The Emmy-winning first season was an auspicious beginning. By its second season, the classic theme song "Love is All Around" has been revamped with an even more optimistic outlook: "You're gonna make it after all." In the sophomore season of this instant gold-standard sitcom, the ace writing staff and peerless ensemble begin to flesh out the iconic characters. Gruff Lou Grant (Ed Asner, enjoying his second Emmy-winning season) reveals his more loveable side when he discovers his son-in-law out with another woman in "The Six-and-a-Half-Year Itch." Vain Ted Baxter (Ted Knight) becomes a more sympathetic character in "Cover Boy," featuring the hilariously preening Jack Cassidy as Ted's competitive brother, and "And Now, Sitting in for Ted Baxter," in which a substitute anchor earns higher ratings than the vacationing Ted. Mary, the sweetheart of prime time, is still something of a pushover (in "Feeb," she feels compelled to write a letter of recommendation for an extraordinarily incompetent secretary), but she develops the backbone to stand up to an anti-Semite who disapproves of Rhoda in one of the season's best episodes, "Some of My Best Friends Are Rhoda." The indelible friendship between Mary and Rhoda (Valerie Harper, also earning her second consecutive Emmy) is sorely tested when they become temporary roommates in "Where There's Smoke, There's Rhoda." As with the most enduring shows, The Mary Tyler Moore Show eschewed topical humor that would date the series, and instead, mined its more universal and timeless humor from the wellspring of the characters. More than 30 years later, there is still, as ever, something about Mary. --Donald Liebenson

I am extremely satisfied with your service. Everything delivered on time and I am looking forward to future volumes. Do you know when volume 5 is due to come out? I now have Vols. 1-4.

Instead of hoping TV Land would replay the oldies, we thought, let's just buy our own! We did and have no regrets - except that we didn't buy Newhart, Lucy, Andy, and more MOORE! That's next.
Great Show January 8, 2008

What a great show! The actors and characters are not only believable they're likable. Not only that... the storylines are funny and interesting. That is opposed to being insulting and stupid. To understand how this is possible a viewer would have to realize that this sitcom is thirty five years old and that in it's day The Mary Tyler Moore Show was the best. What that means is that it was better than a lot of other well written situation comedies. Unnecessary to specify 'of the time'.
This is a good show for anyone suffering the advanced cynicism and bitterness commonly associated with exposure to THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR, MARRIED WITH CHILDREN or FAMILY GUY... If you're so miserable this show can't make you crack a smile have your cable disconnected and go on Luvox.
best show ever November 3, 2007

The mary tyler moore show back in season 1 and 2 really broke ground, it showed things on TV that were taboos at the time.
today over three decades later its almost hard to believe but the show retained its quality and class and its till fits. The acting by Mary Tyler Moore,Edward Asner, Gavin MacLeod and valery harper was just phenomenal.
Its just as funny and socially relevant today as it was back then.
Ed Asner is probably one of the best actors on TV ever, he alone is worth the watch.
If you want to watch a true classic, great acting and hilarious comedy you found it.
