Summary: BETTER THAN AVERAGE LOOKING TRANSFERS FOR SEASON 3
Review: In a series which never had a misfire and always seemed to be at the peak of its game, "Frasier: The Complete Third Season" is the companion DVD box set to Seasons One and Two. It stars Kelsey Grammer as the imminent psychiatrist and radio personality, Dr. Frasier Crane, David Hyde Pierce as his even more neurotic and insecure younger brother, Niles, John Mahoney as their curmudgeon father, Martin, Jane Leeves as scatterbrain physical therapist Daphne Moon and Peri Gilpin as Frasier's calculating hard knock radio programmer, Roz.

All of the scuttlebutt and horseplay in the prior seasons culminates in what is perhaps the series greatest year of them all: Frasier's old love from "Cheers" - Dianne Chambers (Shelley Long) returns for a hilarious encounter, Frasier meets his new station manager, the maniacal and very demanding, Kate (Mercedes Ruehl), Maris finally kicks Niles out of the house and Martin's sensitive side is exposed when the boys discover that their father was once a songwriter who almost wrote a hit tune for Frank Sinatra. Meanwhile, both Roz and Daphne encounter their own special brand of toxic secret admirers.

Paramount's new DVD, "Frasier: The Complete Third Season" aptly delivers all 24 episodes of this trend setting comedy in a deluxe four disc box set. By far the picture quality on this box set is the best the series has looked on DVD so far. Colors are accurately presented with a rich palette and good contrast levels, and blacks are deep and solid, there continues to be a significant amount of edge enhancement and shimmering of fine details throughout many of the episodes but these are kept to a minimal. Though the overall quality of season three is infinitely better derived on DVD than season two, it remains a less than stellar mastering effort. The audio is stereo and very nicely balanced. Extras include a brief but succinct conversations with art director, Roy Christopher, a benign "Bulldog Crazy" sort of game that one has to access by toggling on the remote, short snippets that illustrate all the guest star cameo voice overs used as call-in guests and audio commentaries on selected episodes. If you're a fan of this television series you will want to snag this box set. Recommended more for the content than the presentation.

Summary: It is a really great show...and that's final!
Review: Never mind people telling you something different about this show...Frasier is one of the best comedy series of all times. It is really hilarous, witty and a great family-and-friends portrait of modern life with its ups and downs. But most of all, the cast is superb. You really get to care about this people and their mutual relationships, like Daphne and Niles for instance. So then,I suggest we heed Dr Crane when he says "lets live for the little joys and surprises that life can afford us" and drink in this marvelous work of enjoyment. Don't you agree?

Summary: Frasier is still in the building
Review: Season three of "Frasier" didn't hit as many comic highs the series achieved in season two - the brothers don't let their egos destroy restaurants, for example. Instead, in these 24 episodes, we get the kind of acerbically funny, occasionally hilarious character comedy that we came to expect from the show. Niles, who in this season leaves Maris, finds his attraction to caretaker Daphne (Jane Leeves) intensifying, especially in the episode "Moon Dance," in which two two dance at a society bash. Meanwhile, Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) has a prolonged fling with his boss (Mercedes Ruehl). In one memorable episode - "The Adventures of Bad Boy and Dirty Girl," the two accidentally broadcast their tryst. Frasier also has a close encounter with Diane Chambers (Shelley Long), who left him at the altar in "Cheers." (The episode, "The Show Where Diane Comes Back," features a classic "Cheers" spoof.) The shows frequently shun cheap laughs to build to a riotous conclusion. The extras are going downhill from the earlier collections.

Summary: not that great
Review: The premises for the episodes aren't as good. We don't really need to see relationships overlapping between Roz and Niles and Frasier and Daphne. That's just the typical thing to do. That's why I hate Friends. But, there are some good episodes in there. Ray Liotta, one of the most underrated actors ever, is a guest voice. So, it's all good. I'd get season one if I wasn't completely broke.

Summary: GIVE US BETTER EXTRAS NEXT SEASON!
Review: This is a wonderful collection for those who care only about seeing their favorite Frasier episodes or the ones they missed. Hands down, Frasier is the wittiest, most imaginative sitcom since the Dick Van Dyke show. Only the brilliant, much-missed MST3K made me laugh out loud as consistently. I own Frasier Seasons One through Three, and even though I love watching my favorite episodes a second or third time, the extras are disappointing. The Bulldog featurette and the Maris extras on this Season Three set are snooze-worthy. Why rehash the same material that's on the disc? We fans want behind-the-scenes footage, rehearsal footage, bloopers, deleted scenes, etc. We want to see John Mahoney flub his lines and crack everyone up! And we all know that Moose is hardly a one-take dawg. I'm sure the producers have plenty of outtake reels hanging around. More commentary, outtakes, bloopers, deleted scenes, please, for Season Four!!! Please listen to your fans, Kelsey!

Summary: Go ahead caller, I'm listening....
Review: This series just keeps getting better and better! After some of the highs from Season 2 (The Matchmaker, The Innkeepers, etc.), I didn't think it would be possible that the next season could meet the expectations of the fans of Frasier. However, they did with flying colors. The thing I love most about this show is its ability to go from side-splittingly funny farce to poignancy from episode to episode. One of my personal favorites from this season is "High Crane Drifter," in which Frasier is tormented by his neighbor's loud music and everyone's basic rudeness. I also love "Chess Pains", "She's The Boss" and "Moon Dance", the latter of which takes the Niles/Daphne relationship to another level (at least for Niles). The extra features are....OK....but they aren't the reason you're buying this set in the first place! What more do I have to say? BUY IT!!!!

Summary: UNBELIEVABLE THIRD SEASON!!!!
Review: When I first heard about the release of the 3rd season of Frasier, I was ecstatic. The 3rd season really shows the genius of the writers. Probably the wittiest season of the whole series. I will be sure to grab it the second it comes out!!
