The Mary Tyler Moore Seasons Show: Complete Series
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
I was enjoying watching the MTM seasons until I got to season 5. When I opened it, the plastic seal at the top of the packaging was missing & when I looked at the discs, there were scratches — clearly these were used DVD’s. The 3rd disc will not play one of the episodes – it keeps freezing & crashing. Unfortunately, till I got to this season, the time to return / exchange season 5 was past. I am disappointed this was sold as new when it is obviously used & not working.-K
Well, I have to say of all the 1970s shows I have purchase this is the worse quality I have ever seen. Yes, even if the source used was video tape, which I am not sure it was not. Blurry picture with ghosting effect, and pixilation artifacts on some fast movement scenes. This occurred on all First Season and Fifth Season, with the same ghosting and pixilation. I even tested on an old Daewoo crt flat screen, adjusting the sharpness to try to blend out the ghosting, to no avail. I usually do no return DVD series or DVDs in general if there are a couple of episodes freezing or skipping. Some DvDs improve on my Daewoo crt tv, which did not occur with this series.
Thank you Amazon for the full refund.-monzawa
I was delighted to see this series come available for such a good price. I have many fond memories of watching this show with my parents years ago. It is difficult to overestimate the influence the show had and still has – I think it did a lot to change society’s attitude toward women by portraying Mary as such a strong, independent person. Compared to other shows in its day, it was groundbreaking and paved the way for many shows which have imitated but not duplicated its formula. With an absolutely fabulous ensemble cast this show is still great today.- Robert Stone
