"Moore" ran from 1970 to 1977 on CBS and starred Moore as Mary Richards, a single woman living in Chicago and working at a broadcast news station with her boss Lou Grant (Ed Asner). She also frequently spent time with her best friend and neighbor Rhoda (Valerie Harper).
In Minneapolis, where the show was set, a statue of Moore throwing her hat in the air as depicted in the show's opening credits was dedicated in 2002.
"The Moore show... pioneered reality comedy and the establishment of clearly defined and motivated secondary characters," an Associated Press reporter wrote while the show was in its fourth season.
