The Mary Tyler Moore Show on DVD

[luvflorida]

With so many older tv shows coming out on DVD, I can't understand why more seasons of the The Mary Tyler Moore Show aren't on DVD. I have the first season, but as far as I know, there are no plans for further seasons. There are a few episodes on VHS, and I have all those.

The Mary Tyler Moore Show is one of my all time favorite sit-coms. When I was in high school in the early seventies, I couldn't wait for the weekly episode. Mary, Rhoda, Lou, Ted, Maury; they were the best.

One of my favorite episodes was the one where Mary wouldn't reveal her news source, so she ended up spending a night in jail with a couple of bimbos. And of course, the Chuckles funeral episode, (Chuckles Bites the Dust), was a classic!

This sounds pretty pathetic now, but when I was younger I wanted to BE Mary Richards. I told my parents that when I graduated from high school I was going to move to Minnesota, work in a newsroom, and drive a Mustang. And I SO wanted her apartment! I even had a coat and hat like she wears in the opening credits. My brothers STILL make fun of me about that!

I love that show. One of my favorite episodes is when Lou didn't want her taking sleeping pills. Then when he couldn't get her on the phone, he got the super to let him in her apt and she was in the bath. Then Murray and Ted rush in and Ted drops his glasses in the bathtub and starts to reach into the water and she yells at him. Then yells at all of them to get out.
