Lou Grant: [In an attempt at trying to have Mr. Grant be friends with her father, Mary goes out to lunch with both men] I'd like a vodka martini. What do you want to drink, Mary?
Mary Richards: Oh, gosh, I dunno. I got a lot of work to do this afternoon. If I have a drink, I won't be any good.
Lou Grant: If I don't have a drink, I won't be any good.

Featured review
Worried About Dad
This is kind of a touching episode with Mary trying to find a friend for her father, who doesn't seem to be reacting to retirement very well. Trying to get him and Lou together does not work out so well. They are polar opposites. Her father is really a kind of cold fish and doesn't like to talk very much. He was a surgeon and has a rather harsh view of petty things. Mary's solution to this is to have a nice dinner with only her father, so they can reconnect. Apparently, because of his profession, he missed a lot of little things as she was growing up. On another front, there is a great scene where Ted shows up for work looking like a bum. He isn't shaved and he is wearing dirty clothes. Apparently, his insurance won't cover his yearly check-up, so he went to a free clinic for poor people. When Lou sees him, Lou's response is hilarious.
