Mary's Bad Day

I've been watching old episodes of the Mary Tyler Moore show. My favorite so far is Put on a Happy Face. Mary is determined to get to an awards show even though she is sick, has no date, and her dress gets ruined. She doesn't think she'll win a Teddy. She just thinks that it's ungracious of her to go. Her week unravels from three. I had hoped that Mary would maintain her sunny disposition proving that she wouldn't turn into Rhoda just because things go wrong. The show implies that she is only Mary just because things go so well for her and she can't seem to handle even having a bad day. However, it was probably the funniest show I've ever seen of hers; even topping the chuckle the clown episode.
