Mary Tyler Moore, fresh off her success reteaming with Dick Van Dyke in a comedy special (revisiting them their Dick Van Dyke Show personas, Rob and Laura Petrie), was tapped by CBS to star in her own sitcom in 1970. She formed a production company (http://terrencemoss.blogspot.com/2018/11/mtm-enterprises.html) with her husband Grant Tinker and the rest is herstory.
The number of sitcoms created by MTM Enterprises (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTM_Enterprises) in the '70s were only eclipsed by those of Norman Lear (All in the Family, Sanford and Son) and Garry Marshall (Odd Couple, Happy Days). Whereas Lear's videotaped sitcoms were loud, brash, controversial, and populated with Broadway stage actors, MTM's filmed output (https://www.metv.com/lists/9-overlooked-shows-produced-by-mtm-enterprises) provided slick, well-written and consistent entertainment with film and TV professionals...rivaled only by "Barney Miller." This was due mainly to bringing on incredible writers ( James L. Brooks, Alan Burns, Lorenzo Music, Patchett and Tarses) and directors (Jay Sandrich and Jim Burrows).
