Thank you so much for posting this. Since I am truly disabled getting to enjoy intelligent, and quality former tv shows that are something like plays makes me so glad to get to see this. You have made one isolated fellow more satisfied.
I worked in newspapers for 19 years and in television for 27 years, but nothing beats a quality broadsheet. But sadly so many papers today lack that quality and are riddled with the most basic of errors. Thank heavens for papers like The New York Times and The Guardian in Britain.
@@mark-shane -It was a Joke?! You never heard of The Sopranoes. Nancy Marhand who plays Mrs. Pynchon here would later go on to play Tony' Sopranos's MOther in The Sopranos
@@HoldenNY22 Thanks for the explanation. I never watched the Sopranos so I had no clue what your comment meant. Always a good day when I learn something new. 🙂👍
@@patpeters6331 - The Sopranos was a great show. Tony Soprano is defintely an Anti-Hero if not the Villian many times. A very flawed protagonist. Nancy Marchand did a great job playing his mother. till unfortunately she liked her character died. You should try to watch it.
Oh dear, even in 'Lou Grant' a comparison to Rape that suggest Rape is not as bad as it is. 'Billie' compares the takeover to "Rape" which, tho annoying, is not as Soul Destroying as Rape.
It would be so much better if the "newspapers" concerned with only turning a profit (invariably Reagan-Trump Party rags and tabloids) instead of serving the public interest which deserve to fail. Those, at brass tacks, are not newspapers in the sense of informing their readers; they're, as Mrs. Pynchon's nephews would say, nothing more than a means of providing a dividend to their shareholders, and a sizable ill-gotten one at that. Regrettably, this true in far too many cities these days. Frankly, I would like to see such weekly newspapers as the "New Times" (in south Florida), "The Other Paper" (in Columbus), "Dayton City Paper" and "Folioweekly" (in Jacksonville), to name a few, become daily broadsheets in those areas and mount a real challenge to the profit-driven rags and overtake them.
Newspapers are businesses and many of them have folded because they were not run as businesses by employees and management when they could have and survived
six years later. they didn't fold. they were monopolized. 90% of media owned by 6 corps-orations. There's no news it's regurgitating be elite propaganda and programming

Great episode! Nancy Marchand won the Emmy in 1978 as supporting actress in a drama series for this episode!
+Mrs. Phyllis Stephens Yes, I know. thanks
I didn't know. Thank you for sharing.🙏 I love that actress!
~The ending gave me goosebumps!
Ted Baxter waiting for you Lou on line one
Hahah true I wish they made a ted Baxter show.
I'm having a ball with this one. Oh yeah, thanks for fast-forwarding the tape.
The fast forwarding of the commericals......I kinda miss the VCR days......🤣
I'd like to see the kitty litter one.
LOL at Mrs. Pynchon blowing a kiss at the end of the meeting. 6:29

Airdate 6 Dec. 1977. 18:35 Story of the Scorpion and Frog, the one ripped off in the inferior film Crying Game.

New York Times is a liberal rag
@@mikealvord55 A well written liberal rag....but yes, a liberal rag nonetheless.
Rossi's Norma Rae moment.
Back when you had to drink to be acceptable. I'd tell Miss P "Sure, as long as I can drink a Dew"
I don't drink and I don't know a Scotch from anything else! Lol

I think Mrs. Pynchon should get her son- Tony- Tony Soprano to take care of those 2 Pesky Nephews of her.
The nephews would have been running the paper within 3 years of that meeting ! Owner was of a different age

Pynchon's Margaret Sanger comment- ouch!
Melting his butter..... For the love of..... Probably the oddest euphemism for sex that I have ever heard.
I have an urge to eat some Smuckers
LOL!
You know, somebody called here last night after dark ... You think I’d answer, it was dark out!
Did this episode lose a segment?

They mock glasses nerd, but he was ready to buy Taco Bell. PepsiCo bought it later that same year and we all know how that turned out.
How do you get 49% of a vote when 10 people are voting?
New math! 😂
49% of voting STOCK. You need to pay attention to the details.
Linda Kelsey was good 😊 n this show.
An example of why newspapers are failing ...with an owner who doesn't care about making a profit
