You might want to think twice about putting your personal information on this site. I am nearly certain Mary Tyler Moore doesn't actaully read here. I'm sure there are actually productive ways to try and contact her, such as through her agent. Putting your message here is the rough equivalent of scribbling a note for someone next to the entry about them in an encyclopedia in a library. Both unproductive and needlessly self-relevatory on your part. Moncrief 18:25, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article's biggest need

What the article needs worst that it doesn't yet have IMO is sourced material stating the reasons that MTM's series television work post-Mary Tyler Moore Show has failed so conspicuously. The generally-given (and apparently correct) reason is that these shows are not The Dick Van Dyke Show or The Mary Tyler Moore Show and that her characters are not Laura Petrie or Mary Richards and that this is what the public wants to see her as. (This seems just to apply to TV series; she has done great in other formats.) This, to me, is unfortunate, as some of these shows would probably have done well if not for constant comparison to truly superior previous work. (I think that the same applies to The New Dick Van Dyke Show with Dick and Hope Lange; it would have been thought to have been a fine program except for constant comparisons to his earlier one.) So, does anyone have a published source for this, and if so would you please add it to the article? Rlquall 21:05, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, this has been messed with

Under theater, someone has erased Mary Tyler's biography and replaced it with the phrase "stupid retard." I would fix this, but I know nothing about Mary Tyler Moore's history in theater.

brother

On biogrphy it said she tried to assist her terminally ill brother with a sucicide attempt but it failed and he died soon after of cancer. Anyone now what they tried? How she avoided legal trouble? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.206.165.1 (talk) 05:59, 27 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]
