Fox said the first season set sold poorly.
I guess this means no future seasons. I feel like killing myself.

What is the source for the Fox report?Last night's chat with Peter Staddon of Fox Home Entertainment. He stated several times that the MTM sales were quite disappointing. See transcript.
For what it's worth, work on the second-season set has already been completed.Yeah, that's what I thought as well.
Plus the fact that FOX put in a separate "Coming Soon" card inside every Season 1 set saying .... "Season 2 Coming March 2003"*
* = Yes, there was the proverbial asterisk, with the "date subject to change" notation.
...but not $40 for MTM.BITE YOUR TONGUE (HARD!), YOUNG MAN!!
MTM is worth twice the asking price! (IMO)
(Plus: It's one of the best dang transfers of TV-to-DVD you're likely to encounter! Remarkable color transfer!)
(Gosh....Now I REALLY want MTM-2! Hope it'll see the light of Minneapolis.)
Rhino has released a number of intro episodes to shows and dropped the rest.Right...but has a major DVD TV producer ever dropped one after just 1 season? (FOX, et al.)

That's too bad, because the MTM set really is a great product. I wouldn't be surprised to see Fox scale back to lower-priced, bare-bones MTM sets--similar to M*A*S*H--rather than cancel it altogether.
The bummer is that this really dashes my hopes for The Bob Newhart Show.
