A Quote by Mark Frost

People forget that in the early '70s, Saturday was the most-watched night of television of the week. It was where you found 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' and 'All in the Family.'

I grew up watching 'The Jeffersons' and 'Good Times' as much as I watched The Mary Tyler Moore Show' and 'All in the Family.'

Eddie Griffin

My dad would have me watch the shows that he liked. I watched 'I Love Lucy.' I watched 'The Dick Van Dyke Show.' I watched 'M*A*S*H' and 'Mary Tyler Moore' and 'Bob Newhart' and 'Taxi' and 'Cheers.'

Dan Schneider

I watched a lot of old television growing up - a lot of Nick at Nite. I watched 'Rhoda', 'Mary Tyler Moore', and 'I Love Lucy.' Growing up, I loved 'My So Called Life' and was devastated when that went off the air.

Mamie Gummer

'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' was the best television, the best cast, the best-written television show ever.

Bob Newhart

When I was growing up my favorite show was 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show', and I loved all the stuff that Norman Lear did.

Ryan Murphy

I was trying to be Mary Tyler Moore. I loved her in 'The Dick Van Dyke Show.'

Vicki Lawrence

I love watching old sitcoms. It's very inspiring to watch 'Mary Tyler Moore' and 'Golden Girls.' I have watched them over and over again for years.

People are out of their home on a Saturday night or they're at the movies or they're at dinner and a lot of the people who flip on the television are doing just that. They may have never seen your show before and you can't count on to your audience to be there week in and week out.

David E. Kelley

Arguably, the first five years of 'Saturday Night Live' were some of the most radical things ever seen on television. When NBC said, 'Okay, you can do a show from 11:30 to 1 on Saturday night,' they didn't think anyone would watch. It was like giving a piece of the candy store to the kids.

Richard Belzer

I see myself as Rhoda, not Mary Tyler Moore.

Iris Murdoch

'Mary Tyler Moore' was - it was my first big hit.

Betty White

In the opening to the Mary Tyler Moore Show Mary's in the supermarket, hurrying through the aisles. She pauses at the meat case, picks up a steak and checks the price. Then rolls her eyes, shrugs and tosses it in the cart. That's kind of how I feel. Sure I would have liked things to be different. But, 'roll of eyes' what can you do? 'shrug' I threw the meat in my cart and moved on.

Augusten Burroughs

When ["Wonder Woman" creator William Moulton] Marston died in 1947, they got rid of the pervy elements, and instantly sales plummeted. Wonder Woman should be the most sexually attractive, intelligent, potent woman you can imagine. Instead she became this weird cross between the Virgin Mary and Mary Tyler Moore that didn't even appeal to girls.

Grant Morrison

One week before my 17th birthday, I had a blind date with June Rose, a television actress on network soap operas, a model, and a regular on the popular Dick Clark's Saturday night 'American Bandstand' show from New York. We were married five years later, one week after my graduation from Columbia.
