Week of Sept. 19: Oh, Mr. Grant! And Emmy Stuff

Mary Tyler Moore and Betty White will be presenters at this Sunday's Emmy Awards, a good excuse to go back and look at one of the all-time great television sitcoms.

Hulu has the first three seasons of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show":

"The Lars Affair," in which Betty White made her debut as Sue Ann Nivens, the Happy Homemaker with more than a touch of arsenic, would be shown in Season 4, but here's a YouTube clip about the character:

Speaking of Emmys, did you know that Betty White's first Emmy nomination came in 1951? That's one of the fun facts you can find out by looking at the database of past Emmy awards:
