Okay, let's talk about something important. Something that keeps me up at night. Is the iconic The Mary Tyler Moore Show on Netflix?
The answer, sadly, is usually no. I know, I know. It's a tragedy. A sitcom sin!
The Streaming Status: A Rollercoaster
Figuring out where to watch Mary Richards navigate her career and love life is tricky. It's like trying to find a decent parking spot downtown on a Saturday. Frustrating, right?
Sometimes it pops up on Hulu. Other times, maybe Paramount+. It's a streaming service guessing game. Honestly, I'm terrible at guessing games.
And don't even get me started on the "available for purchase" option. I already pay for, like, five streaming services! Do I really need to *buy* a show from the 70s?
My Unpopular Opinion (Brace Yourselves!)
Here's where I might lose some of you. I'm about to confess something potentially scandalous. I'm not sure The Mary Tyler Moore Show *needs* to be on Netflix.
Gasp! I said it! Hear me out though.
Netflix is a sea of content. Shows come and go faster than my motivation to go to the gym. Would Mary Tyler Moore get lost in the shuffle?
Think about it. Binge-watching culture is real. Would we truly appreciate the show's wit and charm if we're inhaling five episodes before bed?
Maybe its absence from Netflix forces us to be more intentional. To seek it out. To savor each episode like a perfectly frosted cupcake from Mary's famous parties.
Where *Can* You Find It?
Don't worry, I'm not leaving you high and dry. There are definitely ways to get your Mary Tyler Moore fix. A little digging might be required.
Check those other streaming services! Hulu and Paramount+ often rotate it in. Keep an eye out for special deals or promotions.
Good old-fashioned DVDs are an option too. Remember those? Dust off your player and settle in for a nostalgic viewing experience. Plus, no buffering!
And don't forget about those cable channels that sometimes air classic sitcoms. Check your local listings! You might just stumble upon an episode unexpectedly.
Let's Be Honest...
Part of the fun is the hunt, isn't it? The thrill of finding a hidden gem. The satisfaction of finally settling in to watch Mary toss her hat into the air.
Maybe the elusiveness of The Mary Tyler Moore Show on Netflix makes it even more special. Like a rare and precious treasure.
So, while I secretly wish it *was* readily available, I also kind of appreciate its current status. It forces me to be a more discerning viewer. And to appreciate the classics.
Besides, searching for it gives me something to talk about. Something other than the weather. Or my questionable fashion choices. So, thanks, Mary!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to scour the internet. Wish me luck!
