This is neither here nor there but I notice with the end credits at the Manhattan Heliport you see Marlo standing there at the end in a long shot . If you look very carefully she starts waving. It strikes me that she's waving at us across the years.
The film, 'Moscow on the Hudson', came out years later, with the brilliant and dearly missed Robin Williams. Similar plot points to this episode of T.G. Even used the same tag line, "what a country!"
When the Russian comedian was told the bathrooms were in the same building he responded with "What a Country...........interesting as a few years later Russion comedian Yakov Smirnoff came to the US and his catch phrase was "What a Country". He would say that after making a comedic observation about the US much as this guy did. He was even briefly in a sitcom of the same name. Hmmm..........coincidence or did Yakov develop his catch phrase after watching this show?
It’s same with the eyeglasses they’re wearing now. I wore them in high school in the ‘60’s. In fact, the frames called “eyebrow”, that are now in fashion, my dad wore from the forties till his death in ‘65
Has anyone else noticed the way they sing " she's tinsel on a tree" all ran together like that almost sounds like a big word you cant make out? I hear it every time. Its weird. Im weird i guess . Lol
At the time this episode was originally aired (1971), my great uncle Jacob was the U.S. ambassador to the Soviet Union; and a few years before that, my Mom and Dad had dinner with Marlo Thomas. Coincidence?
It was now the 70s. Most of the series was in the 60s with mod but young conservative looks the sponsor wanted. You see Mission Impossible changing in 70/71 as well as Mannix. If Star Trek had made it to 1971, as promised in the prologue, it would have been retooled to longer hair on the men, board straight hair on the women, pants suits and beige sets.

Very good tv show! I love it! I loved all 70’s shows especially The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Rhoda.
At the beginning of this episode Ann's wearing the same outfit that she wore at the end of episode 16. Love the outfit and the humor!
I love this episode. The show is so sweet and funny. A great cast also.
3:20 that's the same painting that would in Maude's living room years later.
You should watch "Watch it for days" an assessment of Colombo, funny lady and points out statuary and pictures that are used over and over.

Interesting observation.
When that movie came out on VHS tape, I watched it with friends.
See my comment on this same video. "What a Country" was the catch phrase of Russian comedian Yakov Smirnoff.

Ann's cowskin pattern handbag is very popular now, in 2023. Everything old is new again.

Marlo Thomas is very beautiful!🌸🌹🌸
😢l loved her long hair!
One of the Russins following him was a frequent guest on Barney Miller.
"She's tinsel on a tree". I didn't hear that correctly for the longest time.
I used to think the lyrics were Diamonds Babies.
It dies sound like it

Really loved Marlo but always thought her hair way too overpowering on her in these late series episodes😮
Missed Ann’s fresh look in the earlier seasons. Her Season 5 look doesn’t do justice to her good looks

It's amazing how this show could have very pc episodes and then stereotypical episodes like this...
24:12 Is Ted missing teeth here?
Anne’s fake tan & wig spoilt her look. She used to look young & fresh the last few seasons till now. Sad end to this wonderful series
To be honest that’s not a wig I googled it! For you to say anything so ridiculous about a tv show.. shows how little you know you need a life
The NKVD was dissolved in 1946.
