The Mary Tyler Moore Show	comment	A legendary sitcom created by James L. Brooks and Allan Burns that aired on CBS from 1970â€“77, which forever reshaped American television comedy; pretty much every Work Com that has followed in its wake bears its influence.Mary Tyler Moore stars as Mary Richards, a 30-something single woman living in Minneapolis and working as associate producer for The Six O'Clock News on fictional TV station WJM.The show was famous for the quality and depth of its writing, particularly in the attention and care given to the supporting characters in its Ensemble Cast, which included Lou Grant (Edward Asner), Murray Slaughter (Gavin MacLeod), Ted Baxter (Ted Knight), Rhoda Morgenstern (Valerie Harper), and Phyllis Lindstrom (Cloris Leachman). Even "Happy Homemaker" Sue Ann Nivens (Betty White), who could have been played as merely two-dimensional, was given some measure of depth.This was also one of the first shows to feature a single woman as the main character, and to focus on her career rather than her love life. As originally scripted, Mary was to have been recently divorced. This was considered too controversial in 1970 (and, in a classic case of Viewers Are Morons, network brass was afraid the audience would think that Moore's Dick Van Dyke Show character, Laura Petrie, had gotten divorced from Rob), so her Backstory was changed to one of rebuilding her life following a broken engagement.The Mary Tyler Moore Show was the first series produced by MTM Enterprises (founded by Moore and then-husband Grant Tinker), which would be responsible for a number of the most popular and acclaimed shows of the '70s and '80s. In its seven-season run, the show won a whopping 29 Emmy Awards (a record that held until Frasier won its 30th in 2002) and a Peabody Award, and it spun off three other series: Rhoda, Phyllis and Lou Grant. (The latter being one of the few instances where a comedy series spawned a drama.)One of the many tropes the show established was the recurring gag about Mary's disastrous dinner parties, similar to how Friends later built continuity around its Thanksgiving episodes, Roseanne had epic Halloweens, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer typically had ruinous birthdays. It's also the Trope Maker and Trope Codifier for High-Powered Career Woman in American media.J. Michael Straczynski once said in a book on screenwriting that if a writer watches this and Fawlty Towers, they will have had the best possible grounding in how to write comedy.Ultimately, MTM is best remembered for the depth and humanity of its characterizations, while never sacrificing the funny. Oh, and the hat-throwing scene in the intro.

Lou Grant comes over to Mary's apartment while she is getting ready for a date (in a robe and with a towel on her head). After several failed metaphors, he finally just comes out and tells her that Murray is in love with her and is going to tell her the next day. At that moment, Mary's date shows up. But Mary is too busy having the Heroic BSOD, and she dazedly leaves to go on her date while still in her robe and towel.

The Mary Tyler Moore Show / int_2719ab04	comment	Special Guest: Johnny Carson attends one of Mary's dinner parties. Unfortunately, a power outage strikes just before he arrives, so we only get to hear his voice. In the closing credits, which normally show a clip of the guest, Carson's name is accompanied by a black screen. Ted Baxter meets Walter Cronkite in one episode. Lou's friend does a heck of a Betty Ford imitation. Technically, Cloris Leachman was always billed as a "Special Guest Star" for her appearances as Phyllis. For the final episode, Cloris Leachman and Valerie Harper returned. In order not to show favoritism they both received the credit "Special Guest Star (in alphabetical order)"—a rare case of the "alphabetical order" billing trope being used for only two actors.

The Mary Tyler Moore Show / int_272abb98	comment	Also ends with a bit of Shoot the Shaggy Dog; after harassing Mary for over a week, with no support from Rhoda, who got her into this mess, Mary is on a date and sees him enter the same restaurant. She also sees him with a huge cake that says 'Will You Marry Me?'. Mary, who has had above enough, tears into him and smears the cake. Promptly, the woman the guy had actually bought the cake for comes in and demands to know why Mary ruined her cake. Mind you, the guy had been all but attacking Mary, and this other woman had never been mentioned, even as a recent break-up. Mary looks like a maniac to this woman, her date and all the restaurant goers, while stalker-man somehow gets to look sweet and romantic. Did I mention Rhoda laughed about his antics, despite her role in setting this up?

The Mary Tyler Moore Show / int_38b05ae7	comment	Poorly Disguised Pilot: "His Two Right Arms" was a pilot for a proposed series about an incompetent city councilman named Pete Peterson (played by Bill Daily) and his wacky but competent staff. CBS didn't pick it up to series, and Daily went on to join The Bob Newhart Show a year later. Averted with Rhoda, Phyllis and Lou Grant. All of them made their pilots separately from the main series. Arguably the episode in which Rhoda invites Mary to her sister's wedding could be considered something of a pilot as it looks like a rough version run-through of Rhoda with a few retools to come, not the least being switching Married Debbie for Single Brenda. The final MTM episode to feature Phyllis ("Phyllis Whips Inflation") centers on her to a greater degree than normal, even featuring a scene with her and none of the other regulars. This was likely a test of Phyllis's workability as a lead character before building a new series around her.

The Mary Tyler Moore Show / int_47fea76b	comment	Butt-Monkey: Ted. WJM-TV (at the very least their nightly newscast) is portrayed as this in the context of the local media market. They're last place in the ratings and it's suggested that the few viewers they have are only tuning in to laugh at Ted. Also Mary on more than one occasion. note One example is the episode "Put on a Happy Face"; Mary's up for a Teddy award, which she's sure she won't win but feels an obligation to attend since she's nominated. At first her only problem is that she has no date, but things go downhill from there. She sleeps on her hair wrong so that it's lopsided at work. On the way to the washroom to try to fix it, she slips and sprains her ankle. After going to the hospital, she catches a cold from soaking her foot. Then the almost brand new dress she planned to wear is ruined by an inept cleaner and she needs to borrow an ugly-looking one (by 1970s standards) from Rhoda. After that, desperate not to go to the awards alone, she takes Ted up on his earlier offer to fix her up with a guy who's kind of like a "good-looking Robert Redford", at which time he tells her "April fool!" and reveals that the guy is him. Ted shows up and is appalled by Mary's appearance (her dress, her flat hair because her hair dryer broke, and her being sick) and is very reluctant to be seen in public with her. On the way to the awards, Mary gets rained on and steps in a puddle. When they get there, Ted pretends that she's his sister and a last-minute replacement for his real date. Then Mary loses one of her false eyelashes at the table...and that's when she's invited onstage in front of dozens of people to receive the Teddy that she ended up winning after all:

The Mary Tyler Moore Show / int_4864031b	comment	Informed Attractiveness: Mary is consistently portrayed in-universe as, in Murray's words, "so terrifically attractive and desirable that she can probably have any man she wants." In "Ted's Temptation", Ted finds a woman, Whitney, whom he believes is so beautiful that she "makes Mary look like a dog." Part of this is justified in that Whitney is one of the few women to express a sexual interest in Ted, making her all the more attractive to him.

His inept reporting skills and high opinion of himself should have gotten him fired, and yet he's the only one who still has a job. Also, Rhoda on more than one occasion, often causing Mary trouble and then either blaming Mary herself for it or laughing at her expense. The ultimate example comes in 'Romeo & Mary'. As a pleaded-for favor, Mary agrees to double-date with Rhoda when her beau's friend has no one. The guy turns out to be a stalker. Though played for laughs in an era that didn't quite deal with the darker side of this, his behavior is very much that of a stalker absent true violence. Not even the comical determined pursuit of some shows and films; this guy's behavior is ruinous to Mary's peace of mind, and yes, she does tell him to go away repeatedly. Rhoda's aid to the situation she caused? To crack wise and mock Mary! With Friends Like These......

Unlike later versions of the trope, the show does not introduce a lot of conflict between Mary's romantic life and career, with most of Mary's boyfriends sticking around only for an episode or two. The show was revolutionary for its time (airing in 1970) and was lauded as a landmark for second-wave feminism because it featured an unmarried, independent, career-focused female protagonist.

The Mary Tyler Moore Show / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: In later seasons, the opening credits feature two scenes in which Mary is seen interacting with people connected with the show. The first scene shows Mary walking in the park when two joggers run by her: creators James L. Brooks and Allan Burns. The second scene shows Mary dining at a restaurant with an older man: Moore's then-husband, Grant Tinker, who also served as co-founder and president of the show's production company, MTM Enterprises, and would later become even more well known as "the man who saved NBC", when he served as the network's chairman and CEO from 1981 to 1986. The opening also has a scene of Mary washing her car while donning a Fran Tarkenton (Minnesota Vikings QB) jersey. If you look closely at the WJM program grid on the wall of the Station Manager's office, you'll see My Mother the Car is shown several times a day. This is an in-joke to the Old Shame shared between Brooks and Burns. In the episode "The Co-Producers" Lou mentions that the current Station Manager scheduled My Mother the Car reruns at 7am so he'd have something to watch while eating breakfast. "Christmas and the Hard Luck Kid II" is not a Numbered Sequel to an earlier episode, its title notwithstanding; the original "Christmas and the Hard Luck Kid" was a That Girl episode that James L. Brooks had written.

In a hilarious episode (appropriately titled "Feeb"), Randy is so incompetent as a waitress that sweet, non-confrontational Mary actually complains about her, and Randy is fired. Residual guilt means Randy winds up hired as Mary's assistant at WJM, where she continues to be inept at everything, including being unable to type or file, and constantly referring to Lou as "Mr. Graham." The ditziest thing of all about her is that she doesn't seem to realize she's terrible and on the verge of being fired again.

The Mary Tyler Moore Show / int_e5e6640b	type	Flanderization
The Mary Tyler Moore Show / int_e5e6640b	comment	Flanderization: The writers did a good job of keeping the characters consistent from beginning to end with the sole exception being Sue Ann. Her bawdy attitude wasn't introduced until later appearances and her sugary-sweet facade became more and more obviously false as time went on. Of course, she also gained more depth in addition to this, so its still fairly balanced out. When Phyllis went from appearing in most episodes to only appearing in a handful of episodes per season, episodes where she did appear focused heavily on her tendencies towards histrionics and self-involvement. Then, when she departed for her own series, these tendencies were downplayed again.

To prevent that from happening she resolves to be "passive, even kindly," and when Rhoda walks into the room a moment later...

She's cooking a strawberry swirl for her TV show, which is live. Well, she thinks she's cooking it, but the oven was never turned on. When Sue Ann takes the pan out and turns it upside down to drop the dessert onto a plate, the uncooked mixture falls out and splatters onto the plate and surrounding counter.

In the episode "Chuckles Bites the Dust", the minister remarks that Chuckles lived life with his philosophy of "A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants". Afterwards, when the minister sees Mary bursting out into laughter after trying to repress it, he mentions that Chuckles loved to make people laugh, and didn't like to see people crying. Ironically, Mary breaks down into tears.

The Mary Tyler Moore Show / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: In one episode Ted spends an undeserved $6,000 tax refund check on gifts for his friends. Mary is taken aback at the fine Sterling Silver pitcher she was given saying how embarrassed she was that she had only given Ted and Georgette a blender for their wedding. Georgette assures her it was the nicest one of the three blenders they got. Fast forward through the plot as the IRS audits Ted and he begs his friends to say he took them out to business lunches that he deducted. Mary enters the newsroom to find flowers on her desk marked "Roses are Red/And here's a bunch/please tell the IRS man/I took you to lunch.". Murray comments "Is that all you got? I got a blender." In one episode, Ted shows his long-lost father around his dressing room. His dad notices an autographed photo of Dwight Eisenhower and mentions with surprise "He signed his name with two Ts!" Late in the episode, Ted decides to give his father some money and writes out a check. His father, peering over Ted's shoulder, reminds him "Only one T in Robert." In "Chuckles Bites the Dust", Ted gives Mary an ugly mobile sculpture early in the episode. At the end during the coda, she offers it to anyone who wants it.
