This was a tough one. I knew she was very sick and has been for years. But this is a real drag. Most of the Hollywood stars that pass away, I barely notice. But this makes me sad. It really does. Who didn't like Mary Tyler Moore? Nobody. Everyone liked her.

I think I am older than you, Bill, and I remember Mary Richards more than Laura Petri. I was pretty young when the Petris were in New Rochelle.
I remember once Rush Limbaugh was talking shit about her because she wanted to save a large old lobster in a restaurant. Fuck that fat bastard. I thought it was great that she wanted to save it. I saved a lobster once, it was about to be sold and I bought it and waded out in the surf in my nice clothes and set it free.
She was really pretty when she was young. The Mary Richards show seems like about 1970 or 1974 or so, I'd have to look it up. I knew she had Type-1 diabetes.
I named a cat after the little kitten that was at the end of her show parodying the MGM lion. There's a story about her cat too.
It just fucked up my day waking up and seeing she was dead. That would normally never happen. Probably the real reason I feel so sad about her death probably has to do with accepting that I too am getting old. For whatever reason, it affected me.

When I was five I used to go to kindergarten in the morning, and in the
early afternoon my mom and I had a ritual where we would cuddle up on the
couch and watch three TV show reruns together: Candid Camera, The Beverly
Hillbillies, and The Dick Van Dyke Show. Very fond memories. They are all
among my favorites to this day. My mom was very sad in those days, having
just lost my father to heart disease. It was good to see her laughing
instead of crying.

I was a little surprised she was only 80, because she has been in the news
with serious health issues for what seems like a very long time. She didn't
seem to age very well. It's weird when you see people who seem so fit and
healthy all their lives run into such devastatating health problems at a
relatively early age.

I kinda expected to see her death in the headlines any day, for what seemed like a long time. I feel grateful that she made it this far, but she must have been miserable. Maybe she wasn't so grateful.

Maybe, as you say, she didn't age well, but she also had some horrible plastic surgery years ago, that turned out very bad. All these movie stars want to stay young looking, it rarely works. I say grow old gracefully and let the chips fall where they may. Of course, she was never healthy. So skinny in a photo from 1988 I saw, I think on Wiki.
Something else disturbing, on Wiki it shows her with several little children, getting an award or something, along with Dennis Hastert, the serial child molester, officially called that by a judge. If I was Wiki, I would cut him out of that picture. Very creepy. I hope they kick his ass in prison. Speaker of the House for all those years. Evil person.
If you want to know about her cat, google "mimsie".

remember a joke from that show told by Morey Amsterdam (remember him?).
I'm not sure why, but this particular joke has ALWAYS stuck with me. I
searched for it on youtube today, and was shocked to see that someone
had actually posted it! EVERYTHING is on the internet.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpWLwp6GR9Q
The weird thing is, after all these decades I still had a clear picture
in my mind of Morey telling that joke, but I would have have bet
anything that it took place in their writing office. I can still SEE in
my mind exactly where he was standing in the office when he told it.
It's strange how your memories can play tricks on you.

still very sharp.
When I think about the Mary Tyler Moore Show, this is always the first
snippet that comes to mind:

It's just so emblematic of the domineering attitudes toward women in our
Christian male-dominated society.

and worked with Ed Asner, Betty White and the News Room gang. She was so good in the role that you'd almost forget she was acting. Seems sad that the next time most people see her will be in the
"In Memoriam" segment of the Oscars.

Yeah, that "Mary Tyler Moore Show" was the best! A professional woman who didn't marry, never felt the need for a man, someone strong on her own, and her equally independent female friends. Ground breaking role model. My hero!

That is so odd that you claim she is your hero. I don't recall Mary Tyler Moore hating America or white Christians. Nor do I remember her ever defending the murders, rapes, torture and slaughter committed by muslim terrorists. She seemed much more likely to be a person you'd attack and ridicule rather than admire.

She aborted at age 17.
A baby killer, a cold selfish murderer.

Who can have a clump of cells,
and not even realize that it's her child?
Well it's you girl and you should know it.
With every mid and late-term abortion you show it.
Birth control's around,
why don't you take it?
If you don't love your clump why don't you fake it?
You should have that baby after all.
