Out Of Context Mary Tyler Moore Show Moment

So I'm watching the Mary Tyler Moore show today and this happened:

Mary's parents dropped in for a visit. That's her dad next to her on the couch. Take a good look at him there...

He's a dead ringer for that Walter puppet in Jeff Dunham's inexplicably popular ventriloquism act!

Look at 'em! They're practically twins! It's like they sawed off the actor's head, let it sit in the sun to shrink a bit, and then screwed in on the neck of that puppet! Can a person copyright their face? If so, the family of the guy who played Mare's dad needs to file a lawsuit, pronto!

Out Of Context Mary Tyler Moore Moment

So I'm watching the Mary Tyler Moore show today and this happened:

OH GOD, MARY'S TALKING ABOUT HER PERIOD TO MURRAY!!! 

Boundaries, Mary, boundaries! This is the workplace after all. You're making poor Murray uncomfortable and creating a hostile work environment.

OH SWEET JESUS, NOW SHE'S TELLING MR. GRANT ABOUT IT!!!

Great, now the whole newsroom's gonna have to go down to Human Resources and spend the day in a seminar.

This post gets a rating of four Disapproving Mary Tyler Moore Show Ladies. That's bad, by the way.

Architectural Oddities: The Mary Tyler Moore Show

I know this is only 40 years late, but whatever. I was recently watching The Mary Tyler Moore Show and noticed something strange about Mary's living arrangements. 

Above is a shot of Mary's apartment building from the opening credits of the second season (That's Mare's car parked in front). If you look closely you'll see a central arched window on the top floor. Behind that window is the cozy little one-room apartment where Mary lived for the first three or four seasons of the series. So far so good.

However, in many episodes, Mary's best friend Rhoda Morgenstern is described as living above Mary. Virtually every week she tells Rhoda to "come on down" to talk, and when she leaves she always says she's going "back upstairs."

So where exactly is Rhoda going?

I'm not seeing any space for another apartment above Mary's. In fact, the real-life owners of the house stated that the "third floor" where Mary supposedly lived was actually an unfinished attic at the time the series was filmed. So unless the attic has its own second attic, I'm not seeing any space for an "upstairs." Maybe Rhoda beds down on the roof? Or perhaps she sleeps vertically in that cone-shaped turret on the right? Or maybe she roosts in one of the trees surrounding the house? No wonder she hangs out in Mary's apartment so much.

Now excuse me while I go stand in the middle of a busy intersection and giddily throw my hat into the air.
