====Later projects==== On January 22, 1976, while season six of ''The Mary Tyler Moore Show'' was in progress, Moore appeared in ''Mary's Incredible Dream'', an experimental musical/variety special for CBS,<ref>{{harvnb|Moore|1995|pp=190β192}}</ref> and which also featured [[Ben Vereen]]. She described it as "a totally different concept from anything ever attempted on television... We go from song to dance to song and back again, telling a story of the eternal cycle of man. If viewers don't want to follow the story, they can just enjoy the music and dancing."<ref>A first: 'Mary's Incredible Dream'", by Vernon Scott, UPI report, ''Lowell (MA) Sun'', January 5, 1976, p.24</ref> In 1978, she starred in a second CBS special, ''How to Survive the '70s and Maybe Even Bump Into Happiness'', where she received significant support from a strong lineup of guest stars: [[Bill Bixby]], [[John Ritter]], [[Harvey Korman]] and Dick Van Dyke. In the 1978β79 season, Moore also starred in two unsuccessful CBS variety series. The first, ''[[Mary (1978 TV series)|Mary]]'', featured [[David Letterman]], [[Michael Keaton]], [[Swoosie Kurtz]] and [[Dick Shawn]] in the supporting cast. After CBS canceled that series, it brought Moore back in March 1979 in a new, retooled show, ''[[The Mary Tyler Moore Hour]]''. Described as a "sit-var" (part situation comedy/part variety series), it had Moore portraying a TV star putting on a variety show.<ref name=museum/> The program lasted just 11 episodes.<ref>{{cite news |last=Heffernan |first=Virginia |title=Mary Tyler Moore, Who Incarnated the Modern Woman on TV, Dies at 80 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/25/arts/television/mary-tyler-moore-dead.html|access-date=January 26, 2017 |work=The New York Times |date=January 26, 2017 |url-access=limited}}</ref> In the 1985β86 season, Moore returned to CBS in a sitcom titled ''[[Mary (1985 TV series)|Mary]]'', which suffered from poor reviews, sagging ratings, and strife within the production crew.
