[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 167577, member: 7"] I own [I]The Mary Tyler Moore Show [/I]in its entirety, while I've seen little --- if any of to be precise --- of the two spin-offs. Spinning off popular or crowd-pleasing secondary characters, or, guest stars in some cases, was apparently trendy in the 1970s. Norman Lear had the majority of his hits because [I]All in the Family [/I]introduced them to the TV audience. For a long while, despite my considerable favoring of classic TV, I had refused to watch [I]The Mary Tyler Moore Show[/I]. Through online forums, such as this one, and discussions with other classic TV fans, I had convinced myself that by watching the show that had been so hyped, I would be disappointed. I remember catching some reruns during a Fourth of July marathon a few years back, and I caught on to the jive of it quickly, and I became a fan. I bought the first and six seasons (an odd combination, I know) from Walmart, before a couple ago, I found the complete series there for thirty-five dollars. I know [I]Rhoda [/I]and [I]Phyllis [/I]each suffered from format and cast changes, and perhaps network disappoint in shows they felt had potential to have long runs like the series they spun off of.
