Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNanette Fabray has stated in interviews that she was overjoyed to be cast as Mary's mother and hoped this would lead to her and Bill Quinn playing Walt and Dottie Richard's on a recurring basis. However, Fabray was dismayed that after only a couple of appearances their characters never appeared again, and would become offscreen characters for the rest of the series. Fabray felt that perhaps Mary Tyler Moore and she did not develop a good on-screen chemistry and thus the character was dropped. Fabray asked Moore years later as to why her character never continued and was assured by Moore it had nothing to do with her performance although Fabray was never quite sure that was not the reason.

Featured review
Kind of awkward
The series often did well with exploring awkward social foibles and depicting (usually) Mary's attempts to navigate embarrassing situations.
This happens here when her father suddenly retires, and the parents move to Minneapolis - just around the corner from Mary's in fact. Soon they are watching Mary's every move and wanting to know where she's going, when she'll be home.
The parents are kind of annoying. Dottie (Nanette Fabray) can't stop with the 'people think Mary and I are sisters' angle and Walter (Bill Quinn) is a neat freak but never satisfied. (Rhoda's mother was annoying too, but funnier.)
Mary is seen returning from her date at 8.27 am the next day.
