Actors Mary Tyler Moore and Ted Knight laugh in a still from “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” in 1976.

By Jesse Baker/NPR Mary Tyler Moore played the girl who could turn the world on with her smile. The actress is beloved for two TV roles: the single young professional Mary Richards on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” and before that, the earnest homemaker Laura Petrie on “The Dick Van Dyke Show.”

Moore died Wednesday at the age of 80, her longtime representative told NPR. “Today, beloved icon Mary Tyler Moore passed away at the age of 80 in the company of friends and her loving husband of over 33 years, Dr. S. Robert Levine,”

Mara Buxbaum said in an email. “A groundbreaking actress, producer and passionate advocate for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Mary will be remembered as a fearless visionary who turned the world on with her smile.”

In 1995, 25 years after “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” first aired, the actress clearly recalled shooting the scenes for its memorable opening credits. “It was freezing cold,” she told WHYY’s “Fresh Air.” “It was in Minneapolis in January, I think. We didn’t know what

MULL IT OVER

As ratings decline, Super Bowl saves NFL

By David Mullen Now that the NFL playoffs are over and the resilient, battle-tested New England Patriots will play the upstart, high-powered Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, Feb. 5 at NRG Stadium in Houston in Super Bowl LI, something has emerged that may have caught the NFL off guard. Fewer and fewer people really care.

The Super Bowl is not just another playoff game.

It is a national — becoming worldwide — holiday rivaling Thanksgiving and Christmas as a gathering of friends and family. I doubt that Fox is overly concerned that this Super Bowl could be a ratings letdown.

They can bank on huge viewership numbers from the number eight media market Boston and number nine market Atlanta. It’s not like the Buffalo Bills (53rd market) are playing the New Orleans Saints (51).

On a national basis, the Patriots are the fourth most watched team in America. Atlanta is the 23rd most watched team.

The Dallas Cowboys are far and away the number one watched team in the U.S. The Super Bowl is consistently the highest rated program of the year, and advertisers have already paid a reported $5 million per 30-second spot.

And that doesn’t include production costs, or paying celebrities appearing in the 2017 commercials like Justin Timberlake, Melissa McCarthy, Tom Brady, John Malkovich, Adam Driver and Jon Lovitz (oops, I meant real celebrities) an endorsement fee.

The cause for pause is

Photo courtesy of realpropertymgt.com

Super Bowl Sunday is among America's biggest party days. that the once bullet-proof playoff ratings — as well as the ratings for regular season games- were down this season. In this year’s playoffs, eight of the 10 games had fewer viewers than compared to the previous season. The late window Sunday AFC Championship game — the Patriots versus Pittsburgh Steelers — was nearly one point ahead of last year’s Sunday night NFC Championship matchup between the less-than-compelling Carolina Panthers and the Arizona Cardinals.

Not surprisingly, the divisional playoff tilt between the Cowboys and Green Bay Packers was the only other game to top last year’s comparison game. By the way, the Cowboys had the most watched games among the four networks (Fox, CBS, NBC and ESPN) that televise the NFL regular season games.

There is little doubt that the NFL is in a bit of a PR crisis. Fans have started questioning the violence especially head-to-head contact leading to concussions. They tune out when another player gets arrested for domestic abuse, driving under the influence or taking a gun into “The Club.”

They are not into watching games where second and third string quarterbacks faceoff. And the ratings took a hit when commissioner Roger Goodell waffled on a stance about San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick sitting down during the National Anthem.

Don’t cry for the NFL billionaire owners and Goodell. They will get their money. It is the Super Bowl.

But in the future, they just might not get quite as much money as they were expecting.

••• Once the Super Bowl is over, a lull in the sports scene takes place unless there are exciting local sports teams to watch.

Unfortunately in Dallas, with the exception of SMU men’s basketball, there are not.

Despite a recent mini winning streak, the Dallas Mavericks are tough to figure out. They have fought all year to find continuity and flow and continue to lose. Did anyone really think that Dirk Nowitzki and Andrew Bogut could stay healthy all season?

The Dallas Stars are

Dallas ISD Board President Dan Micciche Don’t leave college scholarships on the table As students return to the second half of the school year, seniors are looking ahead with anticipation to the final months of school and the culmination of many years moving toward this exciting time — high school graduation.

These last few months will be crammed with a number of activities and events that will commandeer their schedules — not to mention, they have to complete final assignments for graduation. This is not the time to relax, because for those students who are heading to college, it is the time to submit final college applications and apply for scholarships and financial assistance that will help them be able to afford college.

Every year, a substantial amount of college scholarship dollars go unused despite the efforts of counselors and educators as they work to guide students through the application process.

However, parents and students should know that there are a number of options out there for students to help with college tuition.

Check out college scholarship Dan opportunities For a look at some college scholarship opportunities, visit Dallas ISD’s Counseling Services page at: dallasisd.org/Page/207. You will find valuable resources and information about college preparation, FAFSA application information, scholarships and the Texas Exemption Program, which provides lowered tuition for eligible students attending Texas public colleges and universities.

Application deadlines are fast approaching for many of these programs, so encourage your seniors to take advantage of these opportunities.

Applications to Dallas ISD’s Magnet, Choice, Dual Language and Stem Schools and Programs Please remember, the application period to apply to attend one of Dallas ISD’s magnet or choice schools, collegiate academies, or two-way dual language schools is January 31.

Applications are available online at dallasisd.org/ application1718.

NOLA Brasserie brings a touch of New Orleans to downtown Dallas.

The One Main Place restaurant is a kissing cousin to renowned Marigny Brasserie in New Orleans. Phil Ryan is the executive chef of both.

Lest you think the Dallas relative gets only long distance attention, be assured that Ryan goes out of his way to bring in Louisiana seafood and ingredients right down to strawberries from Ponchatoula for a salad that also tosses in walnuts, spring greens and blue cheese. He also spends quality time here to instill the spirit of New Orleans in the kitchen.

General Manager Jose Rico welcomes guests and runs the Big Easy place with a big smile and aspirations to match. Classic cocktails are part of the menu, like the New Orleans’ Sazerac. Craft cocktail creations include a Cucumber Cosmo.

Recently, Rico and Ryan hosted a tasting dinner that featured many of the menu’s greatest hits. Some of my faves: Crazy Oysters with Truffle Oil. It’s an off-menu special. Ask for it. Fried oysters have an affinity for truffle oil. Corn and Crab Bisque is as creamy and dreamy as it sounds. Redfish, served with a succulent beurre blanc, white wine and butter sauce, transported me to the French Quarter. A sleeper on the menu, chopped steak, sounds so simple yet is so divine. Yes, it is a thick patty of ground beef smothered with sautéed onions and lip-smackin’ “debris gravy,” made from pan drippings. Yes, there’s a mound of mashed potatoes alongside!

Of course gumbo, made Cajun-style with a muddy dark roux, gets a couple of expressions: chicken and sausage as well as seafood. Both kinds are rich and swampy in the best way. And there’s a litany of New Orleansstyle fried seafood, including shrimp, catfish and crawfish fritters.

The restaurant is at ground level of the mixed-use skyscraper that includes the Westin Hotel, which provides

Crawfish Étoufée (above) and Strawberry Walnut Salad (below).

Dotty Griffith valet parking for NOLA Brasserie.

In the spirit of N’awlins, daily lunch specials start off the work week with Monday’s red beans and rice. Grits and grillades — red wine sauced sirloin medallions over grits — is the Tuesday treat.

Crawfish étouffée on Fridays sets up the weekend nicely.

The dessert menu includes everything you’d

expect: bread pudding (“no raisins!” insists Chef Ryan), crème brûlée and southern comfort pecan pie.

NOLA Brasserie is a happy addition to the downtown mix.

MOVIE TRAILER

‘A Dog’s Purpose’ will have you howling

By Chic DiCiccio There are two really tough things to do while watching “A Dog’s Purpose.” The first is separating the movie from the controversy swirling around it due to a leaked video of a German Shepherd allegedly being forced into some water.

The second thing to do is keep yourself from full on ugly, snorting crying.

The catch-22 of “A Dog’s Purpose” is this: it’s impossible not to sob while watching a dog die over and over then be reincarnated into a new puppy, but it’s also impossible to ignore how this very same thing is the easiest emotional manipulation in what may be movie history.

So what do you do? You should leave the cynicism at the door, do your best to ignore the video controversy (admittedly difficult), and watch an adorable, oftentimes heartbreaking and fantastic tribute to the one animal that wants nothing more than food, sleep and making people happy.

The inner monologue of the Dog in question is voiced

by Josh Gad and “A Dog’s Purpose” shows the journey of, for lack of a better phrase, a dog’s soul as it is reincarnated from dog to dog over approximately 50 years. There’s a dark beginning for Dog and it serves almost as a warning that what’s to come won’t always include sunshine and rainbows.

Dennis Quaid stars in “A Dog’s Purpose.”

But Dog’s second life takes him to 8-year-old Ethan (Bryce Gheisar), who along with his mother (Juliet Rylance), rescues him from the inside of a truck cab. Ethan names him Bailey and after some debate from his burgeoning alcoholic father (Luke Kirby), Ethan is allowed to keep Bailey.

Ethan (now played by K.J. Apa) gets to high school and Bailey is by his side at every step. They both meet Hannah (Britt Robertson) and both Ethan and Bailey essentially begin dating her. A series of events crushes Ethan’s future and while he’s away at college,

Interns cont'd from page 2 comprehensive college-access and workforce-readiness program offering a dedicated team of schoolbased experts who offer collegeaccess programming in numerous Dallas ISD high schools.

With rigorous internship prep training, a highly competitive job fair, work-readiness workshops and a community service day, the program offers plenty of life-skills training to help prepare students for the professional workplace.

Whether they land the job or not, they’ll have undergone an invaluable learning experience just by going through the robust application process and job fair.

To qualify, students must complete an online application, which includes a short essay, by Jan. 31. Additionally, applicants must be enrolled as sophomores or juniors (seniors are not eligible) at a Dallas public high school (or attend a Richardson ISD high school

Bailey dies.

From there, Bailey is reincarnated as a Chicago police dog (and a female this time!) whose handler, Carlos (John Ortiz), has some unidentified heartbreak, which Bailey tries to mend. She doesn’t succeed in that aspect, but she does get to do some K-9 police work, which only points out just how much dogs can help society.

There are a few more tales for Bailey to tell in “A Dog’s Purpose” and the final one is brutally harrowing for any dog lover. The abusive home Bailey finds himself in is harrowing, but it makes the eventual redemption that much more poignant.

Director Lasse Hallstrom is no stranger to movies about dogs, having directed the 2009 tearjerker “Hachi: A Dog’s Tale.” He’s clearly adept at filming dogs, who probably aren’t the best “actors” at taking direction. Many camera shots show the world from Bailey’s point of view and even the action that Bailey takes in

Once all requirements are met, hundreds of employers will conduct interviews at the program’s real-world Job Fair on Friday, April 7, from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. at Hyatt Regency Dallas.

Selected students will receive formal job offers in mid-May. Interns who accept their job offer will then complete three days of leadership development workshops June 6-8 at Townview Magnet Center.

his many lives (always escaping, jumping through open car windows, etc.) are done so well that it’s easy to ignore how preposterous it all is.

The major mistake that “A Dog’s Purpose” made is letting audiences know via marketing materials that Dennis Quaid is in this movie.

The final act, while emotionally engaging, is telegraphed before your behind even hits a theater seat. The impact of it could have been so much greater if it was crafted as a surprise instead of a certainty.

“A Dog’s Purpose” is one of the best love letters for dogs ever put together, even when the very device the movie uses to move the plot is as emotionally manipulative as one can get. It’s impossible to have dry eyes for almost the entire two hours of it. It may actually make you feel silly for falling for its intentional tugging at your heartstrings, but it’s about a dog. How bad can feeling like that possibly be?

Mull cont'd from page 3 frustrating to watch. Does any team with that much talent consistently play two and one-half periods only to fizzle out late in games? As anticipated, the goaltending has been mediocre.

The team just doesn’t seem to have a fire about them like past seasons. Could a coaching change be in order?

And then there are the Texas Rangers, a club that won the division by nine games last season only to flame out in the playoffs. What did they do in the offseason? Not much and probably did not get better as their division competition improved.

They lost Gold Glove first baseman Mitch Moreland to the Boston Red Sox for a relatively small one year, $5.5 million contract. What did they do to replace him? Sign James Loney to a minor league deal and try to convince fans that Ryan Rau or Joey Gallo can play first base. They sign Tyson Ross to a $6 million contract but don’t know when he can pitch. They re-sign Jake Diekman and then learn he will be out the first half of the season. They kept Carlos Gomez, but which Gomez are you going to get?

Fight through February, Dallas fans.

The final opening credits showed Moore’s character tossing her hat in the air.

With it, she’s tossing out all the baggage of her last life and starting over in the newsroom of Minneapolis’ WJMTV. Moore plays Richards as young, polite and very determined. In the first episode, when crotchety news director Lou Grant, played

by Ed Asner, asks Richards about her age and relationship status during a job interview, she challenges his line of questioning. “You’ve been asking a lot of very personal questions that don’t have a thing to do with my qualifications for this job,” she said.

“It was the most powerful moment in theater I’ve had, because she played it so beautifully,” Asner told NPR in 2001. “The audience was going ‘oh-goo-goo’ at that moment.”

Moore Show,” she was already an experienced comedic actor and producer. Her production company MTM Enterprises (formed with her second husband, Grant Tinker) was also responsible for the sitcoms “Rhoda, The Bob Newhart Show” and “WKRP in Cincinnati.”

Moore had learned her craft while playing homemaker Laura Petrie for five seasons on “The Dick Van Dyke Show.” Her chemistry with her on-screen husband, played by Dick Van Dyke, was so electric that CBS insisted her character had to be a single woman on her later show — the network didn’t want viewers to think they had divorced.

Van Dyke cheerfully admitted this to NPR in 2011: “Around the second season, we would try to rehearse and begin to giggle for no reason.

And a psychiatrist said, ‘You have a crush on each other.’

And I realized that’s true!

And I think it showed on the screen. I think that’s why people thought we were really married because we had a wonderful connection.”

Moore played opposite Dick Van Dyke on The Dick Van Dyke Show. — Getty Images people were used to seeing on TV. “Laura actually had opinions of her own,” Moore said. “And while she was asserting herself, she also didn’t make Dick Van Dyke look like a dummy. I mean, society’s expectations at that point still said, ‘Hey, wait a minute, lady, you only go so far here.’ But I think we broke new ground.”

The character also wore capri pants in a time when skirts and heels were the height of TV fashion. Moore proved she could wear what she wanted and also sometimes take the comic lead to Van Dyke’s straight man.

She said she had always been a fan of the comedian Nanette Fabray, and she channeled Fabray to conjure up those trademark comic tears. “There was definitely a cracking in the voice and an

Your Stars this Week

by Stella Wilder

The coming week will see many individuals digging deeply into their personal stores of energy and creativity in order to face and solve problems that are unique to the time as well as the individual. This means that effective help, while not impossible to come by, may be unusually difficult to find. So must one therefore go it alone?

Not necessarily, for there are issues that can be tackled by a trusting partnership — or even a larger team in some rare cases.

The key is finding compatible creativity. No one wants to find him- or herself arguing over what the best idea or approach might be, especially if time is of the essence. Instead, it's likely that one individual must assume a leadership position.

The problems faced this week may be personal or business-oriented, but in all cases they will affect both areas simultaneously — though not in identical ways. In fact, it may be virtually impossible to separate the personal from the professional in any practical sense.

Home and office will surely be closely linked!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 3) You may have to be unusually clever and flexible in order to face rapidly changing circumstances. A friend chimes in.

(Feb. 4-Feb. 18) – Some may misinterpret your eagerness as inexperience, but even an expert can be excited about what

he or she is facing!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 5) You may have to work with the timing in order to see that everything falls out in an optimum fashion — but don't be too aggressive. (March 6-March 20) – The quality of your work should win you praise, even from those who have been critical in the past. It's a good week!

ARIES (March 21-April 4) Now is the time for you to present that unusual idea to friends or family. You can allay any fears by demonstrating your preparedness. (April 5-April 19) – Others are likely to come to your aid as a matter of course, but take care you are not drowning in help!

TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You usually know just what to do when you are facing a certain key situation, but this week you may feel that you have to wing it. (May 6-May 20) – A loved one tests your ability to improvise — and, perhaps, compromise. Both of you want the same thing: mutual enjoyment!

GEMINI (May 21-June 6) You have been looking for just the right tools for a tricky job that must be done solo – and they can be yours, for a price.

(June 7-June 20) – You've been

relying a little too much on your ability to maneuver quickly, when in fact maneuverability may be hazardous.

CANCER (June 21-July 7) If you're trying to get a certain job done, you must follow all the steps. Now is no time to take shortcuts of any kind. (July 8-July 22) – You're eager to add a little flair to an endeavor that has gotten far too routine of late. New opportunities give you what you need.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You can take traditional methods and come up with something new and remarkable by infusing your unique style.

Enjoyment abounds! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – You may be feeling the pressure when someone else's pleasure depends on your ability to deliver the goods. You'll have more than one chance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You may choose to work at odd hours – partially out of desire, and partially because your biological clock is out of whack!

(Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – Keeping yourself out of trouble is as easy as steering clear of those who are not telling you what's going on. Information provides safety.

inability to maintain a tone and a certain amount of verbal yodeling that took place,” Moore said.

In her real life, the actress was not the single, freewheeling Mary Richards that America embraced. The real Mary was married by the time she was 18. She was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., but she grew up in Los Angeles with a mother who battled alcoholism, a problem that later afflicted Moore and both her siblings.

“I probably never was really out-and-out drunk,” Moore recalled. “And I certainly never drank during the daytime, but I wasted a lot of my time and I forgot a lot because I didn’t remember much of what happened the night before.”

Moore channeled some of that unhappiness for her role as a grieving mother in 1980’s “Ordinary People,” a performance that earned her an Academy Award nomination. To this day, however, it’s her comedy that endures.

In downtown Minneapolis, there’s a statue of her as Mary Richards twirling her cap — a moment of hope and promise, frozen in time.

I generally poo-poo the tiny house movement: some of these homes won’t even hold a box of crackers for God’s sake. Truth is, I Candace Evans couldn’t be happy with too much “less” because I would quickly fill it with “more.” I know, I’m hopeless, as anyone who reads and subscribes to my CandysDirt.com knows.

But we sure do dish out the best house porn every single day! Get yourself some by subscribing! Here is a sample …

Deep in the heart of Oak Cliff is a swath of land that was once the Tennessee Farm Dairy.

These gently rolling, tree-shaded hills sit above the banks of Cedar Creek and are now home to the Elmwood neighborhood.

On the Elmwood Branch greenbelt, our Tuesday Two Hundred (we have these EVERY Tuesday) is located near Wright Street and North Edgefield Avenue at 1512 Elmwood Blvd. This 1939 cottage sits among other 1930s and ‘40s homes, Tudors and Craftsman bungalows.

This house is nicely updated in the kitchen and bathrooms, but maintains the charms of its era, like arched doorways and original hardwood floors. With two bedrooms, two bathrooms and 1,178 square feet, it’s a modest footprint. But it packs a lot of punch into its petite size, making the most of the space and exuding a cozy, cottage chic that is, frankly, adorable.

The greenbelt near this Elmwood cottage is open space full of mature pecan, oak, elm and hackberry trees and is home to a variety of birds and wildlife, according to the Elmwood Neighborhood Association. This property is a two-minute walk from Elmwood Parkway, a 16-acre park with trails, a playground, basketball court and picnic tables. This house features a big backyard, so the theme of getting cozy

January 27 - February 2, 2017

with nature is continued there.

The layout of this cottage follows a fairly traditional format for the era — front living area leading to a dining room and then the kitchen. The owners have staged this home well, decluttering and providing furniture and accessories that highlight function and flow without distraction.

A surprisingly commodious kitchen features updates like granite counter tops, white cabinets, lots of storage, recessed lighting and fresh paint in a cheery, buttery yellow color.

The bedrooms and bathrooms bring more pleasant surprises, like hardwoods that extend into the sleeping quarters and lots of windows that make the rooms bright and welcoming.

Many homes in this area only have one bathroom, so this property’s two are a major bonus.

(Who wants to share a bathroom, anyway?)

Both are updated with new vanities and sinks, fresh paint and light fixtures.

Mature shade trees arch over the private backyard, where there are multiple seating areas and a patio.

This home was listed Jan. 22 by Heath Olinger with Rogers Healy and Associates for $239,000.

by Pet Partners, this special initiative promotes literacy and a lifelong love of learning by having children read to therapy dogs in schools, libraries and other settings.

I was hoping to get my foster dog Rusty, who’s a huge snuggle bug, certified as a therapy dog.

After reading these requirements, I realize that Rusty and I need to work on obedience training first. Being sweet and friendly isn’t enough to pass the test!
