Lunch Break Video: It’s finally here! The debut of Mary Tyler Moore Show Mondays!

The first thing to need to know is that during the first season of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Mary wore a wig!

Just a little trivia to kick off this new Greg In Hollywood weekly feature: Mary Tyler Moore Mondays!

It seems like a natural to start with a clip from the very first episode of this great comedy classic that ran on CBS from 1970-77.

The premiere has Mary, new to Minneapolis after surviving a broken engagement.

She finds herself in the WJM newsroom interviewing for a job with the station’s gruff producer Lou Grant played by the great Ed Asner.
