  Moore, Mary Tyler
Mary Tyler Moore's most enduring contributions to television are in two classic sitcoms, The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961-66) and The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970-77), although she has appeared in the medium in a variety of roles both before and after these series.
Thanks to the show's explorations of the Petries' courtship (they met while he was in the military and she a USO dancer), Moore was able to display her talents as both dancer and singer, as well as comedic actress, on the show.
While Moore's Mary Richards' apologetic manner may have undermined some of the messages of the women's movement, she also put a friendly face on the potentially threatening tenets of feminism, naturalizing some of the decade's changes in the way women were perceived both at home and at work.

In the early sixties Mary Tyler Moore found stardom on the groundbreaking sitcom The Dick Van Dyke Show, a show that is credited with bringing a new level of sophistication to the genre of half-hour comedy.
While in the first season Moore's character was the anchor around which the other characters were allowed to spin the humor—sort of a female straight-man—the second season shows her blossoming into a multi-dimensional (and very funny) character all her own.
Bess appears in another season highlight in "Baby Sit-com": Mary is baby-sitting for Bess while Phyllis and her husband are out of town at a seminar, and she doesn't know what to do when the opportunity for a rare date with an old flame who's visiting for one night crops up.

 DVD Review - The Mary Tyler Moore Show: The Complete First Season
Culturally, the show was significant for its depiction of a single, 30-year-old working woman struggling to make it on her own, with no family, no husband/boyfriend/fiancé, no support system at all except for her friends.
Gold and Asner dig deep into the creative process, focusing on the development of the show and the team's difficulty in dealing with the CBS brass, who fully believed they had a real disaster on their hands.
It's pretty rare for a TV show to gel so immediately out of the gate, so I wouldn't blame you if you were hesitant to pick this set up.
