Season 3 DVD
It looks like Warner Brothers has released the 3rd season on dvd but it's only through their website right now. I hope amazon gets it eventually.

I urge everyone who wants to see future releases to purchase this from them. They are basically manufactured by demand, in that WB is only printing copies for the people who order them. They are testing this method out, since they lost money on the first two season releases just sitting on shelves. If this works out, they might continue to do this "by demand" strategy for Seasons 4 onward. Already purchased my copy!
shareReceived my Season 3 DVD on Saturday.
A few notes:
-The DVDs are actually normal pressed DVDs not DVD-Rs. I'm told that Warner Archive actually makes pressed DVDs for the first printing before they switch to DVD-Rs. So I suggest you order early so you can get the pressed DVDs.
-After a quick browse all episodes seem to be complete with most running a little over 24 minutes. A few run a little shorter, but I'm assuming they are complete as well.
-Aloha and The Obscure Objects of Our Desire are broken up into two parts for some reason but again they seem to be complete at 24 minutes for each part. Aloha Part 2 even has a voice over from Alan Thicke before the credits plugging the hotel the cast and crew stayed at.
-Part 1 of Dance Fever has a reminder on screen before the closing credits asking viewers to tune in tomorrow at 8/7 Central for Part 2.
-How the West Was Won Part 1 has a reminder on screen asking viewers to tune in Tuesday Night for Part 2. Finally, Part 2 of How the West Was Won has Alan Thicke's voice over before the credits telling viewers to stay tune for more with Coach Lubbock (obviously referring to Just the Ten of Us).
Ordered mine today, already got Season 1 and Season 2/reunion movies are coming, can't wait! :D
