Love all your stories. The golden age of television was amazing! I remember all my family gathering around the TV and enjoying all the shows!!! I do enjoy computers and cell phones but that era of my life was just the best and I wished all of today’s youth could just have experienced that!!! My how innocent it was…
This is poorly done and of almost no value. First, not bothering to mention Mary Tyler Moore's role as Laura Petrie on THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW is to leave out a major moment in her career. Your video says "when she was cast" as Mary Richards on THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW, but that show happened because she and her husband, Grant Tinker, pitched the idea for a show to CBS that would center around Moore as the star (your implication is that the show was developed and then many actresses auditioned with Moore being cast - completely untrue). Next, you leave off going into detail about Valerie Harper, Cloris Leachman, Betty White and Georgia Engel, but cover the careers of Ed Asner, Ted Knight and Gavin McCloud. This misses the spirit of THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW which was heavily focused on the female characters and their experience in the rapidly changing landscape of the 1970s. And how many times are you going to use the word "iconic"? Also, the Bot narration is off-putting and tiresome.
