More Mad About You coming, but not Season 3...
From TVShowsOnDVD.com:
I hope it doesn't include too many episodes from the first two seasons. 
I've been waiting for more Mad About You on DVD so long, I'll probably pick this up; I just hope it sells well enough that they'll finally go back to releasing season sets.

Recently we've had a number of readers email us a response they received from Columbia TriStar when they asked about more Mad About You sets. The response mentions that more episodes will be coming in early 2005, and the assumption by most of the readers is that this means season 3 will be on the way. Like The Larry Sanders Show, Mad About You will receive a "Collection" release with episodes selected by the stars, Helen Hunt and Paul Reiser. We don't have many details about the new set (nothing has been announced) but we can tell you it'll contain a selection of episodes throughout the seasons, including the pilot and the finale, and will be released in a 3 disc set along with bonus material. We should see this released in early 2005.

This is appalling. It started with Designing Women, and now Larry Sanders and Mad about You are following suit.
I will NOT buy Best ofs. That is where I draw the line. Not like thry care, but I have voiced my concern over the lack of of releasing the proper format to them at their e-mail address, and I recommend that everyone that hates this trend do the same:

Season sets only! Please!

Does anyone know how well the first two seasons sold? I'm not in the habit of defending big studios who muck up DVD releases, but if in fact the first two seasons were not really profitable releases, doing a "best of" set might be the alternative they came up with rather than abandoning the show completely.

Count me in as somebody glad they are going this route. While I liked the show, I didn't like it enough to buy every episode. In a perfect world there would be both versions available.

I like "Mad About You", but not enough to buy all the season sets. I would welcome a best of edition for shows that I would like to have some good episodes on DVD, but not whole seasons.
I think both can live together in the marketplace.

And, Nightwing, what about when their "best" episodes are not your personal "best" episodes? Surely, there will be some missing from the collection you would love to own on DVD? Which is why I despise best of sets, because it's rarely what I would consider a definitive best of collection.

Well, I like Mad About You enough to buy every episode (even the crappy ones after they had the baby) 
but I'll still be buying the best-of set, most likely. I'd rather have some of the episodes from Season 3 and beyond than none of them. JMHO

Just in case anyone at Columbia is monitoring this forum, here's another "no sale" for these proposed "Best of" sets [and yes, I own The Larry Sanders Show: S1 (which I got for under $20 via your MySony website) and Mad About You: S1 & 2.]
Hopefully, the current management at Columbia Home Video will rethink this market strategy or, at the very least, their successors will be intelligent enough to put out seasons sets at market prices.

My girlfriend won't be happy about this. She was just asking me if I'd heard anything about season 3 coming out. There's no way she'll be picking up a best-of, especially since it'll contain episodes already on the two season sets she has.

Maybe when Blu-ray comes out, they will be able to fit a whole season on one disc and retail it for 14.99. I'm sure sales for some of these shows would pick up if they did that. (Assuming Blu-ray becomes popular with the main stream public).
There's always hope.

I feel violated, we NEED season three. I have already invested in the first two season's and now they are realeasing a crummy "Best of Disc".
Boooo.

Mad About You Season 3 Episode Guide
Some great episodes in there. I love the ones with Eric Stoltz as Jamie's ex.
