One of the most overrated sitcoms ever ... The show is a complete rip-off of The Dick Van Dyke Show from format, story lines and character profiles ... Cases in point: 1) Equal time between work and home life, 2) Tyranical boss, 3) Quirky neighbor and best friend, 4) 2-person workmates - one married, one single, 5) Story lines centered around conflict with boss and whining of co-workers, 6) Business centered around entertainment business, and 7) Mary stutters during uncomfortable time (mimicking Dick) - just to name a few ... They even stole scenes including the final episode with the famous group hug - a complete rip-off of a scene in "A Ghost of A, Chantz" from the DVD Show episode ... Acting was very over the top and unrealistic in tone ... This was even worsened with the over inclusion of the unappealing Rhoda and Phyllis characters ... Lastly, unlike Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore was just not funny, not even in the slightest - and mostly not even in her own show.
