- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- Tour the apartments from The Mary Tyler Moore Show - both Mary's and Rhoda's. Mary's apartment is in a classic Queen Anne Victorian house is an example of great set design. You'll see the apartments as if they were real homes, with ceilings and all 4 walls. Along the way we'll learn the principles of great design that you can apply to your own home.
We'll go behind the scenes of this classic 70s TV show set in Minneapolis starring Mary Tyler Moore as Mary Richards and Valerie Harper as Rhoda Morgenstern, Cloris Leachman as Phyllis Linstrom, Ed Asner as Lou Grant, Gavin MacLeod as Murray Slaughter, Betty White as Sue Ann Nivens and Ted Knight as Ted Baxter. I'll also point out some of the bloopers from The Mary Tyler Moore Show set design.

Mary Richards was the coolest. She wasn't a TV mom she was a TV woman. She had a car a job lots of dates a wicked neat apartment. This is wonderful. Thanks.
She must have been a role model for a lot of people, judging by the comments here. 😊

Our last name is Morgenstern, and you better believe that when we got our puppy we named her Rhoda! Great video!!!!
Love it! 🐕

thank you for this! When the first season came on the air, I loved the yellow wicker chair, so my mom suggested I write to the set decorator. He was kind enough to answer my letter and told me where they purchased it. Lucky for me (and my dad's convertable car!) we went to the Los Angeles store Rappaport, and the salesman told me yes, there were two chairs originally, the designer bought one, and I got the other! Many years later, I gave it to my niece, with the strict instructions "mary's chair" is to stay in the family!
Oh my goodness! I wish I could have interviewed the set designers. I wish he was still around.. I checked when making this episode. How smart of you to write and ask back then. Thanks for sharing your story.

Did Rhoda have a kitchen? I think I missed it!
She had a hot plate . @@violetsprings470
That is a great story. You were lucky to get that chair.
I'm a guy and I grew up watching this show and loving it, and I get weirdly choked up seeing this apartment in such detail. I don't know why, maybe because being a little kid in the 70's is something I look back on so fondly.
I love hearing this. Thanks for sharing. I always hope my tour will bring back fond memories. They always do for me.

Same here, brother. Just seeing Mary's place takes me back to a simple, carefree time (I was 6 when the show debuted)
Rhoda's apartment always reminded me a little bit of the inside of Jeannie's bottle. Full bright colors and similarly shaped. Sad to think that so many of the cast are now gone. We do still have Dick Van Dyke ❤ This made my day!
I loved her apartment so much. Just 2 years ago while visiting my aunt in Minneapolis, we found the actual house that they filmed the outside from. It has changed some but still a grande home. I was in awe and took so many photos as it was one of my favorite shows and I loved her kitchen as small as it was it was cute.
😊
....That home was for Sale, at various times ,and it was q u i te Pricey. ... in 2017, it was listed for 1.65 Million ... it was built in the 1900's and its a really large Home...I think around 9,000 + square feet.
If Mary Tyler Moore and Valerie Harper be alive today, they would have been proud.
😊
Mary’s apartment was ICONIC and felt more fabulous and upscale than it was.
It was swoon-worthy for sure.
Love what you did with this! So true that design is personal and tells a story. The Victorian vibe crossing over with the 70s is sort of Bohemian but tells the story perfectly! Great point about scale being slightly larger. Too bad not so as often in real life. You made Mary’s apartment even more beautiful! Thanks!!
You showed that you can have just a little bit to use but still make it fabulous.
Mary's apartment was my dream home for years and years. Honestly, it still is!! Thanks so much for this.
Yep. I get it! I love this apartment.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane I loved her apartment too. My own home reflects exactly who I am. I am a single (divorced) mom, my son moved out ten years ago but lives nearby. I can do what I want to it and I think that is one reason Mary's place appealed to so many of us women. It was hers, she didn't share it with a man.
@@joane.3533 I agree. It was a big part of the appeal. Someone on their own, doing things their way.

I think it’s interesting how we’ve sort of harkened back to a Mary Richards way of life, in that the average apartment in a modern high rise is very small and as Mary did, utilizing space is crucial.
This show was such a classic. One of the best TV sets of all time. The Saturday night CBS lineup was epic in the 1970s. I would love to see you do The Bob Newhart Show.
You're in luck. I'll be releasing a tour of The Bob Newhart Show apartment in September in time for the show's 50th anniversary.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane THANK YOU A MILLION!!! I can't wait to see that beautiful apartment in your capable hands! You! Are! BRILLIANT!!!
@@Snapepet Thank you. I can't wait to explore all the parts we rarely saw. And I'm curious about the sq. ft. I'm guessing it's much larger than it appears on camera.
That’s awesome…I wanted to live in that apartment.
Which one? He had 3 shows.
Excellent video! Enjoyed it!
I saw Mary Tyler Moore once, in person.
It was many years ago, I think around 1979. I was walking by the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. And there was Mary! She was walking a little dog 🐕 on a leash outside the hotel. She was shorter in person than I imagined. I SO wanted to say hello and ask for her autograph, but I couldn't get up the nerve and I really didn't want to bother her.
We all miss Mary, so much!
How fun that you got to see her in real life!
Oh, what memories! Mary made all of us believe we could make it after all. As always, you did a fabulous job! Thank you for your wonderful work - these iconic designs would be lost to history if not for you. Much Love - Nona
Thank you! It's definitely a labor of love on my part.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane It shows that you love your work!!
Rhoda's apt SCREAMED the 70's!
😊
You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: ruclips.net/user/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
Mary's apartment didn't exactly whisper the 70's, itself! 😂 With the sunken living room and plush (almost shag) carpeting of mustard yellow and brown. And the olive walls. (I think the simulation modernized it a little bit by removing the carpeting and replacing it with what looks like hardwood or hard vynle flooring?) In any case, Mary's apartment was chic- but definitely 70's chic.
Come to think of it, I think Rhoda's apartment screamed the 60's! With all the day glow colors.
I know a lot of people still decorated with day-glow colors in the 70's (Especially hot pink and shocking orange)... but I think that was a holdover from the 60's.
Rhoda's aesthetic didn't fully join the neutral tones of the 70's until she got married, moved to New York, and got her own show.
I'm really geeking out on this! 🤓😂 I just love that whole era of my early childhood and this subject makes me happy! ❤
That Girl, I would like to see her apartment.
I am absolutely doing to do that apartment someday. I loved that show!

I am 57. I watched the entire series first run. Those Saturday nights at my grandparents house is/was/and will always be so magical to me with MTMS, Newhart, Burnette.
I am so thankful to have enjoyed so much time with so many in my family, neighbors...from the "Greatest Generation." I miss all of them so deeply.
Sounds like you had a wonderful childhood. ❣️
I have made many other homes too. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: ruclips.net/user/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane
I had severe abuse but my grandparents treated me like their son. I am thankful to this day for love, kindness and respect they gave me.
@@rick3747 I'm so glad you had that!
"Hiya, Mar'!" (like how Rhoda used to greet Mary, lol.) Marina, thanks so much for your time and talent in the making of all these videos. I'm an advertising creative director/copywriter who appreciates not only the set design imagery you create, but also your well written informative, nostalgic narrations. And it's hard to stump me on behind the scenes trivia, yet you always do. From one avid fan of classic shows to another - Great job. You rock! Please keep these comin'.
Thank you. I really appreciate the mention of the script, because it's something that seems like it shouldn't take long, but somehow always manages to.
I love how you've noticed details and pieces of "forgotten" furniture and have included them against the imaginary fourth wall. Very organic solutions. Great work! :)
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed this episode.

My all-time favorite show! When I was a little girl, I just knew I’d one day have an apartment just like Mary’s. And work for the news. I ended up with a journalism degree, but alas, no adorable apartment. I also realized I identify more with Rhoda now that I’m an adult🤷♀️ What a wonderful show and such memorable and likable characters!
Kudos to you for getting a journalism degree. Mary would be proud. 😊
Brilliant. I'm an old man and you made me cry. You completed a dream for so many of us, and your commentary is truly meaningful. I love that we have this shared experience, so many whose imaginations were sparked by what we didn't see as well as what we did. Thanks so much. Great work here.
Thanks for those comments. This was very touching to read. Comments like this are what keep me going.
I never thought of the closet going into the bathroom, I had always just thought the showrunners changed their mind on what was through that door. So great to see it all put together in such high quality, and I love all the included moments from the show!
Glad you enjoyed it.

No, you are not alone..I dreamed of being Mary and living in that beautiful apartment too! I love everything about that apt and to this day(I'm in my early 60's)I could live there:) This was an awesome episode! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it. Brings back so many memories for me as I make these tours. I'm glad it does for others too.
I'm the same age and I never missed an episode. My dad was a fan and got all of us our initials one Christmas. My "M" is still on display.
Same!
I always loved the step down into Mary's apartment as well as the built-in bookshelf. It is interesting how the set was changed over the seasons, but I never noticed. I wonder if the little wooden steps were an afterthought as the first season progressed giving the actors more options for movement? The progression from no steps to one that is permanently built in is a natural one.
This is such a familiar space, having grown up watching MTM every Saturday night. It felt like visiting the home of a childhood friend. Thanks for taking me on the tour.
Glad you enjoyed the tour. I bet you're right - they probably added the steps to help the actors move around.

@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane I'm sure that I have seen other house tours that you have done, but none touched me like Mary's apartment. And when I saw Mockingbird Lane as part of your channel's name, I knew there was another house to look for. Quite a difference between sweet Mary Richards and The Munster Family, though I think Mary and Marilyn had things in common. If you are an architect or interior designer and a vintage t.v. buff, this is a great way to combine your interests. Much appreciated.
@@nancypatricia511 😊
Thank you so much for this video! My heart skipped a beat when I saw the title of this episode. Another one I love is your recreation of the Parent Trap house. You've brought me hours of joy. Thank you so much!❤
Aw! Thank you. 😊
I absolutely loved this!! You are not alone in Mary being such an inspiration. The series took me from age 12 to age 19 and I fell in love with her character and apartment instantly! I decided that I wanted to be just like her and ended up putting myself through 4 years of nursing school with student loans and hard work. I had a series of 4 apartments and was single until the age of 36. I used all of the colors she had at the time in my first couple of apartments with brown, orange, yellow and olive green. I loved my life, my career and my independence and when I finally got married, I was truly ready! 😊
Oh, my - I love your story. Thanks for sharing.
I would love to see the apartments from the show Rhoda. It always fascinated me that they were all in the same building. Your videos are amazing and show how hard you work on them. I love watching your take on the 4th walls too.
Thank you! And thanks for the suggestion.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Absolutely -- I was obsessed with that show; definitely the first apartment she had with Joe.
I just love this! You did an incredible job. The Mary Tyler Moore Show is my all time favorite show and I loved her first apartment, so much
Glad you liked these tours.
I love your vidoes. Keep up with the great job you're doing.
@@cathybernard7933 Thank you! Glad you're enjoying them.
Yes Mary's second apartment what such a let-down, so generic! I think the whole show went down when Rhoda left!
@@kaynemccully5266 I wish she had not left. I still loved the show but there was nothing like those early years!
Mary Richards and Rhoda Morgenstern are icons.
I loved The Mary Tyler Moore Show when I was a kid. She was a huge inspiration to me. She was a working woman whose life never revolved around a man, her focus was her job and her relationships with her female friends, and I loved that. I always loved her apartment, and was very disappointed when Mary moved into the second apartment. To this day, I have a little wooden "etc." that is displayed on a shelf in my living room. That's my homage to the show, and reminds me to embrace my inner Mary and Rhoda.
Love it! Thanks for sharing.
I love that you have an "etc." I've had an "M" since the show was in prime time. I need an "etc."
I miss Mary and Valerie so much❤️
Great Work! I love the snow falling outside Mary's window. I love this apartment and still watch the episodes over and over again. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you liked the tours.

I had the privilege of seeing the entire cast at the 2007 SAG awards. A few years later I had a one on one visit with Valerie Harper. Valerie was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. I cherish my autographed photo of her. I also had the privilege of meeting Gavin MacLeod. His daughter was a school teacher in Monterey, CA. I worked at See's Candies in Monterey for 8 years before moving to Los Angeles in 2006. Whenever Gavin was in town, he would come into the shop where I worked. He, too, was a very friendly person. So were his wife and daughter, very down to earth people. Thank you for this clip. May the entire Mary Tyler Moore Show cast all rest in peace.
How lucky you were to meet so many of the cast. Thanks for sharing.

I know this doesn't qualify with your quality of work, but I have always wondered what the Flintstones House and the Jetsons Apartment really looked like. I would daydream about living in the Jetsons fabulous apartment. Would you ever consider doing that just for fun??
Definitely. I would love to try some cartoon homes someday.
I would like to see that too. Good idea.
Simpsons too!!!
:)
Constant conversation of my daughter and her best friend back in the day: Jenny: "I'm Mary and you're Rhoda" Haley "I'm Mary and you're Rhoda", back and forth. We all loved the show. Thanks for your work, so fun!
Yes! Everybody wanted a best friend like that.
My best friend and I like to borrow the "I'm the Mary, you're the Rhoda" line from Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion.
They fought over who was the Mary, but in our case my friend is the Mary and I'm the Rhoda....and we're both totally cool with that! 👌
BTW I've even heard Oprah say she had an "O" on her wall!
I love that line, too!
It was Oprah's favorite show and she received a "O" signed on the back by the whole cast when she had them on her show. What a treasure! ✨❤️✨
I vaguely remember this show from my childhood but I have no memory of Rhoda’s vibrant apt. Wow! What a colorful space! How could I forget that?? I’m impressed that she painted the exposed lath and plaster. I think it’s the unfinishedness of the walls that give it an attic feel to me.
As always thank you so much for your dedication to bringing us insight into iconic movie homes. It is truly a bright spot in my day to sit with you and hear your thoughts on the set itself as well as imaginings of the spaces we don’t have much information about.
I have an A on my office wall. I smile at how many of us have done that. ❤️
Thank you! Yes, I wonder how many people have their initial on the wall.
I had an "etc" on my wall.
I couldn't find letter M wall decor but I did find an M keychain made from sturdy leather. It must be from the 1980s or even late seventies and I still use it !
Fantastic work. Thank you. I will be visiting Minneapolis for the first time this summer and of course I will be driving by Mary's old apartment. I too have had an M on my wall since my first name is Mark. This may sound weird but I love that TV house interiors don't match the house exteriors. It kinda like they're from an alternate universe that has a different set of physical laws than ours universe. This is probably why I love your channel so much.
I love that idea! And, have fun at Mary's. It's on my bucket list to go there someday.
For me, I had an "etc" on my wall.
@@dianetheisen8664 😊
Yes I don't like Victorian architecture, but I sure loved Mary's apartment and Rodas!
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane I have photos of the actual house when I was there 2 years ago. If you like I could send the pictures from my computer if you have an email that is okay to share.
I too looked forward to every Saturday evening to see “Mary”. I would love to see The Jefferson’s uptown apartment and perhaps the Bunker’s house from the old neighborhood next door. What fun!
You're in luck. I've already finished The Jeffersons. And i have plans to do All in the Family. You can see The Jeffersons and all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: ruclips.net/user/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
This is fantastic! My mom loved the Mary Tyler Moore show and, since we had only one TV when I was growing up, we watched what our parents watched. I have been an interior designer for the past 35 years and, more than any other visual experience I had as a kid, Mary's apartment without a doubt birthed my own interest in interior design. I hadn't seen the set in years but remembered everything about it - from the stained glass "garage door" at the kitchen breakfast bar to the bookcase "step" to the M on the wall. Thank you so much for doing this! (As a side note, I even remembered thinking that the plaster weeping between the lath in Rhoda's apartment meant there was no insulation - a really bad idea considering Minneapolis winters :-).
How cool that the show inspired a future interior designer! I bet you are not alone. I also find it interesting that even as a child you noticed the plaster between the laths! You were born to be a designer. 😊
Hi! I'm so happy your channel was in my "recommendation"...I love it!
Watching Rhoda as a young girl inspired me to become a window dresser.
As a little girl, my parents would take us kids to see the Christmas display windows in our city's downtown. Back then, there were no malls...but every city had fabulous old department stores with huge windows. The windows displayed everything from fashion to animated Santa Claus, his elves, & a steamer model train.
When I saw those amazing displays, I wondered who designed all the detail & beauty? All I knew was that someday I would do that too. So when I saw the character "Rhoda" and heard the job-title "window-dresser"...From that day on, I called myself a window-dresser! Lol!
After high school, (college was never an option for me)...I just needed to get myself to a department store & do my thing! And that's exactly what I did!
I had no training. I had no experience...Not even a portfolio of pictures. What I had was confidence in my ability to do the work...I just knew it! In the beginning of my career, I sometimes would work for free...Just to get my foot in the door. Once I showed my skill, and my window displays = foot traffic & profit for the stores...Well my reputation was one of " Oh Dee Dee, she's the best!...Hire her immediately!" Eventually, I traveled all over the country designing displays for: department & specialty stores...and later, even airport shops. I even became a "visual display trainer"...(Training on the corporate level)
So you see, The Mary Tyler Moore Show is near & dear to my heart. I loved both their apartments...But to this day my home is sooooo inspired but Rhoda's bright, fun & whimsical space...(with just a bit more square footage. Lol!)
Sorry for the long comment...but I loved my work for 40+ years...it was a fabulous ride! Thank you so much for posting these 2 apartment who has inspired so many of us gals to dream (&) actually live our dreams. Peace friend. ❤💃 (BTW, As of tonight, I'm a new subscriber to your amazing channel🙂❤)
I love this so much! Thank you for sharing your story. You have gotten to live your dream. And what a fun career.
Your going to make it after all
Oh I forgot you have to toss your hat in the air
@@georgewilson1184 Oh friend, you made me giggle this beautiful Memorial day weekend! Enjoy your day!...and thank you!😄❤️
I loved this show. I had the etc letters like Rhoda had in her apartment. I loved what you did with the 4th wall in Mary’s apartment. It was a unique place with the entrance and book shelves and closet going to the bathroom. I was always curious about that bathroom. Surprised it was as large as you’ve shown. Thank You Marina. I love watching your work
Thank you. Glad you liked the tours.
I had the "etc" as well.
I was a senior in high school during the first season of the MTM show. I lived for the next episode. I, too, dreamed about the future patterned after MTM. So, all during college and beyond, the MTM show was the hightlight of the TV week. I still love all the reruns. I was truly heartbroken when she died. Was so use to MTM always in her 30's. Loved the apartment tour!
Glad you liked the tour. I wonder how many typing people that show and character inspired.
I have made many other homes too. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: ruclips.net/user/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
Ah yes! Her apartment was such a dream, I really enjoyed this video! I love the wonderful message of making design about our story. It’s so easy to see things we love and want them in our own life, as it becomes a personal connection. But it’s much more personal to make it about our story- something I want to try more going forward :)
Glad you enjoyed the video, especially the part about designing our homes to tell our stories! You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: ruclips.net/user/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber

As I always say, Great Job. The detail is amazing , even down to the show's font.
Thank you!
This is fantastic and the one thing I always liked about Mary’s apartment was the kitchen❤
And yes she was a role model of a decent lady, that’s independent and enjoying her journey…🌹😎
A WONDERFUL Memory lane❤
Your videos are the best for many reasons.
1) When watching videos on here or TikTok I notice the presenter gesturing wildly with their hands to emphasize every syllable as if they're conducting an orchestra, very distracting. You never do that.
2) Many presenters are "showing us" something, but end up focusing the camera on themselves half the time instead, arghhh. You focus on your actual presentation..
3) Many presenters go on and on about "OK, let's get right into it", then they keep talking and blabbing for another 5 minutes. You actually get right into it !
4) You really do your research, the still photos of the TV show, and your comments about items and actors in the photos, is amazing.
5) Your presentation is clear and cohesive and well thought out from start to finish.
Best of all, you help me to realize that I'm not the only one who "fantasizes" about all of these sets, it really is a fascinating topic and you do a brilliant job bringing it all together for us.
Thank you for sharing your talents with us, great great job !!
Thank you so much. You made my day. 😊
11:35, I saw the hat!
Good eye. I missed that.
A viewer gave me that suggestion!
Me, too‼️
LOVE! This tour was so fantastic. Without a doubt, Mary's apartment is my absolute favorite of all TV settings. You did a wonderful job touring it. I took a woodworking class in high school and yes, I made an M. It's my initial and as a little girl I always watched the show and loved that M on her wall. I never spotted the R though. Did you notice in the scene of Lou taking too much of the dinner there was a guy sitting behind the dining table at the little table by the window? That actor is Henry Winkler before he became famous as the Fonz.
So, you had an M too? But, you even made yours. Cool. Yes, I thought about pointing out "The Fonz." I just watched an interview with him about doing that episode. It's kind of sad and funny, because it lines up with what happened to him in that episode. He was new there, obviously, and everyone else knew each other. So, when they broke for lunch, he said the whole cast went off to wherever they go and he didn't have a clue where to get any lunch. He said that after that, when guest actors were on any show he was a part of, that he made sure that they knew where they could get some lunch.
WOW, this was fun and ever so well conceived in filling out the missing walls.
I play this series daily just because it makes me feel good, really good!
This vlog just had to be made for me, thank you.❤
Glad you found the channel. I'm currently working on Green Acres. It should be out in a few days. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: ruclips.net/user/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
❤❤❤ lived in Minneapolis for many years and loved driving past Mary's and Rhoda's apartment house. It is a beautiful home. The chain link fence around the house from the 70s in the show doesn't exist now. It is actually a swanky neighborhood. I loved the kitchen and the roll down stain glass window.
Cool that you got to see it so often. It's on my bucket list to go there someday.
Ps...I love the missing walls you put in. It is so on point and it answers our questions. And to me, the show captured the feel of Minneapolis very well. Minneapolis back in the day had a certain feeling and this show captured it.
Wow! This takes me back to high school when I’d never miss an episode! I wanted to BE Mary! I’m curious now, seeing the size of her closet why she didn’t just make that a tiny bedroom…🤔
Good question. I wish the set designers were still around so I could ask my 100s of questions about the set.
Well, she did have a lot of clothes! LOL
Given the choice, I'd probably opt for a big closet over a tiny bedroom 🤔
Marina! I have a new appreciation for this much beloved sit-com. I really did not fully appreciate how the set design contributed so much to the show. Thanks for your videos. When will you analyze Seinfeld's apartment?
I don't know when, but I do want to do it.
This will always be what I imagine when I think of a perfect apartment for a bachelor(ette). Big enough to entertain, but cozy enough to not be overwhelmed. And those windows!
Yes, the perfect apartment. I have plans to do a lot of the homes you mentioned. Maybe you already know, but - You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: ruclips.net/user/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Oh i'm subscribed :) I watched your videos a while back and didn't know you'd released more, so i binged a few and subscribed so I'd see when you release new ones. One I forgot to mention that is really just an interesting house (and another where the house is also kind of a character in the show) is the Murder House from Season 1 of American Horror Story. Creepy or not, the interiors were beautiful.
@@blueneptune146 Thanks. I'm not familiar with that one. I'll check it out.
I absolutely LOVE Rhoda's place.
I just wanted to say that I really love the 4th wall and bathroom you created for Rhoda's apartment. I particularly love the niche over the bathroom door. I've seen a lot of old homes with those. Rhoda often joked about how tiny her apartment was so it was definitely a small space.
Glad you liked the choices for the 4th wall. Those are always fun to come up with.
The apartment from 'That Girl!'
I plan on it. I loved that show!

What a treat to see Rhoda's Apartment. I have always loved her place with the vibrant colors. It is so her and she's one of my all time favorite TV characters of all time. Valarie Harper made and created her, I can't see anyone else playing that role. Thank you for this. The bookcase in Mary's living area has such a charm. I think that is what made me fall in love with that apartment. Sometimes I like to watch the show just to see this apartment. In many ways I was sad when she moved to the new apartment, but I do understand that it was about Mary Richards moving forward in her life.
I was sad when she moved to that 2nd apartment too.
My mom loved this show it’s part of the reason she became a successful physician because of the success and determination thst women of all backgrounds can be more than what they give themselves credit for especially in the working world 🙏🏿
AWESOME!
Another great job, i also wondered how cold Rhoda apartment was especially since they were in Minnesota 🥶 how about the farm house from Green Acres? I know it was part of the plot but it always bugged me they never fixed up the house. It would be cool if you showed it as it was on the show then how it could've been if they fixed it up.
Interesting that you should say that, because that's exactly what I plan to do. 😊
Great idea. It would a great to see how the farm house would look if they finished...I understand why they couldn't never finish their home since such an integral part of most weekly plots shows
Heh heh ... you reminded me of ...
I lived in Malibu for a while with two housemates, in a little house a quick walk up from Pacific Coast Highway. We did not arrange for telephone service right away, and it was fine with us -- even in the days before phones you could carry around with you. But then one day we had a visit from one of our friends from school, and when he asked if he could use the phone we told him how to get to the pay phones in front of the party store down on PCH. When he returned, he commented: "At least on Green Acres they only had to climb the telephone pole."
@@merriemisfit8406 😅🤣😂
Sure they tried to fix it but Alf and Ralph Monroe weren't the best contractors.
Always loved that apartment, but Rhoda was always my favorite character! I love quirky! I would love to see ‘That 70s Show ‘ homes. Both the Foreman’s and Pinciatti’s. I grew up in that era and love that 70s vibe! Love, love your channel!
Thank you. And thanks for the suggestion!😊
Yes do the seventies home shows! All that avocado green and burnt orange LOL!
Yes, the changing of the seasons showed through Mary's window. And that built in bookcase rocked!
You did an amazing job. Being a huge MTM Show fan since I was a kid in the 1970s, your interpretation of Mary’s apartment is perfection. The only thing I didn’t see was Mary’s distinctive white luggage set.
I should have added that. Glad youiked the tour. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: ruclips.net/user/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
I love this! The Mary Tyler Moore show is such a motivating show you really feel like you can take on anything!!
I would love to see you create Villa Bramasole in Under the Tuscan Sun.. the house has so much character!
I love that home too. Hopefully I'll get to it someday.

I always wondered about the establishing shot showing Mary's apartment on the 3rd floor but Rhoda always goes up to hers. Was there 4 floors from the back?
Not as bad a Full House having Uncle Jesse( who's last name changes from Cockran to Kotsopolis after season 1). He moves to an attic that never existed( per establishing shot) after marriage. If the extra floor was there. Joey & Jesse wouldn't have initially needed to live in the stair alcove ,& basement, respectively.
Rhoda ' apartment had attoc walls with no insulation....in Minneapolis?
That house is impossible. I want to explore it someday. I made a tour of the main floor, but haven't ventured upstairs yet.
I grew up with this show and adored it, but there is so much I never noticed! Yes, I have an "M" that my dad gave me for Christmas back then. He was a fan of the show, as well.
Mary and Rhoda forever ✨❤️✨❤️✨
Imagine how many letters there are on walls because of this show. 😊
And I really enjoyed Rhoda and her shows … and she was so bold and strong… when things got tough she never gave up!
And I enjoyed ❤ her apartment as well I don’t think I got enough of it!
Thank you so much for this!🌹😎
They were both great characters!
Thank you 4 this video! I love the outside of this house, the I loved the inside, her car, her clothes, her hair, her life. But most of all, I wanted a friend like Ronda!
Yes! Rhoda would be such a fun friend.

I met Valery harper once - a sweet kind delightful woman and down to earth - it's a joyful memory for me.
I love the Mary Tyler Moore show
Me tooooo!
These videos may be the most calming thing I've ever seen. 😌
😊
MTM show was 1970 to 1977.
I was 13 thru 20 at 1977.
Before Mary, there was That Girl (1966 -1971) Marlo Thomas.
A daring concept of women's liberation.
Unfortunately not too many could get up and go. Due to strict upbringing especially in spanish family. I'm Puerto Rican.
I was the only sibling of 4 , to follow tradition.
From parent's house to husband's house.
22 years later, I got my first apartment (studio) at 42 years old.
And yes I felt like Ann Marie (That Girl) and Mary Richard. It was wonderful.
Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Instead of breaking the 4th wall, you are building it! I love what you do.
Thank you!
Beautiful job. This is one of the most famous houses, in sitcom history.
Thank you. I agree. And judging by the comments, we're not alone.
Loved this episode of Mary Tyler Moore Show! 😊
I love this. I do remember an episode however where Rhoda tells Mary not to leave the water running in her bathtub when she leaves the house. Then she tells her that she (Rhoda) is the one who left the water running and it's flooded down into Mary's bathroom....... So somehow in that teeny tiny apartment Rhoda would have had a bath tub.
One of the best tv theme song/intros ever.
Yes! I agree. It sets the tone for the show.
Great TV Apartments.
Lol the veal prince Orlof was probably the funniest episode. Just knowing how Mary felt to have to tell her boss he took too much. Mortifying!
Yes. One of my favorites along with Chuckles the Clown's funeral.

I’ve rewatched the series and yes the apartment was like another character in the show! Beautiful. Please do the Partridge Family house.
I like the way you stated that - the apartment was like another character. 😊
I will definitely be doing The Partridge Family home.

You made my day!!! I wanted to live in Mary's apartment, too! Oh my gosh! You are BRILLIANT!! Oh my goodness--how did I not find your channel earlier? I feel like laughing and crying at watching this.
Oh This Brought me To Tears!
I Go To Bed With This Show,
Playing All Night.
I Cannot Sleep With Silence due To Some Trauma.
This Is Such A Comfort To Me.
I Am So THRILLED I Found Your Channel!
It Is This Show Or Fraiser.
Mary Wins Out.
I Adore Rhoda Too!
I Just Finished All Seasons!
Nothing Beats Those Memories.
So I Take Them To Bed With Me,
And When The Song Begins My Three Dogs Know What Time It Is!
Thank You And Much Love!

I always picture Mary's bathroom as round -- the lower part of the turret (consistent with when they recast the house in Season 3). Great work!!
I like that idea!
Who didnt want to live in Mary's apartment! Hers and Ann Marie's NYC apartment were my dream apartments. Thank you for the amazing detail and work you put into these tours! So fun!!
My pleasure.
I plan on doing Ann Marie's apartment someday, by the way.
One of Rhoda's best lines, "...and this is my date, Mr. and Mrs. Armond Lynton."
Yes! Totally agree.
Very nicely done. 👍🏽
I was two years old when the show premiered, but my mom and grandmother watched from the start.
I watched, but didn't understand it like they did. 😄
As time went on to when I was older and watched the old episodes in my teens, I fell in love with the fashions worn by Mary, Phyllis and Rhoha. 😲
My grandmother was extremely talented when it came to designing and sewing clothes, and she was always very stylish with original designs, or her take on a well-known designer's work. She made clothes for herself, my mom, many others and me.
I was a fashionable little girl, starting at age two, who wore capes and matching berets made by my grandmother, floor length maxi dresses, pleated short skirts/dresses, and other styles that were popular in the 60s and 70s.
My mom and I had a couple of matching outfits that my grandmother made, and she even made an outfit the three of us to match and compliment each other's look for a Fourth of July event when I was around three years old.
When I first saw Phyllis and Bess dressed alike, it was cool to see and reminded me of my mom and myself.🙂
Mary often reminded me of my grandmother. My grandmother was very light skinned with very loosely curled natural hair because of her being part Native American.
She was a young grandmother at three months after her 40th birthday. She also looked a lot younger than her age and people thought I was her baby, and that my mom was her sister, who also looked very young.
She was outgoing, stylish, funny, independent... worked before and after my grandfather passed, she drove sporty cars (a 69 Mustang convertible, two Dodge Chargers) she loved throwing parties, too, but they weren't as disasteraly funny as Mary's. 😄
I love this! Thanks for sharing. I can picture it all.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane
Hi. 🙂
I'm glad you enjoyed my memories. 🙂
I was editing as you were reading. I'd forgotten to mention about her driving sporty cars like Mary, too... Mustang convertible and two Chargers. Maybe Mary had a _little_ influence on her, too, but she was doing her own thing before the show. 🙂
@@LMmccallL57 Cool!
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane
Thank you! 🙂
One of my favorite examples of attention to detail is the addition of the skyscraper IDS Tower that shows up in the window. The building was not built until 1972. In the first couple of seasons, you can see the tallest building in the city until, the IDS Center was completed, called the Foshay Tower. Who would have guessed that set designers would care about a tiny detail like that!
I didn't know that. Thanks.

What a great tour! I loved that show and it was fun to see the apartment in this way. Request for the future: the stunning apartment from Bird Cage with Robin Williams and Nathan Lane.
My favorite TV show! I could picture each episode’s plot in the stills you showed. So we’ll done and such a pleasing voice. Thanks!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

I watched Mary Tyler Moore when it was a new show on TV, and several times on reruns, and in all that time I never noticed her small letter R! Thanks so much for creating this tour for us.
Glad you liked it. I sure had fun making this one.
I, too, loved Rhoda ‘s apartment! My bedroom was pink and orange also!
I love this. This show inspired me so much as a teen. I use to watch this show as a rerun as a teen in the 90s. I was def inspired. I think subconsciously I became a little bit Rhoda and a little bit Mary as an adult. I had a very unique apartment in my early to mid 30s that I called my Mary Tyler Moore apartment. It had a loft and I painted one wall bright orange. This was a joy to see!
One of my favorite episodes was when Rhoda redecorated Lou’s apt. To this day I think it was amazing design. It was very modern but also retro. I’m the episode Lou hated it which was of course hilarious.
Glad you liked the tour. I love how many stories there are in these comments about how the show had an influence in people's lives. 🥰

Loved seeing Mary Tyler Moore and Rhoda's apartments just as I imagine they would be amazing! I would love to see My Three Sons TV home.

I always loved that apartment I always wanted that apartment!!! I like her first apartment than the other apartment when she moved.
thanks marina - you're gonna make it after all! :)
another job well done on a classic favorite of (i suppose millions of) people - i know that guys liked her apartment and independence as much as girls but it being focused on her was practically unheard of in 1970 - except for THAT GIRL, there simply wasn't any depiction of a single modern woman on tv - i never missed it myself and then i stayed tuned for BOB NEWHART as well - anyway - thanks! :)
Glad you liked it. I will be doing the Bob Newhart apartment in September in time for the 50th anniversary.
My favorite era of Mary Tyler Moore And Rhoda and I love those two Women they're a great role model for women and the apartment were so iconic it amazing thank you for a great video Marina 💗💗💗

This was awesome, thanks for including Rhods's apartment. For me, it has always been about Rhoda, she was so pretty and had just a great sense of style.
Yes. Loved Rhoda!

Hi, Marina! You gave us such a nice, pleasant presentation. Absolutely perfect all-around! I too, wished that I could have lived in Mary's beautiful apartment. So cozy, and comfortable. Rhoda's was wonderful, too. All colorful w/lot's of character like the lady herself! It's amazing what can be done now w/computer technology---takes us right there to our favorite places. Places in the heart we'll always treasure.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I have made many other homes too. You can see all of the other TV and movie home tours I've made here: ruclips.net/user/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
Oh thank you so much Marina, what a glorious video! Yes indeed, didn't we all love and admire Mary Richards, her apartment and each and every one of her beloved friends! My first name is Mark and I too have the 'M' initial in my home, just like Mary. May I also say that many guys such as myself also admired Mary as a roll-model for independent, successful living in the modern world. Also inspired by Mary, I have a yellow Mustang Convertible, similar to the one Rhoda bought for Mary when Mary had loaned Rhoda money and Rhoda repaid Mary with the new car. Mary and Rhoda were/are beacons for us all :-)
Thank you. You're right - I shouldn't have limited to girls that admired her and saw her as a role model!

Good job, Marina. This brings back so many memories.
I'm an architecture nut and I remember as a kid it used to drive me bananas that there was obviously not room for many of the rooms and things in TV homes and apartments. Thank you for pointing out when something is not physically possible. But, it's TV and we enjoy it anyway,
I appreciate your doing this hard work so we can see what we thought about a lot and bringing these great old shows back to us in 3-D.
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying these. Always nice to know I'm not alone in wondering about these TV home layouts.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Please keep up the great work. You are not alone, by any means. Many of us loved these shows too, and love design and architecture. Thank you for this channel.

What a kind act of respect and love! Your efforts are so appreciated.
I am sitting in my home watching your painstaking work allow me to revisit my childhood and recall the family memories of that terrific show.
You put a smile on my face, and I am certain many of your viewers as well. Thank you kindly, I look forward to viewing more of your creations. My poor wife has to endure me asking about the old shows "do you remember...?"
Thanks again - great job!!!!!
So glad you enjoyed the tour.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Absolutely. You have hit on an interesting topic for my generation, I believe. Time has flown by, and then recently I saw a clip of MTM and it took me back to my childhood - then I started to look shows from that era - fun - light - quirky but great shows. I then saw another YT channel that shows the celeb's gravesites (odd, but respectfully done) and it lead me to your work - which is a nice uptick :) I didn't know how popular "her home" has become with people stopping and taking pictures at the house. There you have it, and I look forward to seeing more of your work on other "homes." Have a wonderful day and thanks again for your efforts.
I WATCHED THIS EVERY SAT. NIGHT!!
Me too. 😊
