    I rest my case.

    Always sad to hear it when I find this out about people...

    "John Quilty, her friend and executor, said the cause was undetermined because Ms. Engel, who was a Christian Scientist, did not consult doctors."

    Holy crap, when your screen name is MTM, and screw it up this badly....Honestly, I think you need to self-ban from posting for one week. :)

    RIP and all, but I thought that the Georgette character was completely lacking.

    After Rhoda and Phyllis left the show, Georgette was made to be Mary's BFF. Good god, the show dragged with scenes with Georgette the focal point.

    Nope. She was Pat MacDougall, mother of Amy Barone and Peter MacDougall on "Raymond".

    When MTM first aired, Ted Knight was 48 and Georgia Engel was 24 (although when I was a kid, I think I saw Georgette as an old lady). Was that age difference ever a plot line or even mentioned?

    IMO, it was about as close to Shark time as you could get for MTM.

    The Georgette character WAS the joke, that such a nice soft-spoken person would be paired with arrogant loudmouth Ted Baxter. I don't know if Engel ever did a cable show, but it would be hilarious to hear her go on an f-bomb fueled rant on someone.
