The Mary Tyler Moore Show (originally known simply by the name of the show's star, Mary Tyler Moore) is an American television sitcom created by James L. Brooks and Allan Burns that aired on CBS from 1970 to 1977. The program was a television breakthrough, with the first never-married, independent career woman as the central character.
It is one of the most acclaimed television programs in US television history. It received high praise from critics, including Emmy Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series three years in a row (1975–77), and continued to be honored long after the final episode aired. In 2013, the Writers Guild of America ranked The Mary Tyler Moore Show No. 6 in its list of the 101 Best Written TV Series of All Time.
Mary Richards (Moore) is a single woman who, at age 30, moves to Minneapolis after being jilted by her boyfriend of two years. She applies for a secretarial job at TV station WJM, but that is already taken. She is instead offered the position of associate producer of the station's "Six O'Clock News". She befriends her tough but lovable boss Lou Grant (Ed Asner), newswriter Murray Slaughter (Gavin MacLeod), and buffoonish anchorman Ted Baxter (Ted Knight). Mary later becomes producer of the show.
Standin' naked in the rain
Knowing things will never be the same
On and on and on
Again trying hard to find the words to say
I feel that I've been here before
this feeling I can't take it anymore
I turn the key
Unlock the door
I see you standing there
Now I'm sure
Now I'm sure
I'm reaching out to you
I'm reaching out to you
To see you smile again
Standin' naked in the rain
Knowing things will never be the same
On and on and on
Again trying hard to find the words to say
I feel that I've been here before
this feeling I can't take it anymore
I turn the key
Unlock the door
I see you standing there
Now I'm sure
Now I'm sure
I'm reaching out to you
I'm reaching out to you
