[@estellagraz]

My dad Sonny Curtis wrote and sang this song. So obviously I'm biased, but I happen to adore it. :) Note that this is the intro from a later season. The first season did not include the iconic line, "Who can turn the world on with her smile" and ended with "You might just make it after all." He was called into the studio to re-record the theme after she did, indeed make it.

[@indigothecat]

What I like best about this opening is that it speaks directly to the premise of the series. Mary Richards, who had just turned 30, had a broken marriage engagement, and in what many would have considered a ruined Old Maid state, Mary decided to pull up stakes and move to the city to find a secretary job. She ended up landing Assistant Producer instead. Hence the lyrics, "You're gonna make it after all." Her life was NOT ruined by her age nor broken engagement. :)

This show, along with “Taxi” and “That Girl” remind me of when I couldn’t sleep and my dad was always knocked out. So I would go into his bed as a kid just because it was emitting some sort of light and sound from the television. I’d watch all these shows, Mary Tyler Moore and Taxi were my favorite. I remember being 6 years old and watching all these shows while my dad snored in his bed. I wish I had a better childhood, but at least something normal makes me reminiscent.

[@erinescobar8610]

Everything...the music, the imagery, the enormous sense of hope and optimism to this day overwhelms me. The few seconds of this piece are as powerful to me today as they were in the early 1970 when I first watched them a confused and lonely 14 year old gay boy in suburban Louisville, Kentucky. I watched the opening scene each week and my mind reacted as if I'd been hit by a lightning bolt of OPTIMISM. And decades later, I am still overwhelmed. I watched every move, attitude which reassured me that life would gets better (and it did). Thank you, Mary, thank you, MTM.

A staple show in my house growing up. Things were so different then. Our choices were limited. 3 Networks and PBS. When the new TV Schedules hit the airwaves in the fall of 2022 it will be 52 years ago when this extraordinary show brightened our lives and made "feel-good" TV a must. What is sad that all the major characters of this show have all passed on. That is a wakeup call for me too. I am aging.

[@Kno3ledge]

Let me say this. As a Child that used to watch this intro in the 80's 90's on Nick at Night, I absolutely love and adore this woman. But I cannot tell you what this show is about. I don't think I even watched a single episode. But still this song is a huge nostalgic part of my childhood. That is crazy when you think about it. I am damn near on the verge of tears listening to this because it reminds me of my childhood, yet I cant tell you a thing about the show. Crazy right?

[@AlfioGarrone]

I don't understand why you specify that you are black. This show is made for people searching for the person who share their love. It dosn't matter the color. Maybe you can realize your in way to vero this show and just the intro music may lead you to remember a particular stage of your life. I suppose that a very small part of people saw an single episode, because it is very old. But almost all remember something of their childhood.

Among its most distinguishable features, the TRÈS, TRÈS POPULAR theme song “Love Is All Around” (composed and performed by Sonny Curtis).

Like this show, back then it was a lot like that for my mom, She had to make it on her own without a husband and she did it all very well. Many of the stories written for the show could be applied to real life struggles back then and it was easy to relate to it.

Born in '68...Love Mary and spinoff Rhoda. Oh gosh...I also miss Welcome Back Cotter, Sanford & Son, Good Times, '70s/early '80s stuff too numerous to name. I feel OLD & YOUNG at once, listening to this ❤️❤️❤️...GOD, how I miss '70s girls!

[@mariaginty4890]

What struck me as a kid watching this show was that theme tune first and the show second. BUT I was gobsmacked as a child that Mary Tyler Moore had her OWN production company also which was evident at the end with the cat meowing. I was in awe. Made her own show plus spin offs too! Kudos ❤❤

[@59nerevar]

One of the best shows, ever. People were nicer then, too.

[@brianharrell3000]

I agree :)

[@Gildedbutterfly1976]

They were.

[@spinynorman1562]

Oh, come on! Nothing wrong with a bit of nostalgia, but "People were nicer then"? No, people are just people, back then, today and a hundred years from now. You were probably just happier back then, that's all.

Not in NY...

[@richardlacey4923]

Look at the people in the show .. what’s missing? There’s your answer!

Brings back good memories from my childhood in the 1970's

Something you dont see expressed anymore on tv. Gratitude for living

What a beautiful woman and doll Mary Tyler Moore was and I watched many of her interviews and she was exactly like this in real life.

[@dreadfulspiller8766]

I was a kid living in Minneapolis when this show came on and this reminds me of my childhood. I also went up that escalator in the ids a million times and they used to have an observation deck on the top floor with a ufo museum. Not to mention a movie theater in the basement and a woolworths.

[@MasterAceman123456]

My fave of all the theme song videos, well done Sir.

[@brianharrell3000]

You're welcome. She was such a good influence on society.

[@dreadfulspiller8766]

My mom moved us to Minneapolis in 68 and watching the intro reminds me of the city when I was a kid. I use to go downtown as much as I could mostly to Woolworths in the IDS building and I even saw a movie in the theater they had in the basement plus the observation deck with a UFO museum. Dayton's was fun to go to when they had the christmas display and JC Penney's had a huge first floor toy section.

I'm a 64 year old Scotsman who absolutely loved this show in the 70s. Happy days , ( no pun intended).

[@shannonquinn8687]

For all the latchkey kids out there: thank you Mary!

[@todddavis4274]

I love this show! "Ted Baxters Famous Broadcasters School" is one of my favorites. Every episode is great though. Compare old shows to the newer ones and the new ones SUCK. I can watch 10 new shows and never laugh once. I watch 1 episode of Mary Tyler Moore and laugh many times.The 70s were so much fun! Hello to everyone!

[@kathrynbaker5188]

Me too. I’m obsessed with Mary’s first apartment and with Phyllis’ clothes. Epic.

[@elmaster27428]

So many funny segments took place from inspiration of this theme song thank you Mary Tyler Moore

[@henrym4484]

I remember one time I randomly heard this song in Universal Studios when I was leaving the theme park lol

[@michellepost5232]

Reminds me of my 1970s childhood and teen years!

[@anthonyhawkins8613]

I love the song! Your dad did such a great job writing and singing the song!

[@ericericson3535]

This was perhaps the birth of really good sit-com TV. The script was performed before a live audience and appealed to an audience that knew skillful writing and didn't depend on canned laughter and pratfalls. It also highlighted the ensemble cast, so that each week a different actor was given a good chunk of time. Sue Ann Nivens, Murray, the head writer, Ted Baxter, Rhoda, Phyllis, Lou Grant...the list is endless!

[@monicamaratuech1426]
