whyThe Mary Tyler Moore Show is so important
the mary tyler moore show was a television show that ran for most of the 1970s. the show was so successful, it ran for seven years and produced three spinoffs: rhoda,phyllis, and lou grant. the show pushed social boundaries in the 1970s and played a large role in the feminist movement.
mary richards moved to minneapolis after breaking off her long-term relationship with a man who wouldn’t commit himself. she then got a job as an associate producer at wjm-tv and her friend phyllis rented the top floor of her house to her.
the show often dealed with sexism and other issues. with mary being the only woman in the newsroom, she has dealt with her fair share of sexism and is even paid less than a former associate producer after she had previously received a significant raise.
mary also puts her friends, lou, ted, and murray in their places after they insult and stereotype women over drinks with her, a woman, at the same table.
mary was often portrayed as a pushover but when the issues matter, she would step in and give people a piece of her mind.
shows like the mary tyler moore show that paved the way for the shows we watch and love today.
