Yes, it was changed because at the beginning of the series, Mary Tyler Moore was married to Richard Meeker in real life, and so his name was used as a sort of in-joke, but when they divorced a few years later, Laura's maiden name was quietly changed to Meehan. Hope that helps! Kristen ------------------ (After Mary's famous job interview) Lou Grant:You know what? You've got spunk! Mary Richards:Well, yes. Lou Grant:I HATE SPUNK!!!
