Mary Tyler Moore was huge in her day, she was pretty much a female icon with the likes of Carol Burnette, Lucielle Ball and Julie Andrews among others.
It was rare in her day and age for a female to carry a series, even Shirley Jones in the Partridge family wasn't allowed to carry that series on her own.
The Mary Tyler Moore show sometimes gets underrated in terms of how funny that show is and how great that cast was, its one of my favorite comedy series right up there with a show like WKRP
