I responded quite honestly: “High School Nettie wouldn’t have been surprised. She knew where we were heading.” She absolutely did. I have always been pretty sure I would end up with an advanced degree and I have always known what that would involve. The only question was one of how I was going to get here, but my favorite thing has always been watching television and movies. Once I learned that a job existed where I could watch television and, more or less, get paid for it, I threw myself wholeheartedly into pursuing that job. I get to watch television and talk to other people about it. That’s simply heaven for me. A lot of people helped me get here.

  • MARY TYLER MOORE (1936-2017): a TRIBUTE Like Most of the World, Which Will No Longer Be Turned on by Her Smile, I Was Deeply
    MARY TYLER MOORE (1936-2017): A TRIBUTE Like most of the world, which will no longer be turned on by her smile, I was deeply saddened to learn of Mary Tyler Moore’s passing, at the age of eighty, on January 24, 2017. Tributes have poured in, not only from her “Mary Tyler Moore Show” family (Ed Asner, Valerie Harper, Cloris Leachman, Gavin McLeod, who held back tears), but from younger women she influenced. These include journalists Katie Couric, who watched the show at age thirteen and decided to go into television news, Nora O’Donnell, and Lesley Stahl, who recognized a kindred soul. Mary Murphy commented that she brought women into the work force, including women who were fearful of the women’s movement. Actresses also give her full credit. Allison Janney commented that “Mary Tyler Moore was my role model” for the character of career woman C. J. Cregg on “The West Wing”: “We should all bow down and thank her.” Patricia Heaton praised “her incredible technique and craft,” and Candice Bergen admitted that the “Murphy Brown” show, about a woman reporter/ anchor, would not have existed without Mary Richards. Comediennes Tina Fey, Julia Louis Dreyfus, and Amy Schumer recognize that she paved the way for them – by, among other achievements, demonstrating that it was possible to be both attractive and funny.1 In the 1970s Mary Tyler Moore was sometimes compared to the great comic actresses of the 1930s and ‘40s: Carole Lombard, the Kate Hepburn of “Bringing Up Baby,” and so on. My personal tribute is in the form of a paper originally presented at the Canadian Association for American Studies (C.A.A.S.) annual conference in Ottawa, October, 1974, when the show was still on the air.

  • A Show of One's Own: the History of Television and the Single Girl in America from 1960
    A Show of One's Own: The History of Television and the Single Girl in America from 1960. by Erin Kimberly Brown A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2015 © Erin Kimberly Brown 2015 Author's Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This thesis analyzes the image of the single girl in American history from 1960. The changes made to her lifestyle through technology, politics, education and the workforce are discussed, as is the impact made by the second-wave feminist movement. The evolution seen is traced in detail through five pivotal television series (That Girl, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Murphy Brown, Ally McBeal and Sex and the City) that displayed to millions of viewers across the nation how unmarried women were building their lives and the challenges that they experienced. These programs were an important part of their female audience's life, highlighting what was possible to achieve, yet they were not always greeted with the highest regard. Judgment of the single women's lifestyle was seen from writers and politicians who commented on their unmarried status, their sexuality and pregnancies outside of marriage. Even television networks and producers would, at times, be unconvinced of the single female's choices.

    TV LAND STAGES HISTORIC REUNION OF “THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW” CAST ON “HOT IN CLEVELAND” AS MARY TYLER MOORE, VALERIE HARPER AND CLORIS LEACHMAN GUEST STAR Georgia Engel Joins The Reunion As Recurring Character Mamie Sue New York, NY – March 22, 2013 – TV Land announced today that the ladies of “Hot in Cleveland” will soon be getting some special visitors in town as Mary Tyler Moore, Valerie Harper and Cloris Leachman reunite with their co-star of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” Betty White. In the episode, Elka (Betty White) and Mamie Sue (Georgia Engel) decide to get their bowling team back together, aptly named GLOB: the Gorgeous Ladies of Bowling. The team, which includes Elka, Mamie Sue, Diane (Moore), Peg (Leachman) and Angie (Harper), had a falling out decades ago after their championship season went to their heads. This is the first time in over 30 years that the five former castmates will be reunited on the sitcom stage. Mary Tyler Moore previously appeared on “Hot in Cleveland” as Elka’s cellmate in a season two episode. Shows like ‘Hot in Cleveland,’ which stars four women, would not be here today without ‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show’ and its incredible female-led cast,” said Larry W. Jones, President, TV Land. “Mary, Valerie, Cloris, Georgia and of course our Betty were all pioneers for women in television.” TV Land’s hit sitcom “Hot in Cleveland” returns for its summer season with a LIVE episode on Wednesday, June 19 at 10pm ET. The west coast will receive the live-to-tape version three hours later at 10pm PT.
