This is genius comic timing from MTM. Their chemistry was amazing.

Probably my favorite all time scene from The MTM show. You have to be a good singer to know how to sing this badly. Brilliant show, brilliant acting and Chemistry between MTM and Ed Asner, and of course brilliant writing. Great show no wonder it’s considered one of, if not the best, sitcom of all time.

She is such a good actress

One of the best clips showing the comedic genius of both Mary and Ed.

I still watch this classic show everyday on the Decades channel. It has joined the other classics where the whole cast is deceased. Gordy (John Amos) is the only one still living. 😔😔

Sad both are gone now. Mary Tyler Moore was special.

I HAVE LOVED THIS SHOW for 50 years!! His laugh is priceless!

Ed Asner was just a brilliant actor. People don’t realize how expressive and nuanced his acting was. He could manipulate, cajole, intimidate, be caustic, sarcastic, lovable, devious, terrifying,... or drop dead funny. Asner could go from one expression and emotion to another, in a flash, and do it brilliantly. Like Harrison Ford, Ed Asner had wonderful facial expressions, and major acting skills. Here’s to Lou Grant. The best boss ever.

Hands down one of my fave scenes in TV ever, I just randomly thought of this scene and looked it up. Lou’s making fun of her makes me laugh my ass off to this day.

4 of the best minutes ever on television.

Mary Tyler Moore rules

These two are just so great together!

Such an incredible scene - where Lou's adoration of Mary won't let him directly criticise her awdul rendition - so he saves her by making her appear to be joking with him as a way of stopping her from appearing silly to others, Brilliant acting and writing!

Goodbye, Mary. RIP

Thank you so much for posting this brilliant scene. I grew up watching this series when it was originally broadcast, and it was always one of my favourite shows. The writing, the cast and the directing was perfection. And I remember howling with laughter the first time I saw this. Mary was usually the straight woman on the show, while the other actors like Valerie Harper, Cloris Leachman, Ted Knight, Betty White and Ed Asner got to be the funny ones around her. But MTM was a brilliant comedian when she had a chance, and she slays in this scene. Just as she also did in the final scene of the Chuckles the Clown episode, trying not to laugh during the clown's funeral. She gets the way shy, respectable, sheltered Mary Richards would sing a torch song like this, even when trying to make it smokey. Ed Asner is equally brilliant here. They were so good together. Some of my fondest memories of those years are watching this series.

+Diego Thorrens: OMG, I've heard this in my head for so long - Mary's version - such a classic moment, with Lou, giving Mary 'confidence' as she's singing in the most cliché'd of ways, - 'emphasising words with hand gestures. This is such a good, hard laugh for me, thanks so much for posting. 'Tear my heart out, baby,.sing it out' - Lou Grant

I loved these guys so much.......classic...

Gooooooooooooood job Mary u did that song justice

This was epic.....

Very memorable scene.

FAVORITE SCENE EVER.

Love that clip...

I love Lou's laugh!

This was a Very Special & one of a kind TV shows! I have forgotten a lot of TV shows that brought me so much pleasure. Thank You!

If you’ve heard her sing on the Dick Van Dyke Show, Mary’s voice is actually pretty angelic😂❤️

Doesn't get any better than this, when TV showcased comedic genius

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Love LOU'S reaction

Nobody better than MTM...now and forever.

Absolutely brilliant writing!!!

love this scene... thanks for sharing

Absolutely awesome. Love you all.

LOVED this show!

Sorry Frank! Your rendition is great but for sheer joy and entertainment this terrific. Makes me smile every time!

🥰🥰🥰 Thank you…

Love xx

THAT is what as known as Advanced Chemistry in comic cting.

Dai Giulio Mucciacito forza e coraggio

Buongiorno Nicoula e buon giovedì mattino

This would destroy Steam Heat. Why didn't she sing this?

Il Nicoula che sarebbe tanto felice di rivedermi

When Mary is singing for real, she reminds me of Éthel Merman, but without the vocal power

Does anyone know which season and episode this one is from? Or the name of the episode? I would love to see the whole thing.

Ti auguro un buon weekend Nicoula l'uomo che a distanza di 5 anni gira sempre un po' nei miei pensieri come la canzone che vita è d'Irene Grandi

No datori di lavoro potete stare tranquilli sono single non sono sposato con figli

huhu the whole last 3 seasons are no longer on KZfaq

Scusa Nicoula ma tanto che ti piaccio?

Giulio scappa

Giulio io lo so che non eri in te quando hai scritto quelle cose e che eri solo arrabbiato

Nicoula Nicoula la gente quante risate si fa su di me riguardo te

I love the MTM Show, but one major thing I am disappointed about it is the fact that Mary doesn't really sing or dance in this show like she did on the Dick Van Dyke Show. In fact, Mary is supposed to be a bad singer in this series. I would have loved to see a thing like an annual WJM Talent Show episode where Ed, Mary, Gavin, Ted, and Betty White perform. Maude and Laverne & Shirley used to do musical episodes as a change of pace.

Eh Giulio quando scrivi.....

Io che Nicoula non so parlare con la direttrice del supermercato dove lavoro i miei genitori che mi dicono non avere Giulio come al solito paura delle persone

Lou Grant is a very mean guy.

Giulio Mucciacito che non sa sostenere un dialogo con nessuno poi con gli psicofarmaci andiamo bene Giulio Mucciacito che stai immobile e non parli

Nicoula Nicoula se per assurdo avessimo lavorato insieme nel tuo bar
