DVD Reviews of The Mary Tyler Moore Show - The Complete First Season

DVD Review: Great show - love the 70s!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I was lucky to have found season 1 & 2 of MTM at Target last year and bought them ($20.00!!!) So, we all know how the greedy people can be when selling DVDs! I currently own all 5 - yes, FIVE seasons. I am on season 5 now and I have NO COMPLAINTS about the show! It's great to turn off regular TV/Cable and watch MTM commercial free. I went from all the Dick Van Dyke seasons onto Mary Tyler Moore - what's next? Rhoda? Too Close for Comfort? Most likely :)
You'll want to add ALL the Mary Tyler Moore DVDs to your collection -- it's a great escape. Enjoy!

DVD Review: Timeless comedy
Summary: 5 Stars

Mary Tyler Moore was always a favorite at our house when I was growing up. I was six and a half when this series debuted and remember thinking how cool Mary's and Rhoda's apartments were decorated, following the fashion styles, and laughing at Ted Baxter's antics. I also remember how cool I thought Rhoda's job was as a window dresser-and I actually went on to do that for a time years later.

I remembered the show being funny, however as an adult I am enjoying this show more than ever as is my husband and 11 yr old daughter. I can hardly wait to purchase additional seasons.

Description of The Mary Tyler Moore Show - The Complete First Season

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.

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
