As a party at Mary's house breaks up, "Phyllis" is shocked to hear newcomer "Sue Ann Nivens" commenting about how this nice man is going to take her home. The problem? His name is "Lars!" Yikes, that's Phyllis's husband. What's going on? Is the station's new "Happy Homemaker" stealing Phyllis husband. Well, Phyllis doesn't think so but Rhoda and Mary are suspicious and think their friend is "really naive." What to do?
Being this is the first time in decades I've re-visited this famous show, it was great, once again, to see Mary Tyler Moore as "Mary Richards;" Valerie Harper as "Rhoda Morgenstern;" Ed Asner as "Lou Grant; " Betty White as "Sue Ann Nivens;" Ted Knight as "Ted Baxter;" Cloris Leachman as "Phyllis Lindstrom," and Gavin MacLeod as "Murray Slaughter." It was like going back and see old family again.
By the way, Leachman won an Emmy for her performance on this Season Four opening episode and this show marked the debut of White's character (who certainly was memorable.) Leachman's line about "I'm going to rip her face off," still sounds hilarious.
