    Mary Tyler Moore Show: Season 2 coming in July (CONSOLIDATED DISCUSSION)

    If no work had been done yet on season two, I would agree with you, but I'm not sure how much money it would save Fox to throw away extras that have already been produced. In this case, when the money has already been spent, I think that the added value the features would bring to the set would...

    Mary Tyler Moore Show: Season 2 coming in July (CONSOLIDATED DISCUSSION)

    That was "Farmer Ted and the News," from the third season. However, I don't think Phyllis appeared in this episode, although she and Ted did get into some great mischief from time to time... like when she convinced him to run for office... and the time she advised him on his negotiations with...

    Not in and of itself, no... but every little bit helps, doesn't it? To put it another way -- even if the difference it makes is miniscule to nonexistent, we're still better talking about it than keeping quiet. WE WANT MTM SEASON 2 ON DVD!!

    Mary Tyler Moore Show: Season 2 coming in July (CONSOLIDATED DISCUSSION)

    I could be wrong here, but I always presumed that the episode was originally titled "Christmas and the Hard Luck Kid," and that the "II" simply signified that it was an alternate cut of the episode.

    Mary Tyler Moore Show: Season 2 coming in July (CONSOLIDATED DISCUSSION)

    With all due respect, I have to say that is a very unfair characterization. Yes, a brief snippet of a scene including the song "White Christmas" was removed from the episode "Christmas and the Hard Luck Kid." Let's say the snippet ran about 30 seconds (a high estimate, if my memory of the...

    Mary Tyler Moore Show: Season 2 coming in July (CONSOLIDATED DISCUSSION)

    I don't know about yelling, but I definitely think it's a good idea to kick up the activity on this thread every once in a while, even without any new information. If Fox sees that the subject of "Mary Tyler Moore" on DVD keeps coming up over and over again at the HTF, it may make some amount of...

    Mary Tyler Moore Show: Season 2 coming in July (CONSOLIDATED DISCUSSION)

    There's something else that I've been mulling over. It seems to me that Fox would do well to reprice (and possibly repromote) the season one set at this point. If the set is not selling, then they might as well do something to get some money out of it, and selling more copies of season one would...

    Mary Tyler Moore Show: Season 2 coming in July (CONSOLIDATED DISCUSSION)

    Actually, I felt that the documentary mainly covered the genesis of the show from creation up to and including the making of the first episode. As a matter of fact, I found myself wishing it had included more information about the rest of season one. Toward the end, it did gloss over a few...

    Mary Tyler Moore Show: Season 2 coming in July (CONSOLIDATED DISCUSSION)

    If you don't mind, would you please stop repeating yourself? You have already made your opinion perfectly clear, so all you are doing at this point is antagonizing those forum members who share your interest in the show.

    Mary Tyler Moore Show: Season 2 coming in July (CONSOLIDATED DISCUSSION)

    Mr. Staddon said that MTM Season 2 was a possibility, but not certain at this stage. That may not be news to make us stand up and cheer, but it certainly isn't "absolutely no hope," either. Also keep in mind that of all the shows David Lambert asked about, Mr. Staddon chose MTM as one of the...

    Mary Tyler Moore Show: Season 2 coming in July (CONSOLIDATED DISCUSSION)

    Actually, in the cases of both "MTM" and "Law and Order," the studios in question DID announce plans for the respective second seasons, both to be released early this year. They later decided to put those plans on hold. Similarly, Image may have declared its intention to release "Dick Van Dyke"...

    Mary Tyler Moore Show: Season 2 coming in July (CONSOLIDATED DISCUSSION)

    Anyone have any guesses as to what Mr. Staddon might have been alluding to with this statement? I'm not sure what's meant by "model of presentation." Otherwise, an encouraging statement.
