MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW, THE {GAG REEL} {FINAL SEASON} (TV)

Summary

This program features a series of outtakes from the final (1976-1977) season of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show." Highlights include an original song about the merits of "Moore," sung by Ted Knight, Ed Asner and Gavin MacLeod; repeatedly-flubbed lines from Knight and others; a series of slapstick moments involving food, including a pie or two to the face; witty moments with Moore and Betty White; writer Stan Daniels' Yiddish-accented, "spoken-word" performance of "Old Man River" from the musical "Showboat," performed for the amused studio audience; and an affectionate moment of flowers and good-bye hugs from one of the final tapings.
