Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe building used in the series for the establishing shot of WJM (known in the series as the 'Snyder Building') was, in fact (at the time) Midwest Savings and Loan, located one block south of the IDS Center, on Nicolette Mall (the IDS Center is shown in the opening of the episodes - in the later seasons, Mary's wearing a yellow-print overalls-type outfit, as she's crossing), at 801 Nicolette Mall, Minneapolis. When the WJM crew (sans Ted) is looking out the newsroom window, at the sunset, the cut-away shot of the newsroom office is on the east side of the building.
- Quotes
Ted Baxter: Mary, I didn't get a chance to thank you. You saved my life by pressing your lips to mine.
Mary Richards: Ted, it was nothing.
Ted Baxter: What'd you expect? I was sick.

Featured review
Touching
This is an unusually good episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Ted has a mild heart attack, causing him to appreciate life all the more. His colleagues are frustrated with him at first but eventually come to feel the same way. Lou and Mary tell each other how much they are appreciated. No joke about it. And it works well. Murray realizes he is a lucky man to have a wife and kids and friends. The episode ends with the three of them simply admiring a sunset from the heretofore unseen WJM film library. I was reminded of a movie Mary made in 1968 called "What's So Bad About Feeling Good," in which a South American bird infects New Yorkers with a virus that makes them happy all the time. One wonders if episode writer Earl Pomerantz was influenced by "What's So Bad About Feeling Good" in the creating this great episode.
