Rating:  - Moonlighting Season 3
While we have not had time to review the CD to make sure it has the single episode on it that we need the CD arrived in quality condition, in a very timely manner and I have no complaints.
Rating: - Big Man on Mulberry Street!
If I could, I would give this season 10 out of 10 stars because of the "Big Man on Mulberry Street" episode. The ending scene on the plane, the dream sequence with Billy Joel's song, and the scene where Maddie shows up in David's hotel room make this DVD well worth the price. Plus, there are many other great episodes including, of course, the four-parter that ends with "I Am Curious, Maddie." In that episode, the scene in the elevator/parking garage where Maddie watches David walk away is classic!
Rating:  - Different angle
This is not about defective dvd's(they're not) or about "What I think of the Moonlighting series" but is rather what I thought of Season 3. I don't have to repeat the characters,stars,or basic premise, there's already plenty of that in other reviews.
Those new to Moonlighting need to know that this is the year the series took a real sharp turn. The egos of the stars were clashing, and always in the news. It was reported each star was refusing to show up for filming, wouldn't act together, and other tantrums. Clearly, story lines had to be written and rewritten to detour around the feud. It is Season 3 that Herb Viola is introduced as a love interest for Miss Depesto. They soon garner a greater and greater presence in the show. At times, the 2 stars are relegated essentially to doing cameos. I believe this was a cheap tactic intended only to hide the fact that the stars were appearing less and less. Personally, I did not tune in to see Herb and Agnes. It was also during this season that Maddie appeared to "pick up" Sam(Mark Harmon) and sleep with him. I thought this very much out of Maddie's character. Soon after, when Cybill became pregnant- her pregnancy was written into the show for Maddie.
While some found these substantial changes merely continuing a storyline, I thought them too contrived, and it appeared to me that instead of writing for the spirit and mood of the characters so popular in Season 1 and 2, these storylines strayed too far from the original to accommodate the stars' ego, merely to keep pumping out episodes of the show. Purists and collectors will want all seasons of course, but for those who purchase this merely to watch and enjoy, I recommend buying only seasons 1-3.
Rating: - Television at its best!!!
A unique gem, an undeniable chemistry!!! Although it has been over 20 years since it first aired on TV, it's still fresh and modern. I adore every single episode of season 3!! Great acting from both Willis and Shepherd.
Rating: - The DVD's are NOT DEFECTIVE...
The DVD's are NOT DEFECTIVE...
Simply go to the EPISODES Menu and put the cursor on the
RIGHT ARROW (>) at the bottom of the screen and press it.
Another MENU will open with the other 2 Episodes shown.
I agree that whoever "mastered" this set should have made it more CLEAR, but the discs are in no way "defective" and all features are accessible
if you push the right "buttons".

There is a problem with DVD menu (Disk 2/3)
Episode index allows you access only to the first 2
episodes on each disk
However you can get to all episodes on the disk via Play All option and then bring up your menu option and enter 7 on the chapter option as soon as the credits start and skip to the next episode...Pretty Rube Goldberg for the price of the package...

...Disc 2 & 3 are defective. And we wrote Amazon about the problem, and were told it was not their problem. So they are going to continue selling them to unsuspecting customers,
All Amazon would have to do is send back their stock to Lionsgate, or whoever the manufacturer is, and ask that they replace the defective discs. But customer service says it is not their problem...
