Description:
Welcome back to WJM-TV Minneapolis! Over its seven year run, The Mary Tyler Moore Show won twenty-nine Emmy Awards. Now get ready to turn back the dial to 1970 and rejoin the gang from WJM - the lowest-rated (but most hilarious) evening news show in Minneapolis. Relive all the laughter with Mary, Lou, Murray, Ted, Rhoda and Phyllis as the first season of this classic TV show arrives on DVD.
Amazon.com:
She finally made it after all... to DVD! Created by James L. Brooks and Allan Burns, The Mary Tyler Moore Show is the very model of a tailor-made star vehicle. It transformed Moore from Dick Van Dyke's wacky housewife to empowered thirtysomething single woman determined to make it on her own. Moore was the anchor of a peerless ensemble who brought to life characters so indelible that three of them, Ed Asner's Lou Grant, Valerie Harper's Rhoda, and Cloris Leachman's Phyllis, would each get their own series. The 24 episodes that comprise the Emmy-winning first season (1970) hilariously set the stage for what would become one of television's most beloved sitcoms, ranked by TV Guide in 2002 as the 11th greatest of all time (it should have been higher!). The classic pilot episode is a master class of character-based comedy writing, as Mary meets her future "family" at the WJM newsroom, as well as upstairs neighbor Rhoda, with whom she would form perhaps TV's greatest female buddy team.
Among the most memorable episodes are "Support Your Local Mother," which won an Emmy for Outstanding Writing and introduced Nancy Walker as Rhoda's maddening mother, Ida. Another Emmy-winner is "Toulouse-Lautrec Is One of My Favorite Artists," in which Mary dates a height-challenged author. Lending able support in this inaugural season is a stellar guest star roster of comic actors who, like Harper and Asner, apprenticed with Chicago's legendary improvisational Second City troupe: Shelley Berman ("Divorce Isn't Everything"); Bob Dishy ("Second Story Story"); Richard Schaal ("Today I Am a Ma'am," "The Snow Must Go On," in which he plays the ill-fated Chuckles the Clown," and "Howard's Girl"); and Paul Sand ("1040 or Fight"). At this point, the characters are pretty much one-note. Mary is cute and perky, Lou Grant hard-boiled, Rhoda brash, Phyllis flighty, and Ted Knight's vainglorious anchorman Ted Baxter idiotic. But what beautiful music they all would make in seasons to come. --Donald Liebenson

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 ... Read More

To see how adult TV comedy should really be done, buy the first season of Mary Tyler Moore Show. The pilot episode is one of the best ever made and the first season is filled with classic episodes. Though it's a bit dated, it deals with some interesting issues that still apply in today's world. Nothing on TV in the past couple decades compares to this series. And in retrospect the Academy failed in the fact that it didn't win the Best Comedy Emmy in its first year (it was up against ground-break ... Read More

I love the Mary Tyler Moore Show. But I have to ask if I am the only person who is displeased with the format of these discs? No "play all episodes" option..............multiple steps to go through to play each episode individually then to return to the main menu again...........just very inconvenient. This is the only reason not to love the MTM Show!

Mary is great, but my favorite is Ted. His character is absolutely hilarious. I can't wait until Fox finally gets a clue and releases the remaining seasons.
