Mary and Rhoda from television’s The Mary Tyler Moore Show are finally reunited. Mary returns to her native New York City following the death of her Congressman husband in a rock climbing accident. Similarly, Rhoda returns to New York City from Paris where she has just recently left and divorced her husband, Jean Pierre. Both Mary and Rhoda are trying to deal with their college-aged daughters. Mary’s daughter Rose is a student at New York University and Rhoda’s Meredith is pre-med at Columbia. They now face the challenges of motherhood and reestablishing their careers in a very difficult time. Once again, Mary and Rhoda take on these challenges by trusting their intuition with that distinct sense of humor and sophistication they made famous in the original television series.
