One Boyfriend Too Many
The Mary Tyler Moore Show

Why didn't the show keep Ted Bessell for a few more guest shots? Were they trying to avoid boyfriend plots or change the show's narrative? Ted had so much charisma I think he could have added to the show without risking Mary's single career woman status. Maybe it was just too soon. The MTM show was pretty perfect and was my favorite show growing up in the Seventies. I think 30 Rock incorporated Tina Fey's love interest beautifully without sacrificing her character's narrative. It was her story and she remained the star of the show and it was perfect. But that was 30 years after Mary.
I would really like to know why Ted wasn't included in more episodes.
