The Mary Tyler Moore Show 3.13

Hospital. There are some lovely Lou/Ted scenes in this one. Very funny. But it takes too long to get going. The b-story (Mary/Murray) isn’t particularly strong and it gets too much screentime. Once Ted and Lou start to bond the episode is really enjoyable, but it’s also nearly over! And, after that, whenever we move away from the burgeoning friendship it is annoying. Because that’s what we want to see. 7/10
