The Mary Tyler Moore Show – The Complete Seventh Season Review And Giveaway

It's the final season of one of television's best shows, and after seven solid seasons, The Mary Tyler Moore Show never slowed, or became stale. With series strongpoints "Sue Ann Gets The Ax", "Lou Proposes", "Ted's Change Of Heart", and of course, the historic "The Last Show", the final season was an overall effort worthy of a show that took home dozens of awards.

The DVD release includes every episode from the final season, and "Final Curtain Call," which aired only once, and has never before been available. Unfortunately, the release is without special features or bonuses of any kind, but the legendary show doesn't particularly need them.

The fun and zany adventures still abound, but the final season is an interesting entity for its closing effort as I've already mentioned. From the birth of Ted and Georgette's baby, to the examination of Murray's professional life, the show brought its characters to various levels of resolution throughout the season. It's not only the kind of thing that is uncommon these days, it's frankly beyond the capabilities of the majority of shows, now or ever.

Not just a great piece of entertainment, but a great gift for the right person on your list, this is a solid release.

From the love and laughter of Mary’s uproarious dinner parties to the chaos and camaraderie of the WJM-TV newsroom, “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” will always be remembered as one of the best—and best loved—shows of all time. Created by James L. Brooks (As Good As It Gets) and starring Mary Tyler Moore (“The Dick Van Dyke Show”), Ed Asner (Up), Betty White (“The Golden Girls”), Valerie Harper (“Rhoda”), Ted Knight (Caddyshack) and Gavin MacLeod (“The Love Boat”), the venerated series consistently ranked among television’s top-rated programs during its distinguished seven-year run.

The final season of the enduring classic includes such series milestones as the birth of Ted and Georgette’s baby, Murray’s tenure as a producer, Mary’s date with Lou, and the show’s bittersweet final episode, where the gang bids one last farewell to WJM-TV and each other. Winner of 29 Emmy® Awards, including three for Outstanding Comedy Series, and three Golden Globe® Awards, the beloved show made television history by depicting a strong and independent woman fighting to make a place for herself in a man’s world and gave rise to some of television’s most memorable characters. Featuring 24 episodes, the collectible three-disc set also includes the never-before-available and fan requested ‘Final Curtain Call’, which aired only once on March 19, 1977.
