...troupe acted out various scenes from text-books, illustrating the sex-role stereotypes forced on school children. In one scene, the little boys blew on their pinwheels to make them spin, while the little girls waited in vain for the wind to make their pinwheels go. "Maybe there'll be wind tomorrow," the wide-eyed and gray-bearded Ira says sweetly, as he holds up his imaginary pinwheel...
...sitcoms, MTM has always transmitted intelligence, along with a rather unique respect for its characters and its audience. The snorting, hoorawing Archie Bunker's All in the Family has no such charm.

The occasion: the taping of the 168th and final episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, scheduled to air March 19. Even such spin-off graduates as Valerie Harper and Cloris Leachman were written into the farewell show. How to end it? New management fires everyone but Anchorman Ted Baxter (Ted Knight). At a post-taping, post-mortem dinner, Mary and the rest of the cast sat through the outtakes of lines that were...
