In the 1970s, she created one of TV's first career-woman sitcom heroines in The Mary Tyler Moore Show. But it was as Mary Richards, the plucky Minneapolis TV news producer on The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970-77), that Moore truly made her mark. Moore never achieved the individual success with a television series that she enjoyed with Mary Tyler Moore. Another variety show, The Mary Tyler Moore Hour, spent a few months on the air in 1979.
