On this week's LadyWatch agenda: Ryan and Jason sing the praises of Sen.

Ryan and Jason come full circle in paying tribute to a fallen Lady: the woman who started it all, not just the template for independent strong women on television, but whose failing health in recent years was the actual catalyst for beginning this experiment in vigilance through Google Alerts that we call LadyWatch. A bright and shining star of television (in both black and white and living 1970s color), a Lady producer who made television on her own terms and also created many opportunities for other Ladies, a brilliant comedic and dramatic actress alike, tireless advocate for multiple causes, the world's favorite toothy turn-on, the one and only Mary Tyler Moore.

Ryan and Jason pay tribute to a fallen Lady: the irascible and irrepressible force of fame and fortune, the enduring and glamorous empty calories of the old Hollywood publicity machine, one third of the most famous trio of sisters to ever come out of Hungary, everyone's dahlink, Zsa Zsa Gabor.

On this week's LadyWatch agenda: Ryan and Jason see a Hillary Clinton peek her head out to find her shadow and yet somehow we're still living this dystopian alternate reality - BUT - the Ladies soldier on! Patti LaBelle is back in the kitchen, Glenn Close is back inside Norma Desmond, Jane Fonda is back on the activism circuit, and maybe things will be okay...? IN THE MEANTIME: Salma Hayek has to slap Shirley MacLaine woke, congratulations to Betty Buckley on her hit film and horse math doctorate, Ryan's complicated relationship with Susan Sarandon, the ceiling horror in Joan Collins' London flat, whether Dr. Who will regenerate as a Lady (and if so, Who?!). ALSO: Why Miriam Margolyes might be coming to a toilet VERY near you, questions about the depreciation rate of Mary Hart's assets, momentum builds on a Pet Clark jukebox musical, Oprah's 60 minutes back in the spotlight (and her 57 varieties in the freezer), dueling Kitty Menendezes on TV, and MUCH MUCH MORE!!
