She wore pants and flats as Laura Petrie on The Dick Van Dyke Show when other 1960s TV housewives were in dresses and heels. In the ’70s, she starred as happily single Mary Richards, whose Mary Tyler Moore Show family consisted of her friends and her TV station coworkers. In both decades, Mary Tyler Moore, who died in 2017 at age 80, was a funny, winning blend of poise and vulnerability that viewers—especially women—connected to. One of those women, groundbreaking TV producer Lena Waithe (The Chi) spearheaded the new documentary Being Mary Tyler Moore (streaming this May on HBO Max) with help from Moore’s husband, Dr. Robert Levine. It chronicles the star’s highs but also her lows, including her struggle with alcohol and her son’s untimely death. “Mary’s known as the woman with the eternal smile,” says director James Adolphus, “but if you truly want to get to know your heroes,...

BBC’s Breaking News Twitter account announced Mary Tyler Moore’s death Thursday — four years after it occurred. Moore, an Emmy-winning entertainer, died Jan. 25, 2017.
“US actress Mary Tyler Moore dies aged 80” was the headline on the obituary embedded in the now-deleted tweet. The tweet itself said her death was confirmed by her publicist.
“An earlier tweet about the death of Mary Tyler Moore in 2017 was sent from @BBCBreaking due to a technical error. This has subsequently been removed,” said a follow-up from the BBC World account.
The late actress trended on Twitter as a result of the tweet. Users spent Thursday morning and afternoon reminiscing about “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” suggesting followers listen to its theme song for a pick-me-up, while others posted tributes and memorials.
Born in Brooklyn in 1936, Moore made appearances on series including “The Tab Hunter Show” and “77 Sunset Strip” before landing the role of Laura Petrie,...

This article contains spoilers for WandaVision episode 8.
Like episode 4 before it, WandaVision episode 8 drops the show’s sitcom homage format entirely to delve deeper into the context of the world outside the hexagon and Wanda’s own history. That doesn’t mean, however, that “Previously On…” still doesn’t find the time to shout out some classic television.
In fact, this penultimate installment may feature WandaVision’s most important sitcom reference yet by taking things back to the very first episode with the help of The Dick Van Dyke Show. Allow us to explain…

Once upon a time, in a land near and dear and a time not too long ago, women on television generally fell into one of two categories: the happy homemaker, or the single woman who may have a career (typically teacher or secretary) but is mainly looking for a husband. And whereas a woman’s choice to be any of these things is wonderful, most homemakers generally do not do their chores in pearls, pumps and perfectly pressed dresses, and women have proven that they are adept at careers beyond the traditional.

Going back through the over seven decades of commercial television, it is somewhat amusing but also distressing to come across the many restrictions women faced as they attempted to bring real women to life on the small screen. In 1952, Lucille Ball‘s Lucy Ricardo was one of the first pregnant characters on television; however,...

Why Women Kill should be much more than it is.
Mark Cherry assembles a truly magnificent cast for what is billed as a darkly comedic drama, but after two episodes (all that were available for me to review) it's very difficult to connect with the characters, and that's troublesome.
Marc Cherry is no stranger to a good comedic drama. In fact, he's a master.
With both Desperate Housewives and Devious Maids, he managed to capture lightning in a bottle. Twice!
With soapy twists galore, the characters on those series were still straightforward, and their motivations, while not pure, always came from a place of soapland logic.
Why Women Kill, on the other hand, is a little too heavy on comedy at the expense of character development.
The series doesn't hide its intent. Not only is it in the title, but the opening credits are a cute collection of comic book...

Every week, IndieWire asks a select handful of TV critics two questions and publishes the results on Tuesday.
This week’s question:Who’s your favorite TV father? Why? (Characters from current and old shows are fair game.)
Eric Deggans (@deggans), NPR
I wrote a piece for NPR a few years ago about how most of what I learned about being a dad, I soaked up from TV. My own father is gone now; we reconciled when I was older, but when I was a kid, he wasn’t around as much as I wanted. I never lived with a father in the house, so I knew nothing about what it was like. For a long while, I thought most married couples were like Rob and Laura Petrie in “The Dick Van Dyke Show”; sleeping in two twin beds separated by a nightstand. So when I saw John Amos as James Evans Sr.
