Mary and Lou and Rhoda and Ted: And All the Brilliant Minds Who Made the Mary Tyler Moore Show a Classic Paperback - 2013
by Jennifer Keishin Armstrong
The story of the making of a classic and groundbreaking TV show, as experienced by its producers, writers, and cast. Armstrong introduces readers to the show's creators; its principled producer, and the writers and actors who attracted millions of viewers.
Summary
When writer-producers James L. Brooks and Allan Burns dreamed up an edgy show about a divorced woman with a career, the CBS executives they pitched replied: âÈêAmerican audiences wonâÈçt tolerate divorce in a seriesâÈç lead any more than they will tolerate Jews, people with mustaches, and people who live in New York.âÈë
Forty years later, The Mary Tyler Moore Show is one of the most beloved and recognizable television shows of all time. Jennifer Keishin ArmstrongâÈçs Mary and Lou and Rhoda and Ted tells the stories behind the making of this popular classic: the groundbreaking female writers who lent real-life stories to their TV scripts; the men who created the indelible characters; the lone woman network executive who cast the legendary ensembleâÈ'and advocated for this provocative showâÈ'and the colorful cast of actors who made it all work. James L. Brooks, Grant Tinker, Allan Burns, Valerie Harper, Cloris Leachman, Betty White, Gavin MacLeod, Ed Asner, Ted Knight, Georgia Engel, and MooreâÈ'they all came together to make a show that changed womenâÈçs lives and television itself. Mary and Lou and Rhoda and Ted is the tale of how they did it.
