Did that contribute in her decision to end the show after seven years? Basically, in TV Guide around 1976, Mary Tyler Moore revealed her displeasure with the new "jiggle TV" (http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=290599) shows like Charlie's Angels. The MTM show really coincided with the feminist movement of the 1970s and MTM always wanted her show to be about the empowerment of women. So it's likely that popularity of Charlie's Angels made her feel that she had done a lot of work for nothing and it ultimately was a consideration in her decision to quit after the 1976-77 season (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976%E2%80%9377_United_States_network_television_schedule).
