Mary Tyler Moore DD..almost...

[ftpjesus]

Report on TMZ says she's basically in deaths door and not expected to make it. Family has been apparently called in to say goodbye. Best known as playing herself in a sitcom using her name in the 70s-80s. She's been battling a myriad of health issues including diabetes and underwent brain surgery in 2011.

Last month, NPR's Fresh Air rebroadcast an interview of MTM about Grant Tinker from the mid 1990s. Worth listening to for MTM fans, as well as fans of TV from that era.

She was brilliant in "Ordinary People".

I grew up watching the MTM show on Nick @ Nite in the early 90's. When i first visited Minneapolis, my friends were showing me around and we went past the plaza where she throws her hat in the air (there's a statue of her doing it) and as it happens, the apartments that served as a background shot in the show, are now known as the Crack Stacks. it's public housing.

Weezer's song drops Buddy Holly & Mary Tyler Moore.

They guy who wrote and sang the MTM show theme was Sonny Curtis who was in Buddy Holly's band, The Crickets

6 degrees type shit

Song made Weezer famous cause the video appealed to guys like Druff but the band hated it and it almost didn't make the cut for the album.

Useless trivia ... I got nothin lately
