My review of seasons 1 to 4: Buy this set! At $15 a season for what is arguably
the finest sitcom in history it is worth it. It grew from a good if conventional first
season to something truly special in seasons 3 and 4. It had no harsh edges but
was funny and engaging and lacked false sentimentality. While mostly avoiding the
issues of the day it did present the steady growth and maturity of Mary Richards
(the lead character played by Ms. Moore) that fit the maturing of the feminist
movement in the 1970s and did so in a realistic way. But the writing and humor
always took first place (I can think of only one true "message show" and it was one
of the worst episodes of the series). BELOW is the truly important news though and
Amazon helped bring this about.
The great news for MTM fans (and I apologize if this has been posted here already)
is that a Fox executive has just announced they will now release the last 3 seasons
on DVD. Thank you Fox, Oprah, and especially the persistent fan base here at Amazon.
I had frankly given up on this happening as I thought the release of seasons 3 & 4 at
lower prices but still disappointing sales represented Fox's giving it its last "old-college
try." But apparently despite "financial realities" Fox realizes how special it is to own
the rights to MTM and that with so much else of lesser quality being released they should
complete the series on DVD. Again, thanks to all! And if you've never seen MTM, you
won't regret purchasing it. The writing, acting, and especially character development
are top notch!

I'm an unsual 26 year old. I LOVE the Mary Tyler Moore show. I watched a lot of Nick-at-Nite growing up and the Dick Van Dyke show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and I Love Lucy were staples in my house. When I saw MTM on sale for $20 one day, I had to have it. Because it's actually been many years since I've watched it, I thought I might not like it as much. But, I really did. The characters can still make me laugh. Though the plot lines aren't as stirring as some on TV today, there is something so comforting about the simplicity of the show.
There are also great features on the DVD - interviews with many members of the cast, talking about the creation of the show and why it was so popular.
If you're a MTM fan, it's well worth it.
Our whole family is LOVING this! 5 out of 5 stars.

What fun to relive this classic comedy...starting at the very first program. My 11-year-old son had never even heard of the series, but is enjoying the programs every bit as much as us!

MTM- disc missing 3 out of 5 stars.

DVD came in a timely manner, however, the first disc was replaced by the second disc. So I received 2 second discs and one third disc but no first.
DVD REVIEW 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
My only regret about this DVD is the fact that the company who put it on DVD has no plans as of now to release the remaining three seasons, which is a crying shame, since this show is one of my very favorites, and I was born years AFTER the last season aired on television in the late 1970's. I can only hope they come to their senses.
As entertaining now as when it first came out 5 out of 5 stars.

Mary Tyler Moore 3rd. season is something you have to see if you are a fan. It kept us totally entertained, like the very first time we saw it. The third season is a wonderful mix of characters and keeps you entertained from start to finish.
"Mary Tyler Moore" #3 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
This is yet another funny season's worth of one of television's classic comedies, full of (again) 24 great outings worth of laughter. There are several standout outings, but the showcase in this #3 of "Mary Tyler Moore" is the penultimate episode, "Put on a Happy Face," 2/24/73. Mary is nominated for a Teddy Award (television editors award), but prior to the ceremonies, everything starts going south for her. She gets a flat tire, slips on a waxed floor, unknowingly throws out the obituaries, drips coffee on her outfit at work, starts sneezing and sniffling, and, by the time of the presentation, is a general wreck. Fortunately, she does win an award at the ceremony (for a Sunday public-affairs show, I think), so all is not lost. All that happens to her in the interim, however, illustrates why this outing is one of the showcases of "MTM." "Farmer Ted and the News" is another standout, this one centering around Ted-- or more to the point, Lou signing a contract for Ted to appear in ads for other Twin Cities stations. When it affects Ted's performance as WJM anchorman, Lou regrets having signed that contract, and subsequently puts a stop to the commercials.
The episodes in this release are very good and funny (including the showcase "Put on a Happy Face"), but there is something different about #3 as compared to #1 and #2-- there are no bonuses on this release. #1 had a good selection of bonuses, including Fall 1970 CBS premiere promos, a trivia challenge, Emmy clips, and more. #2 had more extras, including a look inside the making of the #4 title sequence in 1973 (as part of a local newsmagazine called "Moore on Sunday" for WCCO-TV channel 4, the CBS station in the Twin Cities), another trivia challenge, more Emmy clips, commentaries on certain outings, a Mad Magazine spoof, and more (though why the documentary inside the making of the #4 title sequence is not on the #4 release instead of the #2 release is anybody's guess). #3, however, is completely barebones-- just the episodes and that's it. Zero, zip, zilch where bonuses are concerned. It's packaged pretty well though--each of the 3 discs gets its own case, and the covers of these cases all follow the front box art.
In short, despite the barebones nature of #3, this is still worth getting for the fact that it has one of the showcase outings of "MTM"-- that being "Put on a Happy Face." This should be the drawing power that draws you to a purchase of this release.

Finally! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
Each season does, indeed, get better (the three unreleased seasons are the ones that won best comedy Emmys). And, according to yesterday's New York Times, Fox is caving to demand from fans (including Oprah) and making plans to put the last three seasons on DVD.
Just a "little" disappointed... but not by much! 3 out of 5 stars.

I spent many Saturday nights throughout the 70's watching Sonny and Cher, the Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Bob Newhart Show with my family before being sent to bed :o( I am very pleased with this box set, but I only wish the transfers were digitally enhanced (like they were done with Gilligan's Island, McHale's Navy, and F-Troop, for instance). Also, there are no bonuses. No "Where are they now's", no bloopers, behind-the-scenes, interviews, or any other goodies for a television program as popular as this was in its day. Still, I am looking forward to the next season already!
Optimism for Remaining Seasons 5 out of 5 stars.

The Sept 1 review by James (Minnesota) refers to a New York Times article reporting that the remaining three seasons will soon be scheduled for release. The article's very encouraging. It identifies the source of the good news as 20th Century Fox Entertainment's Sidney Feldstein, Senior Vice-President, Corporate & Marketing Communications.
The article by Mark Harris appeared in the Times' Aug 2 issue. It can be accessed in its entirety at nytimes.com by entering Mary Tyler Moore Show in that website's search box.

A show way ahead of its time 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
The mary tyler moore show back in season 1 and 2 really broke ground, it showed things on TV that were taboos at the time.
today over three decades later its almost hard to believe but the show retained its quality and class and its till fits. The acting by Mary Tyler Moore,Edward Asner, Gavin MacLeod and valery harper was just phenomenal.
Its just as funny and socially relevant today as it was back then.
Ed Asner is probably one of the best actors on TV ever, he alone is worth the watch.
If you want to watch a true classic, great acting and hilarious comedy you found it.
best show ever 5 out of 5 stars.

Great Show 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
What a great show! The actors and characters are not only believable they're likable. Not only that... the storylines are funny and interesting. That is opposed to being insulting and stupid. To understand how this is possible a viewer would have to realize that this sitcom is thirty five years old and that in it's day The Mary Tyler Moore Show was the best. What that means is that it was better than a lot of other well written situation comedies. Unnecessary to specify 'of the time'.
This is a good show for anyone suffering the advanced cynicism and bitterness commonly associated with exposure to THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR, MARRIED WITH CHILDREN or FAMILY GUY... If you're so miserable this show can't make you crack a smile have your cable disconnected and go on Luvox.

Get the point. 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 6 people found this review helpful.
I think that most of the reviewers for this are completely missing the entire point of this release. It's not for people who already like Mary Tyler Moore. Those people will buy the complete seasons. It's for people like me who have never seen an episode of it but would like to check it out. The DVD has a few episodes of the classic show that will hopefully get the viewer "hooked" so that he or she will buy the whole season. With a $10 coupon for the first season included in the package, this 'Best of' is essentially a pretty smart marketing technique to get you to see the show (because you're only down ten bucks if you don't like it) and then (since they're convinced you will like it) buy the whole season. It is in no way, shape, or form meant to replace or even really supplement the first season. It is meant to get the curious consumer to buy the first season. So I give it five stars. Because that's a pretty ingenious idea.
The Ten Bucks Back Coupon Is Expired! No Longer Being Offered! So It's Not Worth It! 1 out of 5 stars.
4 of 9 people found this review helpful.
The Mary Tyler Moore Show is a great classic sitcom but why buy this starter set that only has about four episodes from the first season when you can buy the complete first season DVD boxset and get these eipisodes and all the rest of the season one episodes? And don't give me any malarkey about it being worth it because you get 10 dollars back with the included coupon because that ten bucks back deal has long expired! Only people who like to waste money would buy this!
