The Mary Tyler Moore Show was one of the most popular television series of the 1970s. It was a sophisticated comedy about the life of a single woman working at a TV station in Minneapolis. It wasn’t an issue-oriented show like All in the Family or Maude, but it got points across in subtle ways, making Mary more of a feminist as the series went on and tackling anti-Semitism, divorce, workplace discrimination, and, in a way, homophobia. Actually, in the third-season episode My Brother’s Keeper, it showed that an attractive, likable man can be gay — and it’s no big deal.
