The Mary Tyler Moore Show/Tear Jerker

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Tear Jerkers in The Mary Tyler Moore Show include:

  • The series finale of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, for sure.
  • A different one for me: Murray has ghost-written an article for Ted, and it turns out to be his masterpiece. Ted stubbornly refuses to admit that Murray is the writer, until Lou confronts him, delivering the tearjerker line: "You're talking about a man who sold his name to buy a coat for his daughter."
