TV Quote of the Day (‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show,’ With Lou on What Mary’s Parties Are Like)

Lou Grant [played by Ed Asner]: “It's not that I don't have a good time at your parties, Mary. I've had some of the worst times in my life. Agony.”—The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Season 4, Episode 10, “The Dinner Party,” original air date November 17, 1973, teleplay by Ed. Weinberger, directed by Jay Sandrich

This particular party must have been pretty bad. Even Ted Baxter (played by Ted Knight) is consoling Lou!
