Mary Tyler Moore died today (1/25/17). This incredible actress anchored one of the best ensemble casts in television history. In this opening episode, we are introduced to Lou Grant (Ed Asner), Rhoda Morgenstern (Valerie Harper), Ted Baxter (Ted Knight), Murray Slaughter (Gavin McCloud) and a place that would be like a home to her. There was some controversy about this show in 1970. A young attractive woman who gets a job at a male dominated station, WJM in Minneapolis, being a role model for young women everywhere. I don't know if there is another actress that could have pulled off this role with so much class. The first episode is about relationships developing. It never went downhill after that.
