Lanie and Kathy did their homework for this episode and it shows! In an odd twist, Kathy, the laziest of students, came with a list that could rival the old NYC phone book. Laini, an eternally over-prepared Phi Beta Kappa, kept her list to a tight group of truly interesting guest stars. Is this episode long (ish)? Tes. Is that mostly Kathy's fault? Yes. Did we have a blast talking about pre-Fonzi Henry Winkler, pre-The West Wing Jon Amos, and Slim Pickens? HECK YES! Also discussed but not quite solved: Why is the MTM show a direct pipeline to the Love Boat? Seriously! WHY???

The cast of The Mary Tyler Moore Show be stylin' and we are HERE for it. From Ted's increasingly wild pattern combos to Phyllis's pantsuits, the show is and always will be a feast for the fashionista in all of us. Ever wonder who Mary's exclusive designer was? And then there is the matter of the sisterhood of the traveling shoes. And don't get us started on Murray's fabulous sweater collection. Too late! We already got very inVESTed. 
You know we had to do it. 

Welcome to We're Gonna Podcast Afterall!
