Welcome To “Mary Richards” Apartment!
At first glance, this looks like it could be the ‘I Love Lucy’ set as sitcom production is still done basically the same way with the same studio and live audience layouts.
‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show’ was done at CBS Studio Center on Radford Avenue in LA from 1970 till 1977. Actually, MTM Enterprises co owned the property with CBS and the show was produced by her then husband, Grant Tinker.
This apartment set is quite large. I wonder it the WJM newsroom set was just to the left of this? This is the only photo I’ve ever seen of the show in production but would love to know an see more, so please share any pictures and experiences you had with the show.
By the way, please remember to visit the Eyes Of A Generation page daily…I can guarantee you a better experience here that you get viewing this in your timeline. Many times, most of you will miss several of the daily posts! – Bobby Ellerbee
Take a look at the couch. It is not the dark green couch. Were they thinking of redecorating then? I have never seen this couch used in any MTM episode…
Wasn’t the fictional television station “WJM”?
40 years later,CBS Studio Center is still one of the busiest studios in LA. CBS’s “The Talk” is produced there,instead of CBS Television City(which is still home to “The Young & The Restless” & “The Bold & The Beautiful”)
