Mary Tyler Moore

Trivia: Mary Tyler Moore was very concerned about the fashion appearing on the show, if the hemline changed in Paris then a scene would be shot over again with the hemline of the dress/skirt changed accordingly.

Trivia: In the opening credits, the two joggers who pass Mary in the park are producers James L. Brooks and Allan Burns.

Trivia: Pat Finley aka Patte Finley appears in the role of Twinks. She also appears in 1-4 in the role of Sparkie. It is strange to have the same actress playing two different roles in the same season.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In the first episode, Mary gets the job as associate producer. Later in the series, Lou tells Mary that she got the job due to the awkward way she tried to cover a run in her nylon. At the job interview, Mary isn't even wearing pantyhose, she is wearing knee socks. You do not see her trying to cover up a run in her socks.
