There’s no doubt that she could win with world over
with her smile but it was also nice that she and her cohorts
were brilliant at comedy. The fifth season of “The Mary
Tyler Moore Show” FINALLY arrives on DVD THREE years after
the fourth season. I suppose it must be slow at Fox and
that’s why this season of the show is finally appearing
on DVD. This popular sitcom managed to generation two spin-offs
while remaining funny, witty and one of the best comedy
series in the history of the medium. ---
Image & Sound:
Presented in its full-frame format, the show looks
good although the image varies from quite good to soft sometimes
from episode to the next. I suspect that some of these might
be either older masters or perhaps they are syndicated versions
of the episodes (although I haven’t timed them they do appear
to be the appropriate length but this is some minor variations
between them which is to be expected to some extent). Skin
tones look decent if a bit faded but the color on the whole
looks faded as if there hasn’t been any attempt to restore
the show (which is probably the case). ***
Audio sounds good but not spectacular. Dialogue remains
clear throughout the presentation and we do get the option
for subtitles in English and Spanish as with the previous
seasons. ---
