=== In popular culture === The show has remained popular since the final episode was broadcast in 1977. Several songs, films and other television programs reference or parody characters and events from the show, including the memorable "can turn the world on with her smile" line from the title song. Parodies were done on shows such as ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'', ''[[MadTV]]'', and ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' (which was produced in [[Minneapolis]]). Musical artist [[Barbara Kessler]] and groups [[The Hold Steady]] and [[Relient K]] have all referred to the show in their songs. The show has also been mentioned in film. In the [[Will Ferrell]] comedy film ''[[Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy]]'', the name of Burgundy's dog, Baxter, refers to the character Ted Baxter, and the head of the newsroom staff is named Ed, honoring Ed Asner.<ref>Van Luling, T. "[https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/03/anchorman-facts_n_4373733.html 11 Things You Didnβt Know About Anchorman]", ''[[The Huffington Post]]'', March 12, 2013. Retrieved February 6, 2017</ref> In the 1997 film ''[[Romy & Michele's High School Reunion]]'', the characters argue with each other while exclaiming "I'm the Mary and you're the Rhoda." [[Frank DeCaro]] of ''The New York Times'' wrote that this was the highlight of the film.<ref>{{cite news|last=Decaro|first=Frank|date=December 12, 1997|title=STYLE OVER SUBSTANCE; Toss Your Hat: Mary and Rhoda Return|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1997/12/07/style/style-over-substance-toss-your-hat-mary-and-rhoda-return.html|url-access=subscription|access-date=August 21, 2010}}</ref> The show's Emmy-winning final episode has been alluded to many times in other series' closing episodes, such as the 1988 finale of ''[[St. Elsewhere]]'' (including the group shuffle to the tissue box).
