The Mary Tyler Moore Show still holds up, even moreso than recent hit sitcoms

While shows like Friends and Sex and the City feel out of touch with today's times, Mary Tyler Moore still feels relevant as it celebrates its 50th anniversary next year. "That’s a tribute to the show’s quality and charm, but also to its politics," says Jennifer Keishin Armstrong, who wrote a book on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. "Unlike a lot of other comedies in the 'vintage TV' category, the show does not mine jokes from sexual harassment, gay panic, or race and gender stereotypes. The Mary Tyler Moore Show churned out great episodes through most of the 1970s that are not just inoffensive, but feel right at home in today’s more inclusive, forward-thinking culture — and will still make you laugh. That’s a remarkable feat for a show that’s now middle-aged."
