Curiosities and observations on the series.

Who else like me doesn't think the scenes between Mary Richards and Lou Grant in his office are funny, especially when he bites her head off? Truly a jerk, wasn't he? A reason Mary Tyler Moore's character role really took off is because of the Feminist movement that was going on at that same time, the female sex basically getting its revenge on all that their male counterpart put them through up to that time. Some women wish their counterpart didn't exist, I'm sure. It makes my autistic self feel very guilty about what I was born as, and I really can't relate to the series not being born female.

In an interview with the wives of the Country music group The Statler Brothers that appeared on the back cover of their 1970 album Bed Of Rose's, they were questioned about Women's Lib, one of them had answered that the power males have shouldn't all be taken away from them.

Lastly, why of all places was the series set in Minneapolis, Minnesota? I looked on here at the biographies of the series creators; James L. Brooks and Allan Burns, neither of them were born there. I don't think any website could tell me why this city was chosen for the setting and I don't have the time to look that up.
