Mary Richards is a thirty-something single woman who settles in Minneapolis after breaking up with a boyfriend. She lands a job as an associate producer of the evening news at WJM-TV, which happens to be the area's lowest-rated station. Her boss, Lou Grant, hates her spunk but often looks to her to solve newsroom (or even personal) problems. Mary's other coworkers include news writer Murray Slaughter, egomaniacal anchorman Ted Baxter and "Happy Homemaker" Sue Ann Nivens (Betty White). Mary's home is a modest studio apartment -- and her upstairs neighbor, Rhoda Morgenstern, quickly becomes a good friend. Later in the series, Mary moves to a plush high-rise apartment before leaving Minneapolis and WJM for good.

Jennifer Keishin Armstrong New York Magazine/Vulture So much can go wrong with a series finale that many great shows have left us on a bum note. But The Mary Tyler Moore Show nailed it, so much so that finales hence would nod to this one in hopes of evoking a bit of that feeling through mere association. Sep 13, 2018 Full Review Emily St. James AV Club Lean, efficient, and beautifully moving. MTM made the argument that a woman could find her family in the workplace, not at home. "The Last Show" drives home the final point of that argument, before sending everyone out with a lovely grace note. Sep 12, 2018 Full Review Kay Gardella New York Daily News So long, Mary. Gee, we hate to see you go. Feb 9, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
