Crazy Sam’s Saturday 9: Love Is All Around (1970)
On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun…
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) This week's song is the theme from The Mary Tyler Moore Show, a sitcom that originally aired from 1970 to 1977. Were you a fan?
Most definitely and also the Dick Van Dyke Show.
I think I wasn’t the only one who dreamed of being like Mary.
2) The song tells us that Mary Richards can turn the world on with her smile. Yet the real-life Mary Tyler Moore said she was uncomfortable with her "wide mouth." If you could improve on one of your facial features, which would you choose?
Lose weight… my face is fat just like the rest of my body. (As I sit here at 7 AM on a Saturday morning munching on cherries).
3) We also hear that Mary can "take a nothing day and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile." What do you think makes a day "a nothing day?"
Standing in line all day at the Department of Motor Vehicles only to be told that you need more paperwork to get a “Real ID” marking on your driver license.
4) Mary works in the newsroom at WJM. Her desk is neat as a pin. Are you neat? Or do you lean to the sloppy side?
lean to the sloppy side is putting it nicely.
5) Mary's best friend, Rhoda, worked as a window dresser at Hempel's department store. What department store did you most recently shop at? What did you buy?
A skirt and a blouse to wear to an upscale country club tomorrow.
6) Mary Richards lived in Minneapolis. What city is nearest to where you are right now?
Well it all depends upon what you call a city, there are a couple of small cities near me but the largest is Hartford.
7) Originally the part of Mary Richards was written as a divorcee, but in 1970, there were no TV shows that centered around a divorced woman. Think about the women in your life. Are most of them married, divorced, single or widowed?
Yes.
Many are married, many are divorced, and many of them are single. I don’t think I know many widowed… yet.
8) The MTM production company logo featured a mewing kitten. The cat was found in a Minneapolis shelter, and, after her sequence was shot, she was adopted by a crew member who named her Mimsie. What's the name of the last cat -- or dog or hamster or rabbit -- that you petted?
Samoa
9) Random question -- Would you rather have a job that kept you seated on your fanny or standing on your feet?
I had a job where I sat on my fanny all day and now I am paying for it healthwise.
Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!

ReplyDeleteI think I'm more cluttered than sloppy. Is there a difference? Meh, I'm not tidy.
ReplyDeleteGood gravy...the DMV nightmare. It's a good enough reason to not have to get a new license.
ReplyDeleteCherries are good for you! Eat all of them you want.
