MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW, THE: WILL MARY RICHARDS GO TO JAIL? {FIFTH SEASON PREMIERE} (TV)
Summary
One in this comedy series about Mary Richards, a single career woman working in a television newsroom. In this episode, Mary is in charge of the newsroom when an accountant comes in with information about a major financial scandal, giving WJM an exclusive on the story. Soon an agent at the Department of Justice asks Mary to reveal the name of her source to a grand jury. She refuses on the grounds of journalistic integrity, and the judge tells her that if she does not change her mind by Monday she will go to jail. Sue Ann plans a party with a jail theme, and Mary shares her dilemma with Lou Grant: she believes in press freedom, but she is afraid to go to jail. Commercials deleted.
