Are you of age to remember the last moments of the opening segment of The Mary Tyler Moore Show? Our girl Mary, dazzled by the bustling megalopolis that is downtown Minneapolis, looks up at that iconic skyline and tosses her hat in sheer exuburance! Well this is the less enthusiastic, more downbeat, the '70's are long gone, New York City version of that moment. This scene was captured in Times Square, and begs the question . . . Are you really "gonna make it after all?"

Fuhgeddaboudit!

Default The guy in the blue shirt looks a bit like Lou Grant

"...a job is hard to find now, should you take it, your resume is old now, should you fake it, do ya think you'll make it after all, do ya think you'll make it after all..."

The 2010 "Updated" MMT theme song

They should do a 2010 New York City version of the Mary Tyler Moore Show with Wendy Williams as Mary Tyler More, Donald Trump as Lou Grant, and Will Farrow as Ted Baxter.

Default Mtm

played a good role of Sante Kimes on a TV show about the mother/son grifters in May 2001. She was also excellent in playing the self-centered, bottled- up mother in Ordinary People. She seemed more interesting playing more of a villain than on the prim and proper Mary Richards on the MTM show

Default instead of throwing up her

pocketbook in the air like at the end of the theme song, in 2010 she'll throw up her cellphone in the air

too bad Mad Magazine didn't do a spoof of the MTM show back in the day
