Fox Home Entertainment just turned MY world on with a smile!

Can't remember which of the last seasons it was in, but the "cameo" by Johnny Carson is one of my all-time favorites!

The Johnny Carson cameo was the final season episode "Mary's Big Party", which might just get seen on DVD yet. I guess it's not a long way to Tipperary after all. Thanks, Oprah!

If anyone with input into the Season 7 set (that hopefully is being worked on now) is reading, it would be very nice if the original closing credits to the final episode were used, rather than the closing credits used in syndication.  When the final episode was first aired, Mary came out and introduced the cast one by one, as they walked out on stage for the last time to audience applause, as the final credits rolled over it.  I have a recording of this from long ago, but it's poor quality - and I saw it on Youtube awhile back also.  Hopefully there's a decent copy of it available somewhere and I hope it make it into the DVD set.

I'd love to see that too.

But I also have a copy of the very last network broadcast, which was this episode, and the standard credits were used. Not a good case for it still existing.

I just want seasons 6 and 7. Period. Enough is enough.

"Opening an Old Can of Worms" Alert!

But ...

A lot of us here and all over the Internet strongly criticized Fox for their original plan to release Seasons 5, 6 and 7 only as part of a complete set.  When they announced they canceled the complete set, the complainers were criticized for fear that Fox wouldn't release 5, 6 and 7 as single sets.

It's a relief to see this announcement for Season 6 -- and it does show that it pays to complain on the Internet, when the complaining is justified, as it certainly was!

I still say that if the complete series plan had been chosen, the price probably wouldn't have been much more than three individual seasons, and we would have had the whole series by now.

But, that time is past, and after February, we'll only be one season shy of the whole series, so it all worked out... this time.

If the Oprah magic worked, I would expect S7 to be out in mid-2010, with the delayed full series probably out for, what, Christmas 2010?

I was unaware that the finale had those unique closing credits. It would be great if those were included but I'm guessing they won't go to the trouble or they will be unable to find the original version. Although a lesser-quality version of them could be included, perhaps as a bonus.

One reason I have stopped collecting the individual seasons is because I am now worried that if we do indeed get a complete series we will see more bonus features that aren't being included in the season sets. It wouldn't be the first time something like that happened with a series.

     From Fox? For a show from the 70s? I wouldn't lose too much sleep over that occuring.

Well isn't this the company that released the MASH series quite frequently then included a great bonus disc w/their complete series set?  I mean the MTM Show has some great reunions and tv movies they could add for a complete series set, as well as new interviews w/the remaining cast, like the reunion on the Oprah show from last year.  I could totally see FOX doing this.  That is why I sold off my individual sets and am now holding off for the complete series next fall/Christmas.

I wish they would just get the Bob Newhart show back on schedule w/releases the same day as the MTM Show sets, like it used to be.

Just when I thought the well had totally run dry after weeks and weeks of "Nothing" (In my hunmble opinion of course).  Even I have something to smile about. I never thought I would say this, but....Thank you Fox.  And to think; some 'clown' had to give his life to make it happen.

 And the guy who wrote "Chuckles Bites The Dust" did himself bite the dust:

He must have died of shock when he read the Season 6 announcement.

Seriously though, R.I.P., thanks for the great shows you wrote, and say hi to Chuckles for us.

I know they sold at least one this morning.  Me.  Watch for that third discs.  It may come loose.  I'm hoping that the final season is this summer, say like before September.  Until then I'll be watching season 5 and six VERY slowly.

With TMTMS, I have a very hard time watching only one show a day. I always find myself watching a whole disc in one night!

Don't tempt me!  That "Play All" feature should be removed....
It's amazing how good the two eps were that I watched (Edie's marriage, Mary's rut) and while funny, they weren't exactly comedy.  Kind of light-hearted "slice of life" stories.

I picked up a copy at Best Buy and matched their .com price of $19.99 for the set.

I got the last copy that my local Fry's Electronics had, and I watched 3 episodes yesterday.  This series just kept getting better and better.  It's a crime that we've had to wait so long for this to be released.

I got the review copy yesterday, but with so many Fox discs coming out this week, I won't get to it until this weekend. Season Six was probably my favorite season, however.

I find that odd.  What's this two copies stuff?   A Target store by me was only shipped two copies and more surprising a Best Buy store just around the corner likewise only received two copies.  Over the years the Best Buy stores could receive up to four copies of about anything. Was Sony merely being prudent on the number of seasonal sets they safely knew would sell by not flooding a flooded market?   Which by the way would be fine with me IF season 7 is around the corner.

I think that Target didn;t even carry the last two seasons released, so I am glad they at least got in SOME...

Got my set and have already watched the first disk. I hope this series gets finished this year. After an almost 10 year wait, I can see a light at the end of the tunnel.

The real crime is that more people have not bought copies of these releases. That's the reason this has taken so long and still isn't finished. It's consumers (or lack thereof) who have determined the fate of these sets. More older viewers need to be purchasing their favorite shows instead of watching reruns of Matlock & Murder, She Wrote and drinking their fiber laxatives.

Where are the long-time, devoted fans who remember this show from when it first aired and who followed in joyfully into rerun syndication ? This is why so many classic shows are tanking on DVD.
