Plot summary
In a recurrence of the girls finding dates for each other for their annual birthday celebration, Victoria meets a famous independent film director ( Jesse Tyler Ferguson ) with a strange physical trait, Joy is set up with one of her college professors ( George Hamilton ) who is more interested in Elka, while Melanie "hits the jackpot" by dating a plastic surgeon ( Edward Kerr ). Elka and Mamie Sue decide to get their 1963 championship bowling team back together for a 50th anniversary dinner, as their remaining three teammates ( Mary Tyler Moore, Valerie Harper and Cloris Leachman ) all return to Cleveland.
Note: This episode is a reunion of several stars from The Mary Tyler Moore Show. The episode title is a nod to the TV show's theme song. At the end of the final scene, the camera pans to a kitten sitting in a window, which meows. This is a homage to the MTM Enterprises logo.
