Melrose Place - The Third Season is just OUTSTANDING. I mean it, everything about this DVD is amazing. Marcia Cross playing the crazy Kimberly Shaw, is just something we can not miss. Laura Leighton playing Sidney Andrews, and her constant fights with her sister Jane, played by the wonderful Josie Bissett.
Courtney Thorn-Smith and Andrew Shue, totally amazing. I mean, seeing Alison drunk and drunk, and how she is into Billy (Andrew Shue) still. The entire season is wonderful. This is a MUST HAVE DVD SET. Season 4 is coming soon, in a couple days, so don't miss this one as well.
The way Season 3 ended, with psycho Kimberly (Cross) trying to blow up the melrose complex is just something I can't even describe here.
AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING!

This season is the one that really set the standard for the show. It completely raised the bar. In all honesty it's pretty hard to top this season but the show managed to top itself with more crazy antics. But of course all good things come to an end when the show loses all its magic at the start of season 6 as soon as Sidney's character is killed off and of course the show ended at the end of season 7 which is expected because the show lost all its allure in the prior season. Anyways i just purchase this from Amazon even though i wish the prices for these sets were more price friendly, and Amazon usually offers really good sales on DVD box sets from time to time but unfortunately not on this item, at least not yet. After a boring 1st season where the excitement didn't pick up till Amanda joined the show towards the final episodes and season 2 was just 100% better then season 1 but it didn't go completely over the top as the potential was there in season 2 for all the characters to have crazy story lines and outrageous schemes. The finale of season 2 was amazing leaving so much out in the open and setting things up for an amazing season 3. And in the 3rd season it just puts the cherry on top of the cake with the addition of Jack Wagner as Dr. Peter Burns with his odd hair and awkward lips (Lips that remind me of Adam West from Batman & the way he talks). Watching the DVDs the other night made me realize how addictive this show can be even after all these years. I wish there were more special features or episodes that had more commentary from the actors or creators etc. I think all those special features would probably drive up the cost of the set. Of course i was so sad to see Jo get beaten up by Jakes brother especially because Jo's voice brought so much intensity to the scene. And how could i not feel sorry for poor Allison who had so much to deal with this season as she is just one of the kindest characters on the show. Unfortunately she just down spirals non stop from her drinking addiction to having to witness Billy date her best friend and then to eventually see Billy date and marry that awful backstabbing Brooke Armstrong AKA Charlotte from Sex & the City. UGH....her character was so hated they had to get rid of her in season 4. Pick this season up and enjoy. After seeing the finale again last night i just can't wait any longer 4 the release of season 4 in 2 weeks.

When i first saw season one appearing in shops in november 06, i was tempted to buy it to recall one of my fave shows growing up. But i decided not to, remembering that season one was terrible- melrose hadn't found it's feet and was too earnest back in season one. Then, when i saw season two, i picked it up, i loved watching the show all over again and seeing how it transformed itself from serious issue driven storylines to downright outrageous stories. I'm here in ireland and i have been waiting for season three since last november but still no sign, i bit the bullet and imported from US recently and this has been highly addictive stuff. This is the Melrose i remember- it was so outrageous and enjoyable and watching now -it still is. Season three really is the start of melrose at it's consistent best. season 4 and 5 continue to match the standard set here. I just loved watching this season. sydney joining the cult, kimberly going nuts again!, Amanda's cancer fight, jo's baby drama, jane being fooled by the sleazy Chris, the introduction of the spoilt Brooke, alison falling of the wagon.
Watching this reminds of how good this show was even though it was never cool to admit it. I watched three to four episodes every chance i could, it's so addictive.
watching also made me think how modern US drama's are not a patch on the old ones. I mean Melrose moved at break neck speed, if u missed an episode , u really had missed out, someone could have married and divorced in two weeks on this show. Look at Lost and desperate Housewives now, not a patch on this, they take themselves way too seriously when in fact they are very tiresome, i mean the amount of actual plot development in these shows per episode is ridiculous. An hour of Housewives for instance is padded with so called comedy routines with just a mere tease of plot development meeant to whet your appetite. The writers should look back to Melrose, it was so engaging, never a dull moment and the stories went enjoyably fast.
Enjoy this pure treat of telly goodness

I have been trying to purchase Melrose Place 3rd season since December 2007! I have been charged twice in my credit card - and still no product delivered! Right address and everything, and still no Melrose Place 3rd Season! I have written Amazon several times, explaining that my orders were duplicated (yes, I have been charged for two Melrose Place 3rd season DVD's and still have not received the product - talk about consumer rights!)
I even telephoned early February and talked to Customer Service and was promised to have the matters resolved and to this day - February 09, nothing happened... so I am sorry my review cannot happen even having I paid (several times) for my order, that to this date, did not arrive...
Sorry!!!

Melrose Place - The Third Season is my personal favorite. I love everything about this season, all the backstabbing, bed-hopping, and that crazy Kimberly played brilliantly by Marcia Cross. Courtney Thorne-Smith's character Allison really showed her range battling with alcholism and Laura Leighton finally got to shine as the lovable but troublemaker Sydney. If there is one season to get of Melrose Place, definitely get this one, an explosive ending and I mean that litteraly!
