Sandy Duncan had a lot of appeal in these days as did Karen Valentine. In the wake of the Mary Tyler Moore show, it was hoped they would carry on this theme of the budding independent woman theme. Sadly, like most actresses, once their "youth" began to fade, so did their careers, one inequality that was not so easy to overcome for women then or now.
I remember the show, though I DID NOT realise how much the opening credits were like Mary Tyler Moore's... except Sandy didn't throw her hat up in the air in Nocellet Mall and have some vinegar-drinking old lady glare at her...
@troyboy7962 I found out the answer to your question. Written by Alan and Marilyn Bergman, and Dave Grusin. I was curious, also. I used to watch the program and loved the theme song. Very pretty, light, and breezy.
This was her second sitcom. Her first, "Funny Face" was an overnight hit...until she had eye surgery, then the show itself was cancelled due to a big rating drop. She was one of my favorites growing up!
@Lydiavandyke3000 she appeared on the Million Dollar Duck with Dean Jones who was a Disney regular and The Cat From Outer Space. The latter was the last film done by the late Norman Tokar

yeah I agree. especially the way white men and white catholic men rape little boys and white husbands rape the crap out of their daughters every night.
Sandy Duncan's first show was called "Funny Face." Sadly, she got in an accident and nearly died. She has a glass eye. When she was finally able to work again "Funny Face" was re-tooled into the inferior "Sandy Duncan Show." A tragic accident put an end to a really funny and clever comedy.
Oh, for God sakes! Despite what people thing/hear/whatever, Sandy Duncan does NOT have a glass eye. She did lose her sight in her left eye, but it was due to a tumor behind the eye, which damaged the optic nerve. Let me say it again...she does NOT have a glass eye!
I wonder how much scheduling had to do with her early success ? Wasn't Funny Face scheduled right after All In The Family and right before Mary Tyler Moore? When "The Sandy Duncan Show" aired it didn't have that same cushy time slot ..Just a thought...
I just remember that her career never really recovered the energy it had, because she was so hot when Funny Face was on the air. It's too bad. She was always a wonderful performer.
I remember the reason why Funny Face ended was because Sandy Duncan had cancer; when she made the The Sandy Duncan Show, I remember that her character no longer had the cutesy naivete; she became a little serious and less slapstick, and viewers knowing her history, no longer found her funny; kind of sad. Just my opinion...
The series was a success and was a Top 10 show, but Duncan began experiencing severe headaches on the set and a tumor was discovered on her optic nerve. She had to leave the series and it was consequently pulled from the air. Following a lengthy and delicate operation, the doctors managed to save her eye but she lost all vision in it.
.......The following year the show was revamped and retitled. This second incarnation of her series (above) failed to regain the audience that the first incarnation had had. It was canceled by mid-December.
Who do you think wrote it on IMDB? So you are way off on your criticism. We'll give you an F for today but next time actually know what you're talking about.

@zamusicza A lot of people think she has a glass eye, but she's actually blind in one eye from a brain tumor.

I am in agreement with you; Funny Face was wonderful; and the Sandy Duncan Show didn't measure up, but at least, they did give it a try.

You just copied and pasted that. I know because I just read those words on her Imdb page.
How about a little attribution, rather than trying to rip words and pass them off as your own memory.
