No edit summary
(removed "trope namer" entry because the rename is so drastic)
Line 97:
* [[Official Couple]]: Ted and Georgette starting in the third season.
** In season 6 there was an attempt to give Mary a regular boyfriend, played by Ted Bessell, but the character was [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome|dropped without explanation]].
* [[Oh, Mr. Grant!]]: [[Trope Namer]].
** Note that this is a case where the [[Trope Namer]] does not actually employ said trope; the name comes from a writers-room joke.
* [[One-Sided Arm Wrestling]]: Subverted in that Lou would let the old man win.
* [[Plucky Office Girl]]: Mary, initially.
Line 106 ⟶ 104:
* [[Promotion to Opening Titles]]: Completely averted. Nobody but Mary Tyler Moore herself was ever named in the show's opening.
* [[Really Gets Around]]: Sue Ann Nivens.
* [[Required Spinoff Crossover]]: Mary appeared in several episodes of both ''[[Rhoda]]'' and ''Phyllis''. For Rhoda's [[Wedding Day]] two-parter on the former, *''all*'' of the ''MTM'' regulars (save for Ted and Sue Ann) showed up.
** Averted hard however on ''[[Lou Grant]]''. The only character from ''MTM'' to appear was three-time guest character Flo Meredith (Mary's aunt), played by Eileen Heckart.
* [[Reunion Show]]
