- Quotes
[Mary and Lou are hustling around the newsroom, upset that Murray has been out to lunch all afternoon]
Mary Richards: Oh, well, I just don't believe it - 4:30 and Murray is still not back from lunch?
Lou Grant: Doesn't he know that we have a show to get on the air?
Ted Baxter: You know, it's fascinating. Here in Minneapolis/St. Paul, it's 4:30 and we're hard at work. In New York, it's the cocktail hour, and the lights are beginning to twinkle on the Great White Way. And, in London, smartly dressed theater-goers are strolling down the Strand for a late supper at the Savoy. And in Tokyo, it's tomorrow. Actually tomorrow! Do you realize there are people alive here in Minneapolis who are already dead in Tokyo?

Performed by Gavin MacLeod
Ted and Georgette try to match recently divorced friend Judith (Barbara Barrie) with Lou at one of Mary's parties. When they learn Lou is taken they leave Judith with Murray while they find someone else for her. But there's a strong attraction between Judith and Murray, and Murray is sorely tempted. He seeks advice from the others, which elicits much of the comedy.
Overall the main storyline is well acted. Gavin MacLeod is also quite a decent singer.
