The Mary Tyler Moore Show endures because its timeless comedy is drawn from the wellspring of its fully drawn characters, who were allowed to grow beyond one-note caricatures. Mary's best friend, Rhoda (Valerie Harper), who was in danger of becoming this series' Sally Rogers, really blossomed this season. In "Rhoda the Beautiful," the slimmed-down Rhoda is empowered to enter a beauty contest, and in "My Brother's Keeper," she catches the eye of Phyllis' (Cloris Leachman in an Emmy-nominated performance) brother, which devastates Phyllis, setting the stage for yet another disastrous Mary Richards party (and a dénouement that must have been daring in 1973). Wise-cracking Murray (Gavin McLeod) reveals new depths in "Murray Faces Life," in which he sinks into depression after hearing that a former college classmate has won the Pulitzer Prize. Even Ted manages to surprise. In "Operation: Lou," a hospitalized Lou Grant finds a new appreciation for Ted, who graciously and uncharacteristically, presents him with an expensive bottle of scotch. Moore, Harper, and Knight were each honored with Emmys this season. Joining this august core ensemble is Georgia Engel as Georgette, who makes a delightful first impression in "Rhoda Morgenstern: Minneapolis to New York." Even hard-boiled Lou softens in her presence. "You're a real cutie, you know that?" he tells her in "The Georgette Story." Despite Lou's insistence to the contrary in "The Good-Time News," The Mary Tyler Moore's job was to make people laugh. But it could also be surprisingly moving, as in the laugh-free dramatic climax of "Remembrance of Things Past," in which Mary is reunited with an ex-boyfriend (Joseph Campanella), who has broken her heart in the past. This three-disc set contains no extras, but any of these episodes can take a nothing day and suddenly... well, you know the rest. --Donald Liebenson

Customer Reviews of The Mary Tyler Moore Show - The Complete Third Season (1972)
No Extras Although the episodes in this collection are superb, I was a bit dissappointed that no extras were given on this set. I loved the first two sets because they included video clips of Emmy Award acceptance speeches by the actors and writers. Stuff like that is hard to come by today. I also loved the documentaries in the first two sets, such as the making of the opening credits for the show. It's really neat to see the actors behind the scenes reacting to one another. And of course the commentary tracks were great. Unfortunately I see a bad pattern forming. Season 1 contained 4 discs and lots of extras, Season 2 contained only 3 discs and lots of extras, Season 3 contains 3 discs and no extras. I hope they don't go the Columbo route and start putting future seasons on double-sided discs to cut a few more pennies out of the cost.
Mary Finally Makes It On Her Own
Season three of the Mary Tyler Moore Show on dvd is truly a must have. By now, each character has developed and now relates to one another the way we remember and will continue to see them throughout the run of the series.

<
>We are treated with many re-watchable delights right from the start with "The Good-Time News" as Mary is responsible for a new show format that has Ted playing straight man to Gordy. "Rhoda the Beautiful" gives Valerie Harper a chance to shine as she sheds unwanted inches and a poor self image. "You've Got a Friend" is really quite touching as Mary invites her father for a quiet dinner alone at her place and some revealing conversation. "My Brother's Keeper" showcases what I believe is Mary's first of many fiasco parties and a surprise tag scene line. And perhaps most memorable is "Put On a Happy Face" as Mary tries, yet fails, to look her best as she receives a Teddy award.

>Unlike seasons one and two, this season marries home and office for Mary Richards effortlessly. Mary also looks her best with shorter bobbed hair and bright fashions from 1972. This one is definitely a keeper!
Excellent....when will Season 4 be released?
I devoured Season Three in only a couple of weeks. It saved me those odd nights when I woke up at 2:30 in the morning and couldn't sleep...I'd put on the dvd and watch a couple of episodes.

<
>I feel that I have to dock 1 star from MTM Season 3 because of the "downer" episodes that just aren't as much fun as most of the others: like Murray feeling life has passed him by, or
<
>the one with Joseph Campanella. Plus that fact that for the first time in the series, Mary makes an ass of herself a couple of times. For instance, when she goes to Lou's office to ask for an additional $50 per week, she gets all choked up and turns away and just stands there like a fool. And then she complains that Lou doesn't seem concerned. In the business world you have to speak up and say what's on your mind. That was embarrassing to watch. Also, in season 3 Mary goes out with too many losers who don't treat her right. She comes across as a bit pathetic when she starts getting all upset about the anchovies on the pizza brought by David Campanella. I especially hate it the way Mary fawns all over Murray when he's in a bad mood and being unresponsive to her (she does that in another episode (from a different season) as well--the one where she's pestering him and then starts saying "Murray...Murray Murray Murray Murray...").
