why do the history of mary and rhoda have to be so dour . divorce woman with indifferent daughter . and why very little reference to the original show and character . the daughter character be silly and uninteresting . why can not there ever be daughter who like their mother on tv . it make sense that mary would leave minneapolis and and rhoda would return to nyc and but why couldn not phyllis or sue ann nivens be guest star . it just seem a pitiful way to remember such wonderful character . it be good to see mary and rhoda together of course and but it could have be good and much good . well and there have be a mary tyler moore show reunion and a dick van dyke show reunion and hopefully mary will do good next time if she revisit her old mary richards stomp ground again .
