Mary Tyler Moore Show-Ed Asner/Priscilla Morill M/F

[Mitchell]

In the episode of Happy Birthday Lou! Which is Season 4. episode 15 of the series. ..

TV station boss Lou Grant, has been split up from his wife, Edie, and she comes to visit him at the station for his birthday.

They are kidding around, and Lou proceeds to tickle his wife, played by actress Priscilla Morill, and is chasing her. She clearly has a reaction, and is backing away, giggling, and such.

This is a different episode from the one where Ed Asner tickles Mary Tyler Moore/Mary Richards, and she says "Not ticklish Mr Grant".

Again, the episode is on Youtube, Mary Tyler Moore Show, Season 4, Episode 15.

For those that want to fast forward to it, the tickling begins about 12 minutes into a 27 minute episode and continues for a while.

I remember seeing this many years ago when it was first broadcast. Thanks for bringing back the memory. 😀

Mary was tickled briefly on the Dick Van Dyke show, in her bed. Dick tries to get her up and tickles her sides, she had a grimace and squirmy reaction, pretty quick, gorgeous woman. Of course the clip of Millie, her friend, saying she would keep a secret even if they stretched her out on a rack and tickled her feet with feathers is a classic, on youtube.

The only tickling I remember involving Mary was on the MTM show. As I recall, Ed Asner, as Lou Grant, tries to tickle Mary's midsection/ribs, and she says

"Not ticklish, Mr Grant".

I know it was mentioned on here a while ago, but I dont remember exactly when or where.

The tickling was horrible, but it was tickling so (as a very young man) I loved it. I also loved when the straight-faced Mary asked Lou: "Would you like to borrow a feather?"

I remember seeing that and you're right the tickling was weak. Lou basically put his hands on Mary's waist, and hardly moved his fingers at all. My theory is since the scene called for Mary not to react, Lou(Ed) was probably careful not to really tickle Mary's ribs. If he did she probably would've laughed or moved. So when you think about it this scene w/the lame tickling attempts actually proves that Mary really is ticklish.

I think about this EVERY time I see it. And even still, she was slightly grinning and doing that thing where she blinks really quickly to try not to laugh. She's done that since the dick van dyke show. It's one of her tells.

There was one where a blind date comes over and is trying desperately to make her laugh and when his jokes fall flat he tickles her right in the side and she actually burst into laughter. It was pretty quick but sufficient confirmation between the laugh and being stuck smiling after from the genuine surge of oxytocin, serotonin and dopamine. Mary was apparently very ticklish.

Does anyone have the clip?

I'd like to see the clip of Mary being tickled on that blind date
