Mary Tyler Moore hosts a retrospective of The Mary Tyler Moore Show and conducts one-on-one interviews with surviving cast members Ed Asner, Gavin MacLeod, Betty White, Valerie Harper, Cloris Leachman and Georgia Engel, to reminisce about their time together on the show and featuring a montage of clips from past episodes. A special tribute segment to the late Ted Knight is also included with memorable scenes highlighting his character as Ted Baxter.[2]
