Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
Another crisis hits the WJM newsroom when two TV unions go on strike at once. Boss Lou Grant (Edward Asner) is only mildly upset that troublesome anchorman Ted Baxter (Ted Knight) is on the picket line, but he really begins to worry when newswriter Murray Slaughter (Gavin MacLeod) likewise refuses to show up for work. The result is, Mary (Mary Tyler Moore) is pressed into service writing copy -- and Lou is obliged to read the news on the air, a job he can only face up to when fortified with booze. "Thoroughly Unmilitant Mary" originally aired on November 6, 1971.

About This Guide
This episode guide brings together the episode runtime, synopsis, series context, and nearby episode navigation for The Mary Tyler Moore Show. That gives readers and search engines a clearer relationship between the episode and the parent series instead of treating the page as an isolated record.
Editorial Take
Thoroughly Unmilitant Mary is presented as an episode-level guide that still keeps the parent series context visible, which is important because isolated episode pages can otherwise feel detached and thin. This episode sits at position 47 out of 169, so the page can answer both the runtime question and the progress question at the same time. The 30m runtime is especially useful here because episode search intent is often much more time-sensitive than general series search intent.
