About
As of 2026, it's 56 years old.
The Mary Tyler Moore Show did something quietly radical in 1970: it gave us a single, thirtysomething career woman who was perfectly happy to stay that way, building a found family at a Minneapolis newsroom instead of chasing a husband. She was, the theme song insisted, gonna make it after all.
Smart, warm, and genuinely funny, it helped invent the modern workplace comedy and made its newsroom misfits into beloved characters whose DNA runs through every office sitcom since.
Groundbreaking and big-hearted, The Mary Tyler Moore Show is the comedy that turned 'independent woman thriving on her own' into a hit and a small revolution.
