When the character of Mary Richards walked into the WJM News Room
in the fall of 1970, one of the most beloved shows in television
history was born. The Mary Tyler Moore Show would win 29 Emmys over
its 7-year run, and would later be lauded as one of the most
influential TV shows of all time. Not only that, but Mary Richards
would become an icon and inspiration for future generations of
women-(for example, Oprah Winfrey, Andrea Mitchell, Tina Fey, and
Lena Dunham have all credited Mary with inspiring their careers).
Now entertainment writer Paula Bernstein writes this charming
celebration of this groundbreaking show, offering not only fun
trivia and history, but also the "lessons" we've gleaned,
including: * Make the Most of a Small Space. Mary's adorable nook
in a Victorian home became TV's most famous bachelorette pad--and,
with Mary's "M" on the wall, inspired thousands of women to adopt
their own first intial as home decor. *Get Along with Everyone at
Work. Lou Grant was grumpy, Ted Baxter a blowhard, and Murray an
all-around nice guy. Mary worked with all her colleagues with grace
and style. (And at the time, Mary's position as Associate Producer
at WJM was glass-shattering!). *You Can Have the Town--Take it!:
How Mary's famous "hat throw" was an inspiration to independent,
working women everywhere. And many more!
