Forty-Nine Years Ago Today: The Mary Tyler Moore Show Said Goodbye With a Group Hug, a Tissue Box, and a Timeless Song
**Barbara Colby.** Colby is terrific and gets a lot of laughs as a “lady of the evening” looking to turn her life around with Mary’s help. The highlight, of course, comes when we get to the green dress that she designs for Mary to wear. The final 6 minutes are hilarious. _Spring 1975: CBS aired The Mary Tyler Moore Show in the middle hour of Saturday prime time after The Jeffersons (replacing Friends & Lovers) and before The Bob Newhart Show. Against it were The ABC Saturday Night Movie on ABC and NBC Saturday Night at the Movies on NBC._ 8/10
