“Hot in Cleveland” Hosts “Mary Tyler Moore” Reunion
Published at
Kevin Winter/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) — For the first time since The Mary Tyler Moore show ended in 1977, its female stars were reunited on the small screen.
On Wednesday night’s season finale of Hot in Cleveland, star Betty White and recurring guest and fellow Moore vet Georgia Engel joined Mary Tyler Moore, Valerie Harper and Cloris Leachman.
On the TV Land show, the women played former members of a bowling team, the Gorgeous Ladies of Bowling, or GLOB, who get back together after their success led to an ugly break-up.
It was the first time the five former MTM castmates have been in front of the camera together since the finale of The Mary Tyler Moore Show in 1977.
The two-part, hour-long finale also featured George Hamilton as a professor and Modern Family‘s Jesse Tyler Ferguson as a director that Wendie Malick’s character, Victoria, tries to impress.
Craig Ferguson played a priest who officiates at Victoria’s prison wedding — and turns out to be the father of the son Jane Leeves’ Joy gave up for adoption.
And if those developments weren’t surprising enough, Valerie Bertinelli’s Melanie found out she’s unexpectedly pregnant.
