What is interesting to me is how "old" the cast of the MTM show looked relative to similar actors 40 years later. Bowen turned 46 last month, and MTM was 33 when the iconic shot was taken. Actually Bowen is around the same age Ed Asner was then. I have been watching some MTM show and looked up Asner and was shocked that I am actually older now than he was when he did the show.
Being in one's 40's in the 1970's, is a lot older than being in one's 40's in the 2010's. I don't know if it is because the 1970's people grew up in the Depression and WWII, or what.
To end, I saw a MTM episode with Phyllis as a main character in the episode and I thought to myself, I am getting old because Cloris Leachman looked good!
