For the record, here are the first twelve episodes of Mary Tyler Moore season 2, the ones that would be included in season 2 volume 1 (assuming they continue to have the episodes in airing order):

1. "The Birds... and... um... Bees" - After Mary produces a documentary about sex, Phyllis asks Mary to tell Bess the facts of life.

2 "I Am Curious Cooper" - Lou tries to set up Mary with a friend of his.

3. "He's No Heavy, He's My Brother" - When Mary and Rhoda plan a vacation in Mexico, the owner of a Mexican restaurant ask them to take a mysterious package to his brother.

4. "Room 223" - Mary goes to night school and winds up dating her teacher.

5. "A Girl's Best Mother is Not Her Friend" - Rhoda's mother decides to try to become her daughter's best friend, to Rhoda's horror.

6. "Cover Boy" - Jack Cassidy guest-stars as Ted's brother (they originally wanted Cassidy to be Ted).

7. "Didn't You Used to Be... Wait... Don't Tell Me" - Mary goes to her high school reunion and meets an ex-boyfriend (Jack Riley).

8. "Thoroughly Unmilitant Mary" - All the WJM employees go on strike, requiring Lou and Mary to produce the news all by themselves.

9. "And Now, Sitting in for Ted Baxter" - When Ted goes on vacation, a competent anchorman is hired as his replacement, and Ted fears for his job.

10. "Don't Break the Chain" - Mary gets a chain letter from Lou.

11. "The Six and a Half Year Itch" - Lou suspects that his daughter's husband might be cheating on her.

12. "...Is a Friend in Need" - When Rhoda needs a job, Mary doesn't want her to come to work at WJM.

The highlight of the second season, for me, is "He's No Heavy, He's My Brother," but there are a number of good episodes, and they definitely took a step forward over season 1. (MTM was one of those shows that improved steadily as it went on, so the third season was even better, and the fourth season -- Rhoda's last season, and the first with Sue Ann -- was probably the best.) Season 2 was also the season that introduced the final version of the theme song (the first season version has different lyrics than the one we're used to).

yeah, that's why some episodes look better than others.

Even so, I'd rather take a restored version rather than a crappy one.

THREAD *BUMP* FOR INFO ON AN MTM SEASON-ONE SALE ............

Right at this moment Amazon has the stellar MTM-1 DVD set for a mere $23.99 -- 52% off the MSRP! :emoji_thumbsup:

I wonder if it was this nice low price over the Christmas holiday. Anyone know? I'm not sure; I just noticed it today. (But it's selling well right at this moment -- ranking #157 in Amazon DVD sales. And #2 in Cleveland!)

Anyone holding back on MTM-1 due to the higher $40-$45 take-home price might want to get it now. *

* = And any further S.1 sales certainly can't harm the campaign for Season Two. :)

----------

Amazon has some really great prices on some other TV-on-DVD boxed sets too, including
58% off (!) of "24 -- Season 1" :eek:

That "24" set has sold like Lisa Douglas' hotcakes too -- #56 in sales rank. (Oh, wait, if they were Lisa's 'cakes, that'd mean sales would be horrid. Make that, instead, any HTF member's blueberry muffins. Yum! :))

Mr. Bezos is my brother, and I do the books. :)

j/k :D

You can check the Sales Rank for individual categories (DVDs; Books; VHS; Toys; etc.) right on every Amazon webpage (under "Product Details").

I'm still hoping we finally get Season 2 as well because that's the bare minimum Fox owes us at last even if they never do anything else with MTM.

the sale prices started after Christmas- all the Fox first season sets are heavily discounted.
a similar sale is also going on at Best Buy stores.
