Lou puts Mary in charge of overseeing the news broadcast covering the Minneapolis mayoral election returns, but the ferocious snowstorm hitting the city takes out the teletype machines and telephones making return reports impossible to report. Mary has to find creative ways to keep the broadcast going. This episode marks the debut of the mostly off-screen character Chuckles the Clown, WJM-TV's children's show host - played here by Richard Schaal, who would play so many different roles in this series. This episode originally aired on CBS on Saturday, November 7, 1970. (Note: The mayor of Minneapolis in 1970 was not named Mitchell or Turner but was Charles Stenvig, who had been elected in 1969.)
