[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 416876, member: 57984"] What I find uncomfortable about the episode (rumors were rife that Lou and Mary were going to get married) is that during their climactic kiss, one senses that it's [I][B]Mary [/B][/I]who thinks there's no chemistry -- and Lou just goes along with the assessment. But that's probably just the Mary's-the-girl/Lou's-a-guy sort of thing. Carson's contract with NBC apparently established that he couldn't "appear" on another network (MTM was CBS) so they pulled a fast one by having Johnny on in the audio. NBC could have potentially gotten mad about this trick, but Carson was so powerful at that time that, given that he'd technically remained within the terms of his contract, there was nothing NBC could -- or would -- do. Later, Carson would host The Oscars for several years, despite it being on ABC. It was the only time MARY TYLER MOORE hit #1 for the week. Like Valene getting her babies back.
