Re-Run - The Mary Tyler Moore Show

This week on "the worst of the best," Stephen takes us through an episode of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" that didn’t quite hit its usual comedic mark. Titled "Son of 'But Seriously Folks,'" the episode features Jerry Van Dyke as Wes Callison, a comedian who tries to give up stand-up comedy for a job at WJM. While Van Dyke’s performance shines with his trademark humor, the episode struggles to maintain the series' typically sharp comedic pacing and character development. Tune in for a lively analysis of the highs and lows in the life of a TV classic.Send us feedback about the show on BlueSky at @thosedaysshow.bsky.social or email us [email protected] us on socials!StephenAmyAudieTvsTravisThose Were The Days on BlueSkySend us a Voicemail!Support 2Dorks on PatreonJoin us every Monday at 9pm ET on Twitch to watch live!Send us feedback to @thosedaysshow.bsky.social or [email protected] on BlueSkySend us a Voicemail!LIVE Mondays at 9pm ET Hosted on Acast.
