In 1973, “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” The Twin Cities become the Sin Cities when Betty White makes her MTM debut in “The Lars Affair” as Sue Ann Nivens, the Happy Homemaker. Actually, happy home wrecker is more like it. Invited to one of Maryʹs classically disastrous parties, the ever-smiling Sue Ann offers her hostess some cleaning tips, then sweeps up Phyllisʹs never-seen dermatologist husband, Lars, and leaves the party with him. Mary and Rhoda (Valerie Harper) are baffled — Sue Ann, after all, is an unlikely seductress. In fact, sheʹs exactly the sort of woman youʹd leave for someone else. But Phyllis (Cloris Leachman) has the perfect explanation for her husbandʹs unfaithfulness: her own inexhaustible feminine allure. “Iʹve been too much of a real woman,” she declares. In the '70s, adultery was not an issue frequently handled on television, certainly not on a sitcom, but this cheating heart was served up with wit and style.
