Yes, she contributed to this nostalgic segment. BUT, near the top she should have kept her trap shut while Gavin was JUST GETTING UNDERWAY -- and getting emotional while doing so -- with his touching, precise anecdote about the "MTM" ep. where he received the most mail. About real life things so many can relate: a milestone birthday and its emotional pitfalls and "falling for" a coworker, someone you spend eight hours a day with. Surely he had something profound to say about Mary Tyler Moore and her aura on the set. Dammit if Joyce didn't blurt in, "Well, how do you think I felt?" What's more inexcusable is that it was 'Marie," her character she was referencing, not Joyce Bulifant. So, she was trying to be funny. It backfired, unfortunately at Gavin's -- and the audience's -- expense. Newsflash, Joyce -- there was plenty of time for you to express that. But not when Gavin "had the floor." All performers have egos; hers got in the way here and she couldn't resist jumping in, "stepping on his lines." Obviously we missed a great deal of what he'd intended to say. "Joyce, dear, would you please let me finish." -- a should-have-said moment.
My goodness, the pull and impact of Mary Tyler Moore. It will never diminish. She was unique, so important to so many people throughout their lives at different stages of their lives - the DVD Show, MTM Show and Ordinary People. How many actors can say they've had that kind of lasting impact? And are so beloved? A cultural icon, a transcendent shooting star blazing across the sky, seen, remembered, treasured.
Wow, they both looked great!! It's like they really hadn't aged. I always thought Murray and Marie were very convincing as a married couple, although she wasn't with him at every Teddy Awards ceremony or other events. Joyce did tell me awhile back that she was initially supposed to appear in the final episode but sadly, was not in it after all. Probably because they only had about 23-24 minutes to work with and adding one more character to that highly emotional wrap-up of the series just wasn't possible.
"Marie is really a bit jealous" -- we get that, but it certainly wasn't as meaningful, as impactful as if Joyce was jealous. And her "timing" was WAY OFF. ed. - please see my well-thought-out reply to "saltwatercb". We clearly get that Joyce and Gavin are friends. Yet near everybody and their cousin got a call from Aaron Spelling's casting director offering a guest spot on "The Love Boat." In all those years -- nine -- Joyce never did one episode, more-or-less a stunt-casting bit with "our captain, Capt. Stubbing" -- Gavin.
You stole my comments, I wanted to say that!! LOL! oh well, I'm sure millions of people feel the exact same way.. so, if I could, I'd give you 1 million thumbs up for expressing it for all of us.
As for Mary Tyler Moore, she was incredible in both "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "The Dick Van Dyke Show" . Personally, I found her to be a fine role model in handling diabetes. She lived to 80! If she could do that, with type 1, then people like myself (with type 2) can do it, too! To sum up my feelings about her, "She turned the world on with her smile" and "She made it after all." Sadly, we have just lost Gavin MacLeod. But I will see you in heaven someday, Gavin! I know you are with the Lord. You will be missed here. Joyce, I trust you are doing well and staying safe. You are an incredible comedienne.
Love Gavin Macleod I have a bunch of The Love Boat shows on my DVR! This way I get to zoom through the commercials! beyond a shadow of a doubt, Gavin Macleod is up in Heaven! And if *The Lord Jesus* , or his parents didn't greet him home, then Mary Tyler Moore Did . God Bless you Sir, and thank you for all those years you gave us! Starting when I was a child in the early 60's, watching " _McHale's Navy_ "and the 70's " _The Mary Tyler Moore Show_ " and then.... " _Love Boat_ ! There's so many great things you did in between, before and after your great iconic TV series.. Again.. Thank you Mr. Macleod...Can I call you Gavin? ⛪✝
That would be so ordinary; every adult male had a navy blue blazer -- almost -- back in the day when people "dressed." No; I suspect it was the light blue. I think I read an interview with Ted Knight where he stated it was indeed the powder blue that seems so identifiable as what people associated TV newsmen to wear, i.e., a little flashier than the norm. I think the rest of the anecdote was that Ted had to borrow the money to buy the sport coat as he was enduring a 'lean period' that so often happens with actors and actresses -- unless they have the security of a series. . . . . How fortunate he happened to be driving past that menswear shop AND the display was the clothing item that caught Ted's eye. I enjoyed this talk; wish it was full length.
It’s so touching to see them here together.
Rest In Peace Gavin Macleod 1931-2021. I’ll always remember you as Murray Slaughter on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”
The other two living actors of the MTM show: Ed Asner (born 1929) and Betty White (1922). And Joyce
@@melreslor2114 John Amos (Gordy Howard) is still around, too. Sadly now, all the main cast members are deceased.
Gavin should have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Thanks for all the years of entertainment.
I am glad The Love Boat got an honorary star, but I agree with you. He deserves his own.
NO STAR??? That's insane.. if anyone Gavin Macleod should have one! ⭐
What a pleasure to hear Joyce Bulifant's charming voice in the present day! She is peaches through and through.

Nice to see Gavin and Joyce looking so great.
I love Gavin!!!
I got to meet Gavin a few years ago and he was the kindest gentleman and was happy to chat. It was a great experience.
Thanks Gavin, RIP!

well said!
I loved that show sooooo much and everyone in it.

Mr McLeod a dear man and He will never be forgotten and Ms. Joyce amazing too
One of the great things about TV series is that people sort of become their characters. Marie is really a bit jealous. We love that!

The last one standing out of the original McHale's Navy.
what a great interview! i love hearing stories from MTM
You stole my comments, I wanted to say that!! LOL! oh well, I'm sure millions of people feel the exact same way.. so, if I could, I'd give you 1 million thumbs up for expressing it for all of us.
@@hankaustin7091 Thank you, you are a real sweetheart!
Gavin's work on Hogan's Heroes was hilarious. He's had a hell of a career from McHale's Navy and Hogan's all the way to King of Queens.
They both seem like genuinely good people.
Andy Griffith nailed him robbing that Bank tho. !! Loved that Episode !!

This is the same Joyce I remember from Match Game. Her voice is the same! I had such a baby crush on you!
Joyce B looks adorable as ever! But...........RIP Mr MacLeod.

RIP Gavin.
More! More!! Is there a link to the full interview?
No. But we will be posting more clips on our Facebook page, so stay tuned!
@@palmspringslifemag Post them here on TH-cam please.. not all of us use Facebook.
GM RIP
Rest in Peace
🥰🥰🥰
RIP, Gavin MacLeod.
Can anyone tell us which MTM episode that was that Murray thought he was in love with Mary?
Barry White is now the only surviving member alive!
I wonder if it was a navy blue blazer?

Sounded like Gavin's mike wasn't working.
Being a veteran performer, Joyce should have known better than to keep placing her hands over her heart -- repeatedly spoiling the audio.
How very very strange this looks and sounds.
