In the news
Mary Tyler Moore Show spawned three notable spinoffs
“The 1970s hit sitcom The Mary Tyler Moore Show generated three separate series by focusing on supporting characters after the original ended. Two of Mary Richards' friends, Rhoda Morgenstern and Phyllis Lindstrom, received their own half‑hour comedies, while newsroom boss Lou Grant became the lead of an hour‑long drama about print journalism. Rhoda enjoyed strong ratings, debuting at the top of the Nielsen charts and earning Valerie Harper an Emmy before declining after a controversial divorce storyline. Phyllis lasted only two seasons amid behind‑the‑scenes issues, whereas Lou Grant ran for five seasons as a critically acclaimed drama.”
