LOU GRANT: ME-TV'S GOT SPUNK!


I don't remember seeing the 'Mary Tyler Moore Show' reunion special some years back - did they all appear as themselves or as the characters they played on the show? And if they were appearing as the characters, was there talk about Ted Baxter being dead, or did they just talk about Ted Knight? Was there anything said about this in the TV movie "Mary And Rhoda"?


Because if nothing was said about Ted Baxter being dead, it would be nice to consider him as still being alive in Toobworld, still with Georgette, watching his grandchildren grow up.....

As for Lou Grant looking so old in comparison to not only Ted but to Mary as well, that's just the effects of going back to his old job, I'm sure. The stress got to him. Or maybe this works better:

Mary asked Lou to make that speech years ago and he's only now getting around to it. Ted, on the other hand, is in the "present" day, but he relies heavily on make-up to make himself look ageless.

BCnU!
