Technical problems with the posted video aside, this was one of the best episodes of this outstanding series and shows why Marchand won Emmy after Emmy for this role. The casting, acting, direction, writing and production values of this entire series was the best in the business, the likes of which we'll never see again.

Highlighting the wonderful Nancy Marchand! These are great, and very much appreciated.

That was an amazing piece of acting by Nancy Marchand, it was almost like She actually had a real stroke. I remember Kirk Douglas as He was recuperating from His stroke and Nancy's speech, facial expression and body language was almost exactly like His in real life. Her first step brought H2O to my eye. Thank you mtmepisodes for uploading it, flaws and all.

Therapist is Patti Findley. She played Sgt. Becker’s wife on Rockford Files and Twinks McFarland on an episode of the Mary Tyler Moore show. FYI

Nancy Marchand's acting was superb!..... My mother had numerous strokes, as did her father. now my blood pressure is high....I thought it mainly contributed to heart attacks...I think I better get back on my B/P meds...although they make me feel very run down, and I already have so many different diseases that cause me to not function well at all. Some of these episodes are very informative...thanks for uploading them!!

Way to go Mrs. Pinchon... I Love this one the Best of all of them so far❣️❣️❣️🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜

Heartrending - my mother had her stroke a few months before she passed away, she had alzheimer's for a few years before the stroke. This brings back those memories of that particular time. I miss her so much.

Made me cry. So sweet.

Nancy Marchand won 4 Emmys for Best Supporting Actress. Sadly, Linda Kelsey won none. She should've at least gotten ONE, she was outstanding too.

Down in the dumps because my next viewing will be the final season.

Wow, Charlie was so pissed he caused a solar flare 😃

She was Outstanding!

I can't remember the last time I saw television snow. It is sort of a welcome nostalgic experience really! I doubt we missed anything extremely important to the story, at least to a point that we cannot catch up. I know this is sort of splitting hairs a bit and I am sure it was not meant to be but the "how many pennies in a dime" question is a trick question. There is zero pennies in a dime. There is ten cents in a dime and there is one cent in a penny. There is also copper in dimes (as well as quarters) and has been ever since the sixties to save silver for the Vietnam War.

The part of Dana, the girl being photographed, is played by the late Victoria Lynn Johnson, who was a real centerfold: She was the 1977 Penthouse Pet Of The Year.

Enclosed Malls... Great investment... For a while !

For maybe a decade before my dad died in his late 80s, his doctors were concerned for his low blood pressure. And yet, it was a massive stroke that took him out of here. Oh Luuuuuucyyyyyy, you got some 'splain' to do!

Not to say it spooked me, but I took my blood pressure meds right after watching this episode. Could be a PSA for stroke prevention.

She had a stroke in the Sopranos, too. I wish the lord would take me, now!

“Why am I sinking away from the light ...”. Oh, my lord 🥺

its an old tape just enjoy way better than not having these at all

I feel Rossi's pain. When I first became an assistant editor, I did a lot of rewriting of other people's articles. Eventually, I realized that there are a lot of things I don't need to rewrite, and that there are times when it is best to speak with reporters as I go through their work.

It's so interesting to see Mrs P so vulnerable.

Someone playing with the cable cords while recoding this episode?

Strokes, aka cerebrovascular events, are a VERY difficult thing to bounce back from usually. If you have a moderate or bad one, your life as you knew it is over and your family or caregivers are stuck taking care of you forever. LIVE HEALTHY!!! Don't drink, don't smoke!! Don't survive on artery-clogging food! Exercise!

She was miraculously back to normal by the next episode!

Sparkle (the rehab doctor) is back!

I had a stroke in 2013. But no aphasia, thank god!

Those hot chicks are all pushing 70 now .

The guy quits the paper then grabs a rockin' man purse.

12:20 contrast plain uptight Billie with the curvy beautiful student / model Dana

As accurate as the episode was about strokes, I think they messed up just a bit. The left side of her face was drooping (paralyzed) so shouldn't her left arm be in a sling at the end, not her right? From what I know, the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body and visa versa.

Magazines are deader than newspapers these days

She is paralyzed on her right side, but it is her left eye that is squinted. Maybe like me, she can’t squint her right eye. She is also talking with the right side of her mouth. If that was easier for her, they could have just said she was paralyzed on her left side.

How old was Mrs. Pynchon supposed to be in his episode? Nancy Marchand was just 52.

the loud chamber music in the rehab scenes near the end seemed odd and unnecessary

They start with a walker first. If a person has a stroke they walk behind with a wheelchair in the event that the patient collapses.

Speed control is the greatest invention ever on YT. 1/2x speed and everyone sounds drunk.

What's with the interruptions?

12:30 $1,500 in 1981 is $4,268.61 in 2020... a helluva lot of money. 15:38 $150 is $426.86 in 2020 I know this is sort of petty but the static just after 15:38 sort of takes me back. You don't see TV snow anymore. Fred (Pinchon's nephew) reminds me of my neighbor and friend of mine when he had his stroke and was impaired. I am sorry to say that his family (daughter, son-in-law and his adult grandson) all wanted that old man dead to take what few possessions he had. 13:48 Poor choice of words... that is outright liberalism. Trying to protect the students from themselves.

Ironic when they called Mr Grant conservative when in fact the show got canceled due to Ed Asner pushing a liberal agenda on the scripts.
