[QUOTE="James from London, post: 32761, member: 22"] Yes, in the same way that everybody in the UK knows (or knew) who Lucille Ball was, but without necessarily being able to put a finger on why. Generally speaking, I think Mary Tyler Moore made more of an impression on the UK consciousness than Lucy did, even though MTM was never a massive star here. There was a shortlived BBC sitcom about fifteen years ago called [I]Rhona[/I]. In the opening credits, the titular character attempted to reenact the opening credits of [I]The Mary Tyler Moore Show[/I], but with less success -- e.g., throwing her hat into the air but failing to catch it on the way down. [I]The[/I] [I]MTM[/I] [I]Show[/I] hadn't been seen here for years but somehow everyone got the reference. And [I]Ordinary People[/I] was a big movie here as well. [/QUOTE]
