The Mary Tyler Moore Show
Although curmudgeonly Murphy Brown and sunny Mary don’t have much in common, it was The Mary Tyler Moore Show that paved the way for compelling representations of newswomen on TV. When it premiered in 1970, Mary Richards was the first single career woman on the small screen. As a producer on Minneapolis network WJM’s Six O’Clock News, she competently and charmingly made her way in a man’s world, in the company of memorable co-workers like silly Ted Baxter and such wonderful friends as spin-off-worthy Rhoda Morgenstern.
