Created by James L. Brooks and Allan Burns, the show follows the life of Mary Richards, a single woman in her thirties working as the associate producer, later producer, of a local news station WJM. Working at the news station is her gruff boss Lou Grant, newswriter Murray Slaughter, and the vain and nit-witted anchorman Ted Baxter. Mary rents a studio apparent from acquaintance and landlady Phyllis Lindstrom, and neighbors her best friend Rhoda Morgenstern. Other major characters in the series include Sue Ann Nivens, the host of The Happy Homemaker show, and Ted's girlfriend, later wife, Georgette Franklin.
  Mary Tyler Moore has garnered critical acclaim for its honest and serious portrayal of a single working woman in the 1970s. Since its debut, the series has been nominated for 67 Primetime Emmy Awards and 22 Golden Globe Awards among others. Several cast members, including Moore and Asner, have received recognition for their roles, winning several Emmy and Golden Globe awards.
