I'm always a little late to the game, but the other day I saw this awesome bit of news on Joanna's wonderful Christmas TV Companion blog: The American Life Network is airing Phyllis weekdays at 10 am!!! This rare spinoff to The Mary Tyler Moore Show featured Cloris Leachman in a reprisal of her role as the quirky Phyllis. It's not as good as Rhoda (which is airing on ALN directly afterwards), but Leachman's wardrobe is something to drool over! Phyllis has been hard to come by these years, so if you have the chance, do check out the clothes...uh...show!

I completely forgot about Phyllis. Thanks Amanda, you rule!
That's what I'm here for Mitch, to make sure all your tv dreams come true!
The last (and arguably greatest) work of my all-time hero, Burt Mustin!
Mother Dexter is a great character!!
Joanna, it's funny you should bring up Mother Dexter. I just watched her in Cold Turkey with Bob Newhart. She was an absolute hoot!
Did you know that she actually passed away two weeks before her famous wedding episode aired? It's such a funny riff on the Rhoda wedding. That Phyllis!
