The Arts and Leisure section of the 8/31 edition of the NY Times has an article on "MTM" on DVD (link not available yet; the article is at page 17 of the print edition).

The article discusses the history of the series' availability on DVD, comments received by Fox from frustrated fans and the recent Oprah Winfrey tribute to the series. According to the article: "Fox got the message and has now committed to releasing all three remaining seasons, covering episodes from the fall of 1974 to the spring of 1977." Steven Feldstein of Fox is quoted as saying "It's the right opportunity for us to come out with the full series." No release date is given; the article notes that Feldstein is "currently awaiting a full release schedule."

PS Sorry for spelling meant to say Apparently lol, was rushing :P

Oh. My. God. I don't know what to say. This is the best news I've heard in a really long time. I can't wait until release dates are announced.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! MTM Fans did it!!! Hopefully they come out with the release dates soon!!! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JulieSomoski · 08-30-2008, 04:58 PM

OMG - there is no way this is happening right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I seriously thought the fight was over. It's been years since season 4 came out, and no word, NONE, appeared from FOX. But this . . . this is just amazing. I seriously can't believe this is happening right now!!!!!! I couldn't be happier - where can I put in my preorders?

LauraNamesake · 08-30-2008, 05:14 PM

I know!!!! It's absolutley UNBELIEVEABLE!!!! I almost can't believe it's true!!!! I hope they get out sometime soon because I just CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

I know what you mean - waiting is gonna be the worst part right now! As long as we have their word, though, I'll wait as long as I have to for the rest of the series!!!

LauraNamesake · 08-30-2008, 07:47 PM

Right. I don't have THAT much patience!! I've never seen these episodes before and it's getting to me!!! Some of them I have, but not all and it's KILLING ME!!!

Kristen · 08-30-2008, 08:02 PM

At least there's an end in sight. I can handle the wait now, knowing that. I'm sure we'll know more very soon, when TVShowsonDVD.com makes thier announcement.

this is AWESOME NEWS!!!

of course this means we will have to get everyone we know to buy their copies ASAP so they will pump them out instead of making us WAAAIIIIIITTTT

Wreckless · 08-30-2008, 08:48 PM

BTW, how many seasons of MTMS are their? jw....

this is great news though

Kristen · 08-30-2008, 08:51 PM

There are 7, and the first 4 are already availible. So this would mean we would have the complete series someday.

Adamantium · 08-30-2008, 08:51 PM

GREAT!

Whenever there's a show that's been abandoned on DVD, I can't watch the seasons I do own, just because it's too painful. That includes two of my favorite shows Taxi and Boy Meets World (though BMW finally had some good news recently). Anyways, now I can finally get back to watching Mary Tyler Moore on DVD!

I wonder if this will be a complete series set? I'd gladly buy it, though it would be nicer for most fans to just release the last three seasons individually.

Let's see, what should Oprah have a reunion of now? LOL

THANKS OPRAH!

Awesome! They should let everybody be able to buy the whole collection in one box, like '70s Show will have and what Twilight Zone and Full House have already had.

Kristen · 08-30-2008, 09:13 PM

I think they should release the last 3 seasons individually first. Because otherwise those of us who own the first 4 seasons already would have to buy them again just to get the last 3. I think a complete series would be nice later, though. I wouln't necessarily buy it, unless there were more extras than we have now.
