I hope the two of them are enjoying a happy reunion...God bless them both.

MrMatt · 07-17-2009, 11:45 PM

Yes indeed. I always liked how Ted revered Mr. Cronkite

"I never thought I'd be saying this. Ted Baxter, Walter Cronkite." RIP. I'll prob. watch that ep. tonight in his memory.

Ted Baxter meeting Walter Cronkite was a great episode, and Walter played his part very smoothly...I'll read the obits tomorrow, but he was so good in his TMTMS cameo it wouldn't surprise me if he had summer stock or minor acting experience.

I loved it when he told Lou, "I'll get you for this" at the end of that episode.

It's sad when these giants pass on...and I include Ted Knight in that category in regards to situation comedy for the Ted Baxter role. God bless both of them!

Same here, Kristen.

Ever notice how watching a Mary Tyler Moore Show episode can sometimes be like burrowing down under a warm blanket on a cold winter night?

Just ... pure ... comfort.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

I thought about that when I heard Walter died. I will probably watch "Ted Baxter Meets Walter Cronkite" soon too.

Which season was that one from again?

Walter Cronkite was on Mary Tyler Moore? How cool is that?!!! MTM doesn't ever air around here, but I wish it did. I'd like to see this episode.

The episode is on season four and is called "Ted Baxter Meets Walter Cronkite."

Funny, funny episode. We watched it Friday night.

I'll have to check that one out again, thanks! Which season did Betty Ford appear on?

I watched this episode off of my 4th season DVD set last night. It had been awhile since I had seen it. Very funny.

Berry Ford appears on the season 6 episode called "The Seminar."

Trivia: This episode is directed by Stuart Margolin, who played Jim's friend "Angel" on "The Rockford Files."

Andrea,
If you have Netflix, you can rent Season 4, disc 3, and watch it there. Or else check your local library. Unfortunately, only seasons 1-3 are availible to watch online at the moment. Hopefully once more seasons are released on DVD, they'll post the rest online.
