The remaining three seasons of the show are being released as part of a Complete Series set, which means that you must also purchase the first four seasons as well--even if you previously bought them years ago--like I did. Grrrr, this does not make me a happy camper. I mean, come on, why can't they just release the last few seasons as a box set? Of course, I already know the answer to that question: Because they're money-hungry bastards. $179.98 is what we'll be coughing up if we want the whole Mary Richards experience (hopefully it will be a little cheaper on Amazon or Deep Discount).
So there you have it--the good, the bad and the ugly. And who knows, maybe things will change between now and May, and Fox Home Entertainment will rethink their Mary strategy and release single season sets in addition to their complete one. We can only hope and pray. Otherwise, people, we better start saving our pennies and eating in more often. I don't know about you, but I gotta have my Mary. All of her.

I think they're just targeting the hardcore fans who really have been bugging them about the last three seasons - and then pissing them off at the same time by releasing the complete series like the hardcore fans don't already own the first four! They'd better load that puppy up with super-duper extra features to make it worth the double-dipping on the first four seasons!
After I bought all of the "I Love Lucy" sets, Paramount released a complete series with everything in the season sets but they also included a colorized episode (presented the way that episode was meant to have been filmed but wasn't because of costs) and the rarely seen "I Love Lucy Movie." Sure, they could have released the movie as a single disk with the episode as a bonus, but like you said they're money-hungry bastards!
Knowing FOX, there won't be any new extras.
