    Mary, Roda and Phylis walked so that Monica, Rachel and Phoebe could run - this show deserves more accolades for showing females friendships especially women with different personalities and background

    I'm not sure if Chuckles Bites the Dust can be considered a 'serious issue' but I do know that in my entire life I have never laughed so hard. I laughed so hard that bodily fluids escaped uncontrollably from eyes, nose, mouth and on down. I was simply unable to stop laughing. At one point I didn't think I was going to be able to stop long enough to inhale and I would truly DIE LAUGHING.

    Addiction is one serious issue that this show has tackled, too. One episode had Mary becoming addicted for a short time on sleeping pills. I think they made that episode later in the series

    Think it’s very cool that Mary starred as the typical 50s housewife on the Dick Van Dyke Show and then the typical 70s working woman in her own show. A true trailblazer

    My favorite episode is the one in which Mary goes to jail. Her bravery and integrity is inspiring, and the moment she shares with Mr. Grant is very sweet.
    I still can't believe they all are dead. RIP, Mary Tyler Moore. You did make it after all.

      At least the 70s Show videos were part of a synergy with That 90s Show. I still don’t get their videos on Friends or Big Bang Theory (though I do enjoy the latter show).

    People of my era (born in the 1950s) really understood the significance of some of the issues on the MTM Show. I thought it was remarkable from Day One, although my buddies laughed it off as a “girl’s show.” Other than All in the Family, people simply didn’t talk about divorce, infidelity, antisemitism. So audiences were appropriately shocked when they were highlighted on MTM.

      Not really. I knew who she was despite her hair color because I have seen her on other shows.
      I am guessing that you either didn't see the shows other than the Golden Girls or you are relatively young.
      Am I right?
