The sensational and laugh-filled third season of “The Mary Tyler Moore Display” hit DVD in an radiant 3-Disc region from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment on January 17th, 2006, only six months after Season 2 was released (not poor at all, especially when compared to the 34-month wait MTM fans had between the Season-One and Season-Two DVD releases) .
Season 3 of TMTMS (originally seen on CBS-TV during the 1972-1973 television campaign) has so many highly-memorable episodes amongst its 24-show roster — such as: “My Brother’s Keeper”, “Rhoda Morgenstern: Minneapolis To Novel York”, “Operation: Lou”, “You’ve Got A Friend”, and the hilarious “Set Aside On A Ecstatic Face”.

The “Joyful Face” episode has Mary suffering from a variety of ailments, injuries, and afflictions unprejudiced prior to having to go to the annual “Teddy Awards” banquet. It’s one of my all-time popular MTM installments. I’d recommend freeze-framing that episode at the 9:36 point in the program for a humorous “Mary In Mid-Air” moment. I only wish I were Lou Grant in that particular scene. 
I never fail to be amazed at how well this TV series holds up over time. Every single one of these third-year episodes, in my view, seems utterly perfect (both script-wise and narrate quality-wise on these DVDs…heavenly color and overall video quality) .
Just a few sample episodes from Season 3 narrate the magnificent storylines, characters, relationships, and friendships that I’m literally envious of with each viewing — “You’ve Got A Friend” and “The Courtship Of Mary’s Father’s Daughter” (both co-starring the enormous Bill Quinn as Mary’s dad) are two such examples. Stunning shows. Wonderfully written and brilliantly acted, with objective the moral dose of sentiment mixed in with the humor. Like when Mary’s dad bandages the spoiled finger after Mary cuts herself in “You’ve Got A Friend”. One of the best scenes ever done in the whole series.
And “Rhoda Morgenstern: Minneapolis To Modern York” is another winner from Disc #2 of this collection, exemplifying what the word “friendship” really means.
I want to search for them all again. And will…very soon, thanks to this salubrious DVD plot from Fox Home Entertainment.
And also remember to sustain your ears perked for “The MTM Honker” (aka, expose executive James L. Brooks) . Brooks likes to occasionally let loose from gradual the cameras with the funniest doggone laugh I’ve ever heard (which sounds more like a “honk” to me) . I appreciate it when he lets coast with one unexpectedly. He gets off one or two in the “Satisfied Face” episode, and many other eps. as well. (And if you have any videos of Mary’s spin-off series, “Rhoda”, you can hear James honkin’ up a storm throughout many of those shows too. He’s a riot all by himself, IMO.)
Also in the “Joyful Face” present, listen for another of the spacious lines of dialogue that the MTM writers regularly give to Rhoda (played to a tee by Valerie Harper) :
MARY — “Rhoda, chocolate solves nothing.”
RHODA — “No, no — cottage cheese solves nothing; chocolate can do it all.”
~ Honk, honk! ~
Like the first two full-season DVD sets of this always-delightful TV series, the complete third-season collection sparkles brightly in the A/V departments. The video looks crisp and well-kept, with warm colors, and the Dolby Digital (mono) audio sounds honest comely. No complaints from this writer whatsoever.
The intellectual, valorous colors that can be found in this TV series are really brought to the forefront during the scenes which bewitch station in Rhoda’s apartment. That lady lives in a veritable rainbow of color up above Mary’s area on “North Weatherly” in Minneapolis. And those many hues ogle astounding on these Digital Discs too. As does the show’s star, Mary Tyler Moore. Mary looks positively shapely throughout this third season. Wow!
But unlike the two earlier MTM DVD boxed sets, this third installment lacks any special bonus supplements. But I kind of figured that would be the case many months ago even before it came out. The first two seasonal sets contained quite a lot of extra material, and there honest might not be a whole lot left to dig up in the “bonus” department. (Although a few of the new CBS-TV promo clips would have been nice. But even without a single bonus item, this location is a required bewitch for fans of TMTMS and fans of Mary Tyler Moore herself.)
The twenty-four shows (8 per disc) in this boxed place, as far as I can resolve, are all complete and uncut episodes. I’ve performed a running-time check for each of the eight programs on Disc 1, and those shows have an average rush time of 25:35. That stat certainly favors the exercise of the word “uncut” for determined! Here are the steady urge times for those eight shows (you’ll impress a consistent trend) :
“The Good-Time News” — 25:34.
“What Is Mary Richards Really Like? ” — 25:31.
“Who’s In Charge Here? ” — 25:36.
“Enter Rhoda’s Parents” — 25:35.
“It’s Whether You Fetch Or Lose” — 25:35.
“Rhoda The Comely” — 25:36.
“Impartial Around The Corner” — 25:36.
“But Seriously, Folks” — 25:36.
A nice addition to this collection that many DVD buyers will enjoy is the inclusion of a “Play All” option on each of the three discs. Seasons 1 and 2 have no such marathon-playing choice. (Obliging job, Fox!)
The static and music-free DVD Menus have a different peer to them vs. the previous two MTM sets, with Season Three featuring a faster response time when a Menu selection is made too. The previous sets have a short built-in “delay” when spirited around the Menu system. There is a limited delay when accessing exactly half of the episodes in this third-season residence (the last 4 episodes on each disc to be true, which I imagine represents the shows on Layer #2 of each DVD), but it seems to me as though it’s less of a delay that the earlier seasons.
I like the Menus very much; there are Sub-Menus for “Language Selection” and “Scene Selection” (with all text written out in the familiar “MTM” type font, featuring that original mix of both lower-case and capital letters) .
I cannot figure out, however, why Fox made these Season-Three Menus all “anamorphic” in nature. But they did. Which is a bit unfamiliar, because the episodes themselves, of course, are not anamorphically-enhanced (because they don’t need to be, being Full-Frame 4×3 material in the first status) . This is not an odd occurrence amongst DVD products though. But it is slightly irritating, because IMO a DVD for a Full-Frame program should absorb a Full-Frame (i.e., non-anamorphic) profile throughout its presentation, including the Menu structure.
The DVD packaging here is identical in style to that of the Season-Two dwelling, with three plastic thin/slim cases utilized to possess the three single-sided discs. The three plastic cases high-tail into an open-ended outer cardboard carton (a slipcase box) . Nothing like here; it’s very simple and utilitarian, but it’s a nice-looking and classy package fair the same. (Although the lack of any official “DVD-Video” logo on the spine of the outer box seems a tad outlandish to me. The Season-Two place doesn’t have any such “DVD” logo on its spine either. But the first-season space does have the logo. No gigantic deal, of course. It’s unbiased something I always ask to witness on the spines of virtually all DVD packages. Oh well.)
When I first saw the box-cover photo of Mary for this residence I wasn’t too thrilled with the peep of it. It seems a bit awkward and unnatural-looking, with Mary seemingly sitting on thin air. But when I got the boxed dwelling in my hands, the conceal art started to grow on me. Now I kind of like it. (Heck, it’s the pretty MTM after all, so it can’t possibly be that terrible.) 
The same front-of-the-box report of Mary also adorns each of the three plastic inner cases as well. And there’s a terrific (and comical) photo of Mary and Ted Knight (”Ted Baxter”) on the wait on of the box.
Overall, I’m very impressed with this third-year Mary status, despite no bonus stuff being included. What especially pleases me about this particular collection is the fact that 20th Century Fox didn’t honest give up on the MTM Display following what I heard were disappointing sales for the first-season dwelling. Since Fox already had Season #2 “in the can” (or end to it) when they released Season 1 in September 2002, it seemed logical to bewitch that that second status would also hit the market eventually too (which it did, albeit after a very long wait) .
But Season Three was a different matter. I teach Fox could have fair tossed aside any thoughts of future MTM releases following those dreadful S.1 profits. But they didn’t abandon Mary, and I, for one, am grateful for that decision. And not only didn’t they abandon this classic TV series, they didn’t chop corners on video quality for S.3 either. The PQ is every bit as great as the first two season sets. Plus, Fox even saw fit to improve some things over the previous DVD sets — such as adding the Play-All feature and revising the Menu system to acquire it a bit more user-friendly (and faster) . Hats off to the Fox folks!
A few more stats and loose ends re. this MTM-3 set:
VIDEO — Standard TV ratio of 1.33:1 (as originally aired) .
AUDIO — Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono (English only) . No Spanish tracks provided this time ’round.
SUBTITLES — In English and Spanish.
CHAPTER BREAKS? — Yes. 10 Chapters per episode.
“PLAY ALL” INCLUDED? — Yes.
INSERTS? — No Episode Guide booklet is included. A multi-page ad for other Fox DVDs is in here though. (Some obliging series in there too.)
REGION CODE — Space 1 (NTSC) .
—————–
EDIT (Jan. 22, 2006) — I took brand of a very sharp-eyed reviewer’s comments re. a puny edit that Fox has made to the last episode of this 3rd-Season DVD dwelling (”Mary Richards And The Extraordinary Plant Lady”) . And that reviewer certainly is just (although I must confess I had not noticed the edit at all until reading that review about it) .
Ted Baxter’s words (as he hums a song to himself) have most certainly been dubbed over with other nondescript humming. That must certainly show that the rights to the song that Ted is mumbling weren’t acquired (or couldn’t be acquired) by Fox Home Entertainment for this DVD release. That’s a shame, indeed, but not Earth-shaking either, IMO. The same thing occurred in the first-season DVD spot during the agreeable Christmas episode, when portions of “White Christmas” were edited off the DVD soundtrack. Again, that’s not a valid thing either…but not nearly calamitous enough to sustain me from enjoying these ever-so-slightly altered episodes of this pleasant TV series.
BTW — There is a disclaimer (of sorts) re. that “Plant Lady” episode printed on the succor of the Disc #3 DVD case. Although it doesn’t specifically mention anything about that episode being “edited” in any manner, it does give the impression that the point to is subpar in some intention. The sincere words read: “This episode has been restored to the best quality possible given the vintage source material”.
Obviously, via those words, they don’t seem to be warning the public that the episode has been altered in some scheme. It’s probably a reference to the slightly-wobbly video quality that occurs during a little part of the final (epilogue) scene. The PQ isn’t rock-solid during that scene, which might have prompted that disclaimer.
—————–
It’s a beautiful well-behaved bet that if you’ve got the first couple of seasons of “The Mary Tyler Moore Reveal” on DVD, you shall desire to gain this third-season pack too. It’s filled with 24 mammoth episodes from a TV series that earned its reputation as one of the best television programs of its era.
So, why not ask Mary (Season Three) for a date tonight? She can’t possibly say no — because you’ve got the Season-Three DVDs (and the remote control too) .
What helpful news! The Mary Tyler Moore exhibit was one of the highest quality sitcoms produced during the past 34 years, and it has astonished me that it has taken so long for these shows (barring Season 1) to be released on DVD. With all of the absolute junk out there being released (I guess it’s a matter of taste, which doesn’t assure too highly of our culture ), I simply can’t have all of the MTM seasons aren’t out yet. Both Seasons 1 and 2 possess such grand material, and Season 3 promises to be unbiased as appetizing. If you like The MTM Note, recall all three seasons (mountainous discounts on Seasons 1 & 2 at Amazon) . Let’s fetch Season 4 out before too long!
