Ted Baxter:Murr,I was looking over tonight's stories and you mistyped the word "Frogtown" for something else-- maybe,"Fogtown?"
Murray Slaughter:You mean,that place where your brain lives,Ted?(audience laughs) No,"Frogtown' is an actual area of St Paul.
Ted:Well,you KNOW I can't read the word, "Frogtown' without...ha ha...laughing hysterically--HAHAHAHAHA.
Lou Grant(running out of his office):That better not be Ted,laughing at "Frogtown".
Ted:I can't help it,Lou--HAHAHAHA.
Lou:Doesn't matter-- W-O-K-E news upper management just dropped the story for their usual reasons.
Mary Richards:Ohhh,Mr.Grant.
Murray:Okay,Ted,here's the replacement story. In five days,it's the anniversary of the birth of the actress who played "Pussy Galore"--Honor Blackman.
Ted:Honor Blackman--don't tell me it's "black history" month AGAIN?
Mary(shaking her head):Ted,you're on in thirty seconds.
Ted:Right--thirty seconds.Thanks,Mary

Ted:Good evening,I'm Ted Baxter--with the news. PUSSY GALORE!HAHAHAHA.

Murray:You bet.

How can this be? This shooting happened just two blocks diagonal from the "Black Youth Healing Arts Center":
The Black Youth Healing Arts Center is a safe space in Saint Paul’s Frogtown neighborhood for Black youth to receive healing for their un/under-processed historical trauma. Unearthed historical trauma blocks the potential of full humanity and expression of gifts. The Black Youth Healing Arts Center (BYHAC) provides cultural, ancestral, and innovative processes to healing for Black youth foremost, while creating safe spaces and healing opportunities for youth of color.
Current activities at the BYHAC include weekly arts and holistic integrative health and healing focused programming, events, and classes. To learn more about what's going on at the BYHAC visit our events page.
Look at that! They have a drum circle for youth 13-18, "Afro Fusion dance for teens 13-18", and Self-Care Sunday: Self-Care Sunday is a bimonthly event designed to create safe space, foster youth voice, celebrate community, practice self-care, and build a culture of healing rooted in the African diaspora. Activities and workshops are led by IGF staff, community artists, healers, and practitioners. Everyone is welcome!!!
Except for the bLACK part, it sounds a lot like Vermont. Just add crystals, buddhist monk and some lesbians, aging 1960s hippies now using canes, and a cloud of pot smoke and you're there, baby, safe spaces, holistic healing, it's eco-harmonic convergence into groovy a new Age of Jacquarious, along with vegetarian cuisine tips by Butch Ann Nivens.
C'mon, Fox 9, get with the program. First, change your name to Frog 9. Second, your weather team is all Light and White and 80% male. You need to make your weather reports top-heavy with full-figure black women to explain sciencey stuff in an uplifting way for healing of black youth in Frogtown. We've lost ground since Gordie the token bLACK weather guy got to sit in the background behind Mary and Murray.
Next Mary Tyler Moore Show:
(CBS 9 P.M.)Weatherman Gordie,even upon noting a barometric pressure of 29.00 and falling rapidly,a temperature of 92° and a cold front approaching from the west,says it will be a quiet next 48 hours. When a squall line tears through Minneapolis three hours later,Lou realizes blacks are as brainless about weather predicting as they are being airline pilots;Ted and Georgette--who trusted Gordie's prediction,dig out after a 90 mph derecho barreled through their neighborhood,while Mary tosses her beret in the air and never sees it again--thanks to the same derecho.
