Review of Feeb

The Mary Tyler Moore Show: Feeb (1972)
Season 2, Episode 16
7/10
Frustrating!
31 July 2019
This episode has a bit more negativity and unpleasantness than usual which can be hard to stomach. Even the episode title seems a bit mean.

Lou is exasperated as the (suitable) applicants Mary has lined-up for the new secretary job aren't attractive enough. Since the last two are good looking, Lou lets Mary make the final decision. (He even checks out Mary's rear as she leaves the room.) Instead of an ideal candidate Mary hires the inept waitress Randy (Barbara Sharma) who was fired after Mary complained of bad service, as she feels so guilty.

Randy is terrible at the job, but Mary covers for her. The situations are well acted - too well acted! It gets very frustrating to watch.

I felt bad for the good applicant who didn't get the job.
