 It helped me to see this first!! February 8, 2008
I hadn't seen the Mary Tyler Moore show in years so I bought this starter set with it's expired coupon at Walmart, watched the 4 shows (liked it) then bought the first 2 seasons here on Amazon. When seasons 3 & 4 came out I also bought those from Amazon. Sadly due to low customer demand for this series the rest of the seasons have not been released as of this writing. If they wrere I would have bought them.
The starter sets are a great idea if you don't remember a series that well & want to see if you like it before buying any seasons.
 Only four episodes from the first year, but it's worth the price March 3, 2007
Sure, it's only four of the episodes from Season One, but the price is right and I was more than glad to add it to my DVD TV collection. The first episode is always stunning to watch as Mary moves to Minnesota to start her life over after leaving her boyfriend (who was a doctor that wouldn't commit to marriage). The interaction between Rhoda and Mary is fun and Rhoda comes off as a real angry person (fascinating how much/how fast her character changed) as Mary gets the apartment leaving Rhoda to stay in the attic apartment. The episodes are funny and it's great to watch Mary interact with the cast in that first episode.
Get the boxed DVD sets, but if you are wanting to add this inexpensive DVD of four great episodes of Season One you won't regret it.
 The Ten Bucks Back Coupon Is Expired! No Longer Being Offered! So It's Not Worth It! January 4, 2006
4 out of 9 found this review helpful
The Mary Tyler Moore Show is a great classic sitcom but why buy this starter set that only has about four episodes from the first season when you can buy the complete first season DVD boxset and get these eipisodes and all the rest of the season one episodes? And don't give me any malarkey about it being worth it because you get 10 dollars back with the included coupon because that ten bucks back deal has long expired! Only people who like to waste money would buy this!
a good buy July 12, 2005

This season-starter set of MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW episodes is a good sampling of 4 of the best Season 1 eps.
"Love is All Around" - The pilot episode. Mary Richards (Mary Tyler Moore) arrives in Minneapolis fresh from a broken engagement and takes her job as associate producer in the newsroom of WJM.
"Support Your Local Mother" - Mary gets an unexpected houseguest when Rhoda's mother Ida (guest star Nancy Walker) drops by.
"Toulouse-Lautrec is One of My Favourite Artists" - Mary dates a man who is somewhat lacking in the height department.
"The Snow Must Go On" - Mary is put in charge of coordinating the election coverage, though a snowstorm and blackout conspire to knock out all the communication devices.
4 fun episodes to savour.
Get the point. June 23, 2005

I think that most of the reviewers for this are completely missing the entire point of this release. It's not for people who already like Mary Tyler Moore. Those people will buy the complete seasons. It's for people like me who have never seen an episode of it but would like to check it out. The DVD has a few episodes of the classic show that will hopefully get the viewer "hooked" so that he or she will buy the whole season. With a $10 coupon for the first season included in the package, this 'Best of' is essentially a pretty smart marketing technique to get you to see the show (because you're only down ten bucks if you don't like it) and then (since they're convinced you will like it) buy the whole season. It is in no way, shape, or form meant to replace or even really supplement the first season. It is meant to get the curious consumer to buy the first season. So I give it five stars. Because that's a pretty ingenious idea.
