The concept of the series, which is considered the first sitcom in the history of television, which was completely focused on the life of a young and independent woman, was based on the personal experience of Marlo Thomas [3] .

The series lasted five seasons and had high ratings until the final, however, the decision to end it was made by Marlo Thomas herself, who was not only the leading woman, but also the producer.
