The Mary Tyler Moore Show - The Complete First Season

Summary: Read Our Lips: Release Season TWO!
Review: Just when you thought that Fox couldn't get any more clueless comes word that in March they will release a Season One "Starter Set" -- a single DVD with four episodes from season one.

Now, and here's the really inane part, this single DVD set, which will carry a ten dollar list price, will also come with a ten dollar off coupon for the Complete First Season set. In other words, pay ten bucks for four episodes, then use a ten dollar off coupon (that you have to pay ten bucks for) to buy the Complete First Season set which will then render the "Starter Set" obsolete.

Attention Fox ninnies: WE WANT SEASON TWO! Why is that so hard for you to grasp?

Summary: Before Its Time
Review: I have been collecting the FRASIER and CHEERS sets on DVD for over a year now. I decided I would allow myself to collect one more series (they are expensive). There was no doubt it would be MARY TYLER MOORE. I assumed it was yet to be released. I finally did a search on Amazon to see if it was forthcoming. I was shocked to see that it had been released over 2 years ago! I immediately ordered season 1.

In 2002, MTM must have been one of the first series released on DVD. Maybe the newness of the idea of collecting series on DVD had not caught on yet. Or maybe the $50 price tag was seen as high back then.

Now that everything is coming out on DVD and collecting series is popular, the studio should rerelease it and come out with seasons 2 through 7.

Summary: Great Show, but Shame on FOX TV
Review: This is a great classic, but unfortunately, FOX TV that now holds the rights for the MTM show does not seem to appreciate that. The first season is not digitally remastered and the sound is far from good.
What is worse is that they promised to release season 2 of the show in 2003, but two years later, no sign of it.
Email FOX at:

And let them know you want to see season 2 on DVD soon.
Shame on you, FOX.

Summary: One down, six to go.
Review: Dear Fox,

I'm so sorry that you have the ability to release this show, because we all know you're too f'en stupid to actually invest time or effort in quality TV shows, whether they were produced in the 1970s or in the 2000s.

I'm sorry also that you think satisfying the majority of the population who actually seem to accept reality shows as entertainment is good enough.

You have a jewel, and you are letting it fade by not releasing it. Please, just release the rest of the series - and I'm not saying season two alone, but ALL of them. If necessary, release World's Stupidest Cop Chases Volumes 12-27 simultaneously so that no one begins to suspect that you have any decent amount of taste.

Is it really hard for you to actually support good programs as well as the majority of crap that you currently push onto the masses?

Summary: Maybe it's time to play the race/gender card with MTM!
Review: Ok people, we've screamed and yelled and it's 3 yrs later and still no season 2 of MTM. I say it's time to use the gender card. Let's complain to Fox and tell them they are sexist for not releasing the rest of this show because it was an intelligent show starring a woman who was independent in the 70s. Yes, that's it! Maybe Fox doesn't like shows about women in power! How about Gordie? We have yet to see him, maybe they don't want to release season 2 because Gordie's black! Come one folks, we're desparate now, it's 3 yrs later and it's starting to look like they're NEVER going to release the rest of the Mary Tyler Moore Show on DVD. If our complaints won't be heard, why shouldn't NOW or the NAACP fight for us? Desparate times call for desparate measures. This show is one of the best shows of alltime, and the only reason it doesn't get released is because brain dead execs who enjoy crap like The Anna Nicole Smith show would rather release that instead. It's sickening.

Summary: A Classic Show - Definitely 5 Stars
Review: These four DVDs have the entire first season. They are on sale on Amazon and also available in some libraries. There are 24 episodes in the first season. Only the first season is available on DVD. A few other episodes are available on VHS. The series ran for 7 years until March 19, 1977 with 168 episodes in total. It was one of the top sitcoms of all time. It produced spinoffs: Rhoda, Phyllis and Lou Grant.
