Nancy and Sluggo and Ted

From The Mary Tyler Moore Show episode “Just Around the Corner” (October 28, 1972). Mary and Murray (Gavin MacLeod) have been talking about newspapers. Ted (Ted Knight) jumps in:

“Oh [clears throat ], I don’t care much for them myself.”

Murray: “Ah, he’s very blasé now, but you shoulda seen him run and grab the paper when he heard Nancy and Sluggo broke up.”

[Yes, Ernie Bushmiller described his readers as “the gum chewers.” But Nancy is not for dopes alone. I’ve seen nothing more about Ted and Nancy, but a later episode identifies him as a Three Stooges fan.]
