David Ogden Stiers (Remember Charles Emerson Winchester of MASH) is the station manager. Mary is having trouble making ends meet and feels she should have a raise. By the time Lou is done with her, they make a unified effort to talk to the boss. Soon, they are both sitting home. He has given them a final offer. He is quirky and inconsiderate. Of course, Mary is on such a tight budget, she begins to wilt. At one point, Ted and Georgette come over and offer to loan her money. I know she is a fictional character, but one would think she could do better with the job she has. Nevertheless, there are some pretty funny moments.
