This has some good moments. Actually, the funniest has nothing to do with the main plot. Phyllis comes up to invite Mary to a fund raiser for an anti-capital punishment group (since there is no capital punishment in Minnesota it seems superfluous). She tells Mary that they will have an actual electric chair at the next meeting and donors receive a little chain with a man hanging from a noose charm. The central figure is a former NFL player who wants a job as a sports announcer. He is selling insurance and hates the work. He is also terribly depressing and self deprecating. Mary, who probably takes in strays, tries to help him out, even though she knows he is terrible. But he is kind and sincere and people like him. It plays out pretty much to form. Ordinary episode.
