Christmas Story” episode
I know that it’s the day after Christmas but my English friend Lorna tells me that today is Boxing Day, a holiday for servants who have spent Dec. 25 working. They get Dec. 26 off and received gifts from their employer.
So, in honor of Boxing Day, I present to you some scenes from the “Not Another Christmas Day” episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show. I believe this is from the show’s seventh and final season and has the WJM gang stranded at the TV station due to a snow storm.
They spend the holiday on the set of Sue Ann Nivens’ (played to perfection by Betty White) TV show and she seems to be the only one who’s happy about it!

Actually, this was from the fifth season, and may have been a TV first. As explained in the episode, Sue Ann was pretaping her Christmas show, so this “Christmas” episode of MTM aired on November 9, 1974. How’s that for bucking tradition?
