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

Customer Reviews of The Mary Tyler Moore Show - The Complete First Season
Hey Fox! Where is Season 2?! This is an wonderful DVD. I remember watching the show as a little girl and continued watching the reruns over the years. I snatched up a copy the moment I saw it on the shelf.
It's a 4-disc set and includes special features such as a "making of" documentary with interviews, trivia challenge, Emmy Award footage and original CBS promos.
An insert in the DVD says Season 2 will be available March 2003, but...nothing yet. One of the earlier reviewers says Fox is re-thinking releasing the Second season. That's just not right! I'm going to write and encourage them to release it (and while I'm at it I'll suggest they check out all these reviews!).

She's Come to DVD After All
One of the classic sit-coms comes to DVD in this wonderful season set.
Mary Richards is trying to start over in a new town. Thanks to her friend Phyllis, she's found an apartment in Minneapolis. Soon, she's got a job as associate producer for the evening news at WJM. And between the two, she's got a wonderful support system that will help her through anything. And we get to enjoy the laughs.
I'd forgotten just how much I loved this show until I got the set. It was like reuniting with old friends. Season 1 is definitely a beginning, however, as the writers begin to explore the characters. Still, there are some classic episodes here, including "Love is All Around," "Support Your Local Mother," "TouLouse-Lautrec is One of My Favorite Artists," "Assistant Wanted, Female," "Second-Story Story," and "We Closed in Minneapolis" to name a few.
The best part of this show is that the humor stems from the characters. A lesser cast wouldn't be able to pull off some of the material, but this cast brings laughs a plenty.
The set has some interesting extras. The best is the 87 minute documentary about the creation of the series. The audio commentaries on three episodes are ok, but I didn't find them super interesting. Of course, the main reason to get the set is the episodes themselves. Here's they've been preserved with wonderful picture clarity and sound. I doubt they've ever looked better. Each episode has 10 chapter breaks in it, with the credits getting their own chapters. This makes it easy to find a certain scene or get straight to the episode. A play all feature would have been nice, but it's not completely necessary.
While not the best this show has to offer, the first season has so many wonderful moments it's hard to complain. Any fan of classic TV will want this in their collection. It's well worth it.
More seasons please
This is a great sitcom, and one of the few TV shows that I want all the seasonson DVD, but it seems that this show made a fast stop in having the seasons on DVD.
Please release all the seasons. I can't believe how many other shows are out there, that are stupid, not a classic, not worth even seeing on TV, and they have quite a few seasons already on DVD.
PLEASE release all of these seasons!
