Mary Tyler Moore's 1985 series has her playing Mary Brenner, help columnist for a chicago tabloid. This episode features Patrick Macnee and the late Robert Pastorelli as Mr. Yummy.
Mary Tyler Moore gives this show the briefest of descriptions in her autobiography and doesn't mention by name a single cast member or the two "producer/writers" in charge of the show, who happen to be the highly-successful Ken Levine and David Isaacs. She basically said the show failed because they lacked to ability to develop characters or situations -- and she hated the show's premise, which she said was mean-spirited characters trying to top each other with one-liners. Given their success elsewhere, I would say the show's failure was likely more down to the lack of chemistry or connection between her and them. Kind of a shame, because I thought it had potential.. but she's right that it was hard to like any of the characters in the brief time it was on.
