Both classics, but by the time of those episodes, almost every episode ended up being a classic. It truly did deserve its four consecutive Emmys as Best Comedy Series.

Mary's disastrous parties and the yearly Teddy Awards banquets were always highlights of the show.

It does, but it's always good. Its excellence sustains despite cast changes during the seven years.

I believe Cloris won one of her Emmys for "The Lars Affair," and I think Mary submitted "Chuckles Bites the Dust" as her Emmy submission episode that season and won for it.

I watched every show Mary tried after her big successes to the bitter end (and they all ended bitterly).

BTW, Mary tried several more times for TV success: a variety show, a sitcom or two, and a dramedy, but nothing seemed to click for her. A shame because she had so much more to offer.

Rhoda began well, but I didn't think its final seasons were very good (after she and Joe split up). I loved Phyllis' first season, but when Judith Lowry passed away after season one and the show got revamped a bit, it was less funny. Lou Grant was an excellent dramatic series.
