The Mary Tyler Moore Show titles
The Mary Tyler Moore Show is an American sitcom created by James L. Brooks and Allan Burns that aired on CBS from 1970 to 1977. Its central character is a never-married, independent career woman, a rarity in American television in the early 1970s. It is one of the most acclaimed television programs in US television history.
Mary Richards is a thirty-something single woman who settles in Minneapolis after breaking up with a boyfriend. She lands a job as an associate producer of the evening news at WJM-TV, which happens to be the area’s lowest-rated station. Her boss, Lou Grant, hates her spunk but often looks to her to solve newsroom (or even personal) problems. Mary’s other coworkers include news writer Murray Slaughter, egomaniacal anchorman Ted Baxter and “Happy Homemaker” Sue Ann Nivens (Betty White). Mary’s home is a modest studio apartment — and her upstairs neighbor, Rhoda Morgenstern, quickly becomes a good friend. Later in the series, Mary moves to a plush high-rise apartment before leaving Minneapolis and WJM for good. [Wikipedia]

Rare for any long runner in its day, it received a proper Grand Finale. Finding a director other than Jay Sandrich is going to be a task.
I watched it in reruns (I was born in 1980) but I love all the shows from the good old days of TV anything from The Honeymooners to M*A*S*H to such trendsetters as I Love Lucy (all in my DVD Collection BTW) I liked the fact Mary didn’t let nobody push her around and I loved the 90's reunion movie Mary & Rhoda where she reunited with Valerie Harper in a brand new storyline. It was such an iconic show for a reason
