TV Shows on DVD Reviewed The Mary Tyler Moore Show - If there's an award for austere packaging this one would walk away with the prize - no liner notes or even a list of episodes - nothing. Even the DVD navigation is awkward. But aside from that there's nothing to complain about - not when you've got a collection of some of the funniest sitcoms in TV history, every one a jewel. Rhoda is gone, she was getting married in New York and honeymooning in Vegas on her own hit sitcom, so Sue Anne Nivens The Happy Homemaker's role was expanded. Betty White's wickedly spiteful character is a much better comedic foil than Mary's bland former neighbor and the show's most hilarious moments spring forth from her acid tongue. So many classic episodes here to enjoy - Sue Anne's All About Eve moment, the classic Christmas episode with the newsroom staff stuck at the office, Ted Baxter's school of broadcasting, Mary going to jail, and Phyllis landing a job are just a few highlights. The Mary Tyler Moore Show is the very definition of timeless comedy and the show never looked better than it does now on DVD - the picture quality is vivid, bright and alive. All 24 episodes from the 1974-75 season are contained on three discs.
