You're Gonna Make It After All! Where Are They Now The Mary Tyler Moore Show Edition

By Tanya |

Celebrate Mary Tyler Moore's birthday by looking back at one of the greatest shows of all time! The Mary Tyler Moore Show was an iconic and acclaimed show that lasted seven seasons. The cast was filled with amazing characters in a first-of-it's-kinds series about an unmarried woman going after a career.

It's been almost 40 years since The Mary Tyler Moore Show ended, so what is the cast up to now?

Mary Tyler Moore - Mary Richards

       Giphy    

Mary Tyle More is 80 years old now and just as wonderful as ever. She won an Oscar in 1980 and has continued acting ever since, most recently reuniting with former co-star Betty White in Hot in Clevland.

Gavin MacLeod - Murray Slaughter

He is literally from a place called Pleasantville, and it is keeping pretty busy! He was the captain of the Love Boat for many years and since then has had many parts in TV shows.

Edward Asner - Lou Grant

I think Edward Asner's list of movies in post-production is the longest I have ever seen! He has so many projects on the go at once it's super impressive! One that I didn't realize he was in was Up! He was the voice of Carl.

Ted Knight - Ted Baxter

Unfortunately Ted Knight passed away back in 1986, but his legacy will live on.

Valerie Harper - Rhoda Morgenstern

       Giphy    

She even got her own spin off "Rhoda" after the original show ended. She is still acting in many TV shows to this day despite her battle with cancer!

Georgia Engel - Georgette Franklin

       Giphy    

She also recently joined Betty White in Hot in Cleveland for almost 20 episodes and has also made a bunch of other TV movies and TV series.

Betty White - Sue Ann Nivens

Betty White is a treasure. She is America's most favorite Sweetheart and she deserves all the love.

Cloris Leachman - Phyllis Lindstrom

Cloris Leachman is hilarious and has kept crazy busy after this show ended. She is currently filming in the new show called American Gods based off the Neil Gaiman book that people are pretty excited about.

Happy Birthday Mary Tyler Moore! Thank you for the many years of joy you have given us!

Aside from their special abilities, a superhero's costume is an important part of their identity.

The True Story Behind "The Sound of Music" Is Even Better Than Whiskers On Kittens

By Jon
When Julie Andrews brought the sound of music down from the mountains and into our hearts, she brought with it a love for the real-life von Trapp family, who the story was based on. The movie follows the autobiography of the real Maria von Trapp, who was a nun that became a part of an Austrian family before the Nazi occupation in World War II. The film accurately portrays a lot about their lives and demeanor, but in Maria's published memoirs (that the film was based on) it is easy to see how much becomes simple Hollywood figment. Here are

10 Foods From Our Childhood We're Surprised Haven't Been Banned By Now

By Meg
Growing up, we were exposed to a lot of foods we probably shouldn't have been. We didn't necessarily have any of this "all natural organic free range sung to sleep by angels" food that people eat now. We ate what was given to us and didn't worry about the consequences. That being said, there were some pretty questionable foods from back then that are still eaten today, and we're not quite sure why. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying these foods should go away, I'm just saying I'm surprised they haven't. 1. SPAMEaterAs a general rule of thumbs, I

6 Movies That Caused A Lot Of Trouble When They Were Released

By Alex
Movies are supposed to entertain you. They are also supposed to elicit an emotional reaction out of you, whether it be: happiness, sadness, fear, joy, anger, contempt or any number of others. That's the great thing about movies and television, you can essentially do whatever you want because you are just telling stories, that is unless you do something that gets the masses up in arms over what you have created. Some movies are hit the big screen to such controversy that they actually inspired protests. Some were even banned in certain countries because they were deemed to be far

1994 Best Buy Flyer Reminds Us Of Simple, Yet Terrifying Times

By Meg
Before the internet was super available, we had flyers (or paper inserts). We waited for that blessed Sunday paper when we could see all the upcoming deals. And when it was Christmas time? Look out. Those bad boys were getting cut out and glued to another sheet of paper, then promptly mailed off to Santa. Even though it doesn't seem like that long ago, the technology in 1994 was...less than ideal. What we thought was groundbreaking now seems like the stone age. This paper insert from Best Buy is no different. It's from the week of October 23, 1994,
