While I once LOVED this classic show ( I was only 9 years old when it 1st came on in 1971) it STILL holds up today! Only now when I watch it, I realize it contains some mild Adult Jokes that I obviously didn't pick up on in 1971 (as a 9yr old)! The only problem I have with this DVD SET has to do with the "TECHNOCALITIES" sp? of how the DVD-makers made this TV Show DVD Set. On almost every other "Broadcast-TV" DVD SET I've ever purchased, you have the ability to put a particular disk in (e.g., Disk #1 of 3) and you can sit back and watch all 8-to-10 episodes in a row. Well, you CANNOT do that with this set (unless your DVD PLAYER has a "Repeat ALL" setting only 1 of my 5 DVD Players/Recorders have this unique "Repeat ALL" feature). You'll find that you will have to pickup your remote every 22-23 minutes and scroll through the maze of DVD Menus until you FINALLY get back to the "HOME PAGE" of the Mary Tyler Moore Disk #"X" and then scroll over to the Next Episode. THEN you have to scroll back again to the "Play the Episode" Icon. I bought the very 1st (4) MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW SEASONs' DVD SETs so I am PRAYING that they only made this "SETUP/DVD PRODUCTION" MISTAKE on Season #1. If they didn't limit it to Season #1, I will do my best to let consumers know (on THIS site)which other seasons have the exact same ANNOYING setup. BUT MOST IMPORTANT... This is STILL a GREAT SHOW that is still funny in 2008! I would buy it again (even though the manufacturers goofed on Season 1's inability to automatically play from episode to episode)!!!!

incredible first season to a show clearly ahead of its time. the writing, acting, and production value are stellar! Mary, Rhoda, Phyllis, and the news team are obviously the most beloved characters in American tv... for good reason!

I received the product in a timely manner, in its "Used" condition, but no surface scratches on the DVD. For a few dollars, I could have cared less. I finished watching it last night, it was great to see MTM on tv again. She definitely turned everyone on with her smile!

The Mary Tyler Moore Show is the best show ever!! It's hard to believe that it's 37 years since I first started watching it...I was just 12. It just takes me back with such great memories and I long for television to be like this again. Of course that won't happen, but by having Mary, Rhoda, Lou, Ted & Murray for short periods during an episode....well, it just gives me some nostalgic moments. I want to own the whole set at some point.
