The Mary Tyler Moore Show
Good night and good news.
Created by Allan Burns, James L. Brooks
On CBS
A warm, optimistic workplace sitcom centered on a capable woman building a life and friendships in a new city, with humor rooted in character and situation rather than cynicism.
30-year-old single Mary Richards moves to Minneapolis to start a new life after a romantic break-up. There she reacquaints with Phyllis who rents her a room, and meets her upstairs neighbor and new best friend Rhoda. Mary unexpectedly lands a job as associate producer at the TV station WJM, where she works alongside her bristly boss, Lou; the comical newswriter, Murray; and the newscast's often-incompetent anchor, Ted.
