involvement in local community affairs.

------------
Doris is a Working mom commuting daily to San Francisco where she
is employed as a secretary on a magazine called "Today's World"

Finally, and possibly influence by "The Mary Tyler Moore Show",

A complete change in format and cast. The working and
romantic life of a beautiful young bachelorette, Doris
Martin, General News Reporter for Today's World Magazine.
Background:
----------
The Doris Day Show (known as QUE SERA SERA in French) is probably the only
show in the history of Television to have been brought on the air without
the star's knowledge or approval!
CBS signed Doris Day exclusively in the spring of 1967, without her
knowledge, through her husband and manager, Martin Melcher. Variety,
called it "One of the industry's all time plush talent deals."
The Melchers would own the negatives of the show, plus all re-run rights,
and the rights to produce movies for CBS( the movies were later switched
for two extra-ordinary music specials featuring the vocal talents of
Miss Day). CBS was ecstatic.
