In 2013 I guarantee you 1 of these people will die. Chuck Berry,BB King, or Fats Domino. If not this year, then in the next 20 years for sure.

Is that a threat?

One Day at a Time was one of those early "feminist" programs where all the women were smart, tough, strong survivors and all the men were idiots. Cagney & Lacey was also in that category, as was Alice and to a lesser extent, The Mary Tyler Moore show.

Out of all the programs you mentioned, Mary Tyler Moore was the first and among tv shows, MTM was considered a pioneer. I don't know how well the show holds up today, but she was revolutionary.

And among women in cop shows, while Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless blew the roof off the genre, it was Angie Dickinson, before Kate Jackson and the other "angels," Lynda Carter (wonder woman) and Lindsay Wagoner (the bionic woman), but what made One Day At A Time successful (initially) was that it was a Norman Lear show (All in the Family, The Jeffersons, Maude) so it had studio backing, big time.
