    What strikes me about this scene is the pacing. I love that the actresses are given the time and space to explore the scene and add so many lovely grace notes -- gestures, pauses, and facial expressions. Nothing is rushed; it all unfolds in the most elegant manner.

      Leachman says in interview director calmed her down by congratulating her on her work NONE of which was caught on camera because she didn't hit ANY of her marks, obviously she learned because she worked for decades. Harper came from theatre & credits Moore with teaching her how to play to camera.

    I love how this scene typifies the way Ms. Leachman made Phyllis Lindstrom relatable and aloof at the same time. This character was like a grown-up Mean Girl, and was often at odds with her tenants Mary Richards and Rhoda Morganstern, both of whom she kept at arms' length while occasionally letting them into her feelings. A complex character, played by a great comic actress who always made her funny, like in that take between lines where she eats some of the pie. She was wonderful in other projects as well, but the Mary Tyler Moore Show is where I first discovered her. RIP Cloris Leachman.

    A fantastic study in character-based comedy - Mary trying to be supportive, even to the point of hiding her revulsion at the taste of the pie; Rhoda, even though always sparring with Phyllis, feels sorry for her and heaps fake praise on the pie; and Phyllis, recognizing that even Rhoda has taken pity on her and confesses the problems in her marriage but, being Phyllis, laughably claims she's "partially" to blame because she's "too much woman". Brilliantly written and acted.

      THis was a great episode because it also included the brilliant Betty White, but I would say the Chuckles the Clown episode was funnier, and the episode where Mary Richards wanted to perform "One for my Baby" at an awards show and tries it out for Mr. Grant, singing the torch song the way innocent sweet Mary would sing it. Moore and Asner were brilliantly funny in that one.

And, yes, she was well known for wanting the very best COMEDY--even when that meant giving the funny lines to someone else. So during table reads and rehearsal week, she'd often "hint" that a line might be funnier if someone else delivered it--and naturally the writers and cast obliged her.

    Cloris Leachman is at her best here. Brilliant and funny portrayal of a pretentious person whose insecurities come shining through despite her histrionic, flowery exterior.

      Totally agree. Even though the Phyllis spinoff pretty much failed, the pilot episode is another great example of Cloris' brilliance in that role. I still watch it on YT when I need a laugh!

    What a classic! RUclips is amazing: Just the other day, I was listening to some Chopin, and I thought of Phyllis's words about "my lovely hands, that once touched the notes of Chopin" -- and today, here it is in my list of suggestions! It's like it's psychic, or something...

      Cloris played a whole different role in the lead of a One Step Beyond episode in the late 50s, already over 30 years old. A few years later Cloris played "Mrs. Fremont" in the original Twilight Zone and 40 years later played the same character in an updated version.

    The best scene from the best episode of the series. You can see Cloris very nearly missed the line "I'm just too much of a real woman" as she had started to react to the pie before pulling back and delivering the line.

    I must admit, i really watched Rhoda if at all. However seeing Cloris Leachman in that role made her a very good actress. I remember watching Young Frankenstein. She was Frau Blücher. She played that character very well. I was hoping She would have had a bigger role in American Gods but she was killed off possibly because of her age and health. Rip Cloris aka Frau Blücher as I lovingly hear the horses neigh
