Featured review
50 years on, this one's a keeper.
I was a regular MTM watcher in the first few years, and this is the episode I remember best. Geek with a crush was a novelty back then as a romantic lead, as opposed to some clownish regular cast member's crush of the week, and even as a high schooler I noticed Paul Sand's endearing comic chops. (His trench coat looked like he picked it up at Lt. Columbo's yard sale.) Sand's kept fitfully busy in movies and TV over the decades but I don't think I saw him in anything after this. His performance, together with Mary's and Rhoda's and the unforgettable chocolate-to-hips, made all the show's subsequent coulda-been romances seem flat and formulaic. For me, this is the best episode to keep the focus on Mary's home life.
