When seeing what was the biggest universe, I found they aren't really that different in size. I thought MTM would be the smallest, with just MTM, Rhoda, Phyllis, and Lou Grant. But what does Marshall have that's directly connected? Happy Days, Laverne, Mork, Joanie Loves Chachi, and Blansky's Beauties (one show lead). Lear has All in the Family/Archie Bunker's Place, Jeffersons, Maude, and Good Times, and Gloria too. (2-show lead)

As much as I love the other two, I am going to go with "The Norman Lear-verse". The majority of my favorite shows from the 70s are made by Norman Lear and that's why I chose it.

Now thinking about it, I'll say "The Mary Tyler Moore verse". With shows like The Bob Newhart Show or Hill Street Blues or The Mary Tyler Moore Show, how could you go wrong?

I went with Norman Lear Universe as well...that universe bled all the way into the late 80's with other people that worked on the shows under TAT such as Mort Lachlan and Hal Cooper.
