A GREAT SHOW ! SEASON 3 IS THE BEST SO FAR!
343608
'Rescue Me' is one of the best shows to come along in a very long time! This Season (3)is full of the same drama, comedy and action we've come to expect from this series. It's one of the most insightful series I've ever seen and this year they've added some very intriging twists. The characters are well developed and the writing is top notch in this drama, action, and comedy series. If you haven't watched this program, you are missing one of the most entertaining series of all time. The show is shot in widescreen and the DVD transfers look excellent on a big screen. This season includes commentary and some interesting extras.

I think this is one of the best seasons yet.  With every season the show really comes into it's own, and the change in this season shows it. I have season 1 & 2 as well.  I love to see what Adam Ferrara, Rutledge Wood and Tanner Foust are going to be up to with each episode. I am happy they did away with the "Big Star in a Small Car" segment as well as being in the hanger and focus on cars and the great challenges.  I don't know how many friends I have recommended this show to, or just made watch.  When season four is available I will be purchasing that as well.

This is better than season 1--the pacing is better, the directing is better, the guest stars are better.

Edited episodes doesn't mean syndication style/missing 10 minutes edits.  Apparently what it means is the season 1 opening credits were used, and the only change to those credits would have been the name of MacArthur's character (Danny vs. Danny Williams).  The shows are all 50-51 minutes long!

I hope that this set sells well, and they give us season 3!  The locations, the sets, the fashions, the cars--that 60s/70s style--it's all there.  The music is great, the stories are great, and the colors just pop--the set looks fantastic.  The main disc menu scrolls scenes from the eps while the theme music plays in its entirety, the episode menus have the cool eliptical shapes with the yellow dots to highlight what you want just like on season 1.  I'm glad that we got episode previews this time with Jack Lord's "Be here, Aloha," but I wish that you could watch them at the end of the previous episodes as intended.  Instead you can play them all at once or watch them at the start of the episode previewed.  But that's a very small quibble indeed.

Here's my favorite thing about an old show like this:  no cell phones to move plots along!!!  Cell phones have invaded every other aspect of my life despite that fact that I don't own one, and I'm sick of it.  Now I can sit down and watch an old t.v. show that doesn't rely on them as a plot device!

I'm enjoying these Hawaii Five-0 sets tremendously, and honestly, the episodes are only getting better over time.  You can't go wrong with this set.  Don't let naysayers who complain about a missing episode that only aired once put you off--I agree with Agent 68, they probably had no good source material to use to offer it here.

This the best show on TV, without a doubt.  Like many people, my interest in it was something of a slow burn as the okay Season 1 ran into the excellent Season 2, and Season 3 proved to be the best so far.

The characters, writing and acting are superb - I have a few friends and relatives who'd never previously seen the show and I managed to convert them after making them watch only one episode.

Highly Recommended!  Buy these DVDs now!

The third season is great.  The plot lines are interesting, the characters are interesting, and the overall production is well done.  Since the underlying program is about lawyers and the law, if you aren't interested in those things, you probably won't find this series to your liking.  I would recommend the third season as worthwhile viewing, but if you are just starting to watch this series, I would strongly recommend that you start watching from the beginning of season one - if you don't, you won't know who some of the characters are and you won't know what the plot lines are talking about.

This show keeps getting better. I now have the complete set for season two and although I am not happy about the pricing, I refuse to protest the business practices of the company that packaged the best drama/adventure series ever created.
This season continues to depict the dark side of human nature and the unpredictability of life in the most honest manner I have ever seen on television. Matt Dillon, Chester Goode, Kitty Russell, and Doc Adams form a tight circle of friendship and battle against those who refuse to obey the laws of Dodge and not adhere to basic laws of decency. The brutality and depravity of human nature is on full display. Many of the episodes do not contain the traditional "feel good" endings, which I like because I think it adds to the shows intensity. Most importantly, Marshall Dillon, who is portrayed as a larger then life character, also exhibits weaknesses, doubts, and emotions like all of us. He is not perfect but you know he is doing his best to perform the almost impossible task of trying to maintain law and order on the wild frontier.

Season 2 climbed in the TV ratings to number 8. James Arness was nominated for Best Continuing Performance by an Actor in a Dramatic Series. This series is the best TV show I own and I thoroughly enjoy watching it with my kids. My biggest problem is that my 13 year old son and 11 year old daughter want to watch all the episodes right away. I need to limit the viewing so that we can get at least a months worth of enjoyment out of it.

If you don't like paying the high price for half a season, you can wait until season 3 arrives because like other companies, I think eventually they will package season 2 Vol 1 and Vol 2 into one set and reduce the price to around $[...]. This is what other companies are doing. The risk you run is not having the set available because it is sold out. My final recommendation: Buy it, buy it, buy it.

this is one of the best shows ever. this season is just as good as season 1 and 2 and better than season 3.  instead of a more cultural season, this season deals more with the different science tech on worlds and the kormagg war.  the remaining sliders, quinn, maggie and remmy r still there but now we have a fourth, quinn's brother. he takes some time to get used to but he grows on ya. we learn something very interesting about quinn that we never knew in the other season and it is very action packed with lots of emotions and now maggie is a pretty nice person unlike season 3. the way the dvds r in the case r better than the last boxes.

Season 2 is easily my favorite season out of the three that have aired. Season 3 was only worse because of its short length. Some of the episodes in this dvd are things you can watch over and over and over again. Lesson Zero still holds the trophy for the funniest and craziest episode in the series. The Royal Wedding was the first time we got to see DJ-P0n-3's eyes. And we got to hear Derpy talk in The Last Roundup. Yep, it's a great season. This is definitely worth the $30 they're asking for it. I'm extremely happy that they're finally releasing it!

I have been waiting for this latest season and I am so happy it is now available.  This is a great show and my whole family loves watching it. We each have our own favorite character and I think this may be the best season yet.
