1. Rest in Peace, Mary

[50 Shades Of Blue]

2. Goddess speed

[Skittles]

3. phenomenal gal

she really meant a lot to us gals "of a certain age" - yes indeed

[Raine1967]

28. Indeed.

I have to tell you that I am 49 and watching those shows in syndication changed my world view.

[tenorly]

4. Thanks for the memories - and above all for being you.

[Freethinker65]

5. Damn.

[Laf.La.Dem.]

6. RIP

[True Dough]

7. She gave us reason to celebrate. RIP

[renate]

8. the world kind of sucks

This really makes me sad. My family used to watch her show together... she gave us wonderful memories.

[MiniMe]

9. 2017 starting off like 2016

Very sad about Mary, I grew up watching her, starting with Dick Van Dyke

[SticksnStones]

10. One of the first generation of feminists on television

A woman with a career

[stopbush]

17. Which makes it all the sadder that she became a huge fan of Fox News

and Bill OReally.

[LittleGirl]

27. I didn't know that. Too bad. ugh. eom

[SticksnStones]

49. Today's not the day to call out her political leanings.

That's called decorum.

[stopbush]

51. Er, plenty of people are calling out her earlier, leftist leanings

and how she portrayed independent women in her TV roles. I'm simply providing a truth of her later years. Has nothing to do with decorum. It has to do with being honest.

[SticksnStones]

53. On the day she died.

It's just in terribly bad taste.

There are many battles to fight. A little class on the day the woman died is warranted.

[stopbush]

58. How is it in bad taste? MTM was quite vocal about her love for Fox News.

Terribly bad taste is failing to a knowledge something about her that she was quite open about.

Methinks you've got things backwards.

Perhaps you'll find it to be in good taste if Fox News goes on about her being a fan of their bcasts without mentioning the "distasteful" fact that earlier in her life she was openly a feminist.

[SticksnStones]

60. Who hurt you?

Why you hating on MTM?

Pick and choose to your battles.

Going on with this is pointless. I believe we hold varying definitions of decorum. That's cool.


Peace ~

[stopbush]

64. Who is hating on anybody?

Your position makes no sense.

[SticksnStones]

65. Bwahahahaha!

Yes, it is clear that my position, to you, makes no sense.
I get that.



RIP MTM
Whatever your politics were, your character, Mary Richards, inspired a nation of young girls and awakening women, myself included.

[stopbush]

67. And it took a liberal like Carroll O'Connor to play the

bigoted conservative Archie Bunker.

Your point?

[Mosby]

52. you should delete your post.

[JHB]

55. Unless it was untrue, no, he shouldn't...

It wasn't attacking /excoriating her, just stating a sad development.

People are mixed bags, even heroes. Sometimes especially heroes.

[Mosby]

62. it was one interview in parade "magazine"

Give me a fucking break.

[yallerdawg]

11. From "Dick Van Dyke" to "Ordinary People" to...

her MTM productions - she was extraordinary - and another lifelong iconic "acquaintance."

[denbot]

12. RIP

I had such a crush on her when I was a pup..

[LudwigPastorius]

13. Thanks, Mary...

for a little song, a little dance...and a whole lot of laughs.

[Soxfan58]

41. That was one

Of the greatest comic moments in TV history. Thank you

[TNNurse]

44. Just watched this episode.

She was wonderful and was a gift to us all.

I did see a post of FB "now Mary is gone and we have Ted Baxter as president". Made me want to cry.

[SCantiGOP]

56. Thanks for posting that

I sent it to my beautiful, healthy 19 year old daughter. I doubt she ever saw MTM on TV, but she has been Type 1 diabetic since she was 5 and knew her as the spokesperson for the Juvenile Diabetes Reasearch Foundation. Since diabetics live on average 7 years less than non-diabetics, it was nice to point out that she was vibrant and engaged until 80.

Of course, if Trump gets his way with overturning Obamacare....

But, thanks for the laughs, the class and for what you did for the two million people who live with T1 diabetes everyday.

[ET Awful]

14. She had spunk!

[Big_K]

38. And I hate....

But I was was totally in love with MTM.

37. Loved her show in the 90s.

They used to show the MTM Show on Nickelodeon, giving us kids a chance to enjoy those classics. One of my favorite shows. She advocated on behalf of Type 1 diabetics and raised awareness for people like us. Legend.

RIP.

But I will never remember her that way.

50. I cannot tell you how many times

in how many different newsrooms back then, someone would address me with "hey, MAAAAARE!"

Safe passage dear lady.
