The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Season 4

Classy, smart, funny, and confident — Mary Richards is the very embodiment of the independent career woman of the 1970s. As news producer for WJM-TV, Mary, along with her eclectic and hilarious cast of friends and co-workers, confronts some of life’s biggest challenges head-on — career advancement, dating, marriage, death, and divorce — all with varying degrees of success, but always with a sense of humor and an optimistic outlook. Season 4 of The Mary Tyler Moore Show shows why this endearing and enduring TV classic was the inspiration for a young generation who discovered that they, too, were “gonna make it after all.”
