    Mary Tyler Moore Show Season 7?

    No - I have analyzed each disk using a program that allows me to look at everything on the disk, and the curtain call is not on any of the dvds. Another poster previously said he did something similar looking at all the titles.

    Mary Tyler Moore Show Season 7?

    Well I'm certainly not shipping my DVD set back to them at my own expense with no promises from them of ever receiving anything. That's crazy. I'm simply going to return my set to the store where I bought it (for a credit most likely) and will just wait until Fox figures out what they're going...

    Mary Tyler Moore Show Season 7?

    I just called Fox and this is what I was told. They have no recall on this set at this time. They did say that they were aware of the issue and had been receiving a lot of complaints. They said the only thing they would do is have me ship my DVD set back to them at my own expense, and they...

    Has Fox dropped the Ball??

    Well it seems that its time to top post this topic again, given the absolute stupidity and/or utter carelessness of Fox for neglecting to include the final curtain call or the just released Season 7 Mary Tyler Moore set. This is despite the fact that it says on very large letters on the back of...

    Mary Tyler Moore Show Season 7?

    Like the rest of you, I was logging on here hoping to find out where the "final curtain call" is. It says on the package that its included, and they announced in their press release also that it would be included. As far as I can tell, it is not there. Of course it was the first thing I...

    MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL - Season Sets?

    Funny that you mention ESPN Classic. My memory may have some holes, but I believe that network started as Classic Sports. That was a great network, it showed all kinds of classic sporting events, I remember watching a lot of classic baseball games from the 60's, 70's and 80's for example, and...

    MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL - Season Sets?

    I don't agree that it will never happen. The rights holders here are just slow to catch on. That's not unusual though, I think that its a new idea and the decision makers are stuck in old ways of thinking. I'm a corporate attorney and I can attest to the fact that if there is money to be...

    MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL - Season Sets?

    I'm aware that there are a large number of collectors and traders around. The games are available, but the quality is pretty spotty. This was the case for many network series tv shows also prior to their official DVD releases, so MNF is no different. The issue isn't whether or not there is a...

    MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL - Season Sets?

    Not sure if this is the right place to post this or not, but Monday Night Football is a TV show, and a very popular, successful and long-running one at that.   For awhile I've had the idea that I would love to be able to purchase season sets of Monday Night Football. Starting in 1970, going...

    Has Fox dropped the Ball??

    Fox squatted on those rights for years and refused to do licensing, allegedly ... even though Fox wasn't releasing the shows themselves. If they've finally started doing some of that then great, but it's long overdue and I'm not going to give them too many kudos. How long has Bob Newhart been...

    Has Fox dropped the Ball??

    James, your comment is very true. For years, Fox completely sucked and dropped the ball completely - the absolute worst. The fact that one of their employees very recently posted something in this forum may be reason for a little hope that something has changed at Fox, but really - don't be...

    "Mary Tyler Moore Show" Season 6 announced for Feb. 2010 release!

    When I read the post on TV Shows on DVD today about Season 7 being released soon, and - amazingly and thankfully - the original closing credits being used for the final episode, with the cast introductions. I thought back and remembered this post, which might possibly have had *something* to do...

    It's About Time.

    One thing I hadn't remembered about this show (since I was about 5 or 6 when it was on tv in first run), is how tied it was to Gilligan's Island. Not only the Sherward Schwartz connection, but even much of the incidental music in the episodes was exactly the same as on Gilligan's Island...

    It's About Time.

    I recently came into posession of the Its About Time complete series. I hadn't seen it since it originally aired when I was a kid, but I always remembered the show, mostly because of the catchy theme song. If its any consolation, to my now adult eyes, the show wasn't nearly as good as I...

    "Mary Tyler Moore Show" Season 6 announced for Feb. 2010 release!

    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.

    "Mary Tyler Moore Show" Season 6 announced for Feb. 2010 release!

    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...

    Bob Newhart Show Season 4 is Set

    I couldn't find a thread for Season 5, but I thought I'd ask about it here since there was some discussion about it and what people would like to see on the possible Season 5 and 6 sets. With the Mary Tyler Moore Show being resurrected, I've had the thought in the back of my mind that possibly...

    Gilligan's Island Beyond

    I also recently picked up a copy of Rescue from Gilligan's Island - I saw it in the checkout line at Fry's Electronics and it was only $4. I'm a big fan of the TV series, and I remember watching the movies when they were originally broadcast 30 years ago, and at the time I loved them. I...

    Mary Tyler Moore Show Complete Series Set Coming

    Exactly, I don't really feel very confident about Fox following through and releasing all seasons individually. They've handled this series extremely badly from the beginning until now. I wish they would have simply licensed it to a niche company like Shout or MPI, if so we would have had a full...

    Mary Tyler Moore Show Complete Series Set Coming

    HOORAY! Although I own seasons 1-4 I will definitely buy this set (at Costco!) the minute it comes out. My guess as to why they are releasing a complete season set is maybe as a favor to fans who have had to wait so long, they are releasing the whole thing at once rather than making go...

    Can Anyone Explain This Amazon TV Download Thing To Me?

    How do the shows look on your 50 inch plasma? Do you know what the resolution of these shows is? Thanks -

    UK Shows I would love to see on DVD

    Very surprising that nobody has mentioned this one already: LIFE ON MARS This is definitely one of the best shows ever. I started watching this one on BBC America a couple years ago, then I switched to getting uncut HD episodes through bittorrent. This was much better since the BBC America...

    M*A*S*H - Martinis and Medicine Complete Collection

    Something is going on with this set. After having not seen it for months, I went into a store yesterday and they must have had about 30 copies, priced at about $155. I also looked on eBay and saw that prices have come down to about that point or less.

    DDD 20% off sale Now Extended until 11/23/06

    Unfortunately the days when DDD was the lowest cost online retailer seem to be gone. In the past, I'd just order blindly whenever DDD would have their 20% off sale and I wouldn't comparison shop. However, this year it paid me to shop around. Here's what I found: I was interested in buying 20...

    old game shows???

    The Gong Show was the greatest. My friends and I all loved that show when we were in high school in the 70's. I caught some reruns a few years ago on the Game Show network and I still really enjoyed it. I'd buy Gong Show DVDs in a heart beat - I'd want full episodes though, not just clips or...

    Space 1999

    I'm interested in buying the Network DVDs, but since I live in the US I'm not sure of the best place to order them. I checked amazon.co.uk, and the price was almost 56 pounds, which is well over $100 US. Considering that I'd also have to pay shipping plus VAT if that applied, that would be a...

    PAL to NTSC to DVD question

    Ok, this problem is SOLVED. I had to go back and find a download of Nero v. 6.6 (the new Nero v. 7 is crap, or so everyone says and I experienced). Anyhow, this program is exactly what I was looking for - it converts from PAL to NTSC, or vice versa, and burns to DVD on the fly. Has a bunch of...

    PAL to NTSC to DVD question

    Well my television is NTSC, notwithstanding what my DVD player might be set to - isn't that correct? I'm using a Sony model DVP-NC665P. I've googled around looking for a remote code which might make it code free, but haven't found anything specific to that model. I've tried some other Sony...
