[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 399483, member: 5079"] [USER=57984]@Snarky Oracle![/USER] has beautifully expanded on both the show's vibe and how it perfectly fit the era, but cozy is a perfect descriptor. MTM is a wonderful series from beginning to end, but I find the feel and atmosphere of the early seasons to be somewhat magical: somehow autumnal with a hint of melancholy, but also very comfortable and snug. Yes, the apartment is a very important component of the series' success; it grounds the series in a firm sense of time and place. Too many shows feel like what they are -- actors on a set. Both of MTM's main set pieces feel real and alive, but particularly the apartment. Noting that you are deliberately not reading through the rest of the thread, there was a robust discussion about this some pages back. Officially the show is titled MARY TYLER MOORE but verbally it is usually referred to as THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW. Presumably this is to distinguish between show and actress. Easy enough to differentiate between MARY TYLER MOORE and Mary Tyler Moore in print, but not when speaking. [/QUOTE]
