Summary: The Best Buffy Season Ever
Review: Ok I admit it. The ONLY reason I bought a Home Theatre DVD system was to watch Buffy. This is the only TV series I own on DVD, and I can't wait for this particular season to be released. Buffy climaxed this season with the right mix of tension, sensuality, fun and horror. My only gripe is that Europe (which does not have the syndication rights issues we have here in the states) already have most of the Buffy and Angel seasons on DVD. I hope the remaining Buffy seasons are on their way to DVDs for us Yanks soon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Well worth owning and viewing
Review: I own the UK-release and would strongly recommend it to anyone seeking top-quality television!

Summary: One of the Best Seasons of the Best Show on Television
Review: Season three of "Buffy the vampire Slayer" has the second best finale of the whole series and it has many other excellent episodes besides, including the hilarious "Band Candy" in which all of the adults turn into teenagers. (Must have been as much fun to make as it is to watch.) Then there is Faith, the gorgeously bad vampire slayer; Mayor Richard Wilkins III, the wonderfully gleeful villain; and Mr. Trick, the coolest vampire ever. All of this, and a memorable graduation day that brings down the house--or, rather, the school. The regular cast of characters is stretched as the bizarre situations keep coming episode after episode. Alyson Hannigan and Anthony Head do some of their most memorable work. (Then, Hannigan in particular is always memorable.) Everyone is good--even when they're being bad.
BtVS is funny, exciting and as involving as anything I have ever seen on television. The only thing that could be better is BtVS without commercials. This is it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The end of an era indeed
Review: The third season of BTVS saw our protagonist survive her senior year, the introduction of a renegade slayer, and literal head-to-head combat with the Mayor and the political elite in the fictional city of Sunnydale.

Series creator Joss Whedon was still heavily involved in the writing and production of BTVS during this season, and the high quality clearly shows through on the scripts, expertly mixing action/politics/pop in a highly sucessful prime-time combination.

Notably, "Gingerbread" is a thinly veiled attack of the American religious right, who ALSO couch initial pleas for community mobilization against the unknown as child protection. Under the guise of safeguarding innocents, first amendment reading and religious rights are trampled---all by essentially good people who are so caught up in the initial sales pitch they are unable to recognize the grotesque monster beneath is much more dangerous to their lives. Given Whedon's previously stated liberal and feminist leannings in interviews and publicity pieces, the connection in this episode is deliberate and intentional.

Also worth mentioning is the season oppener "Anne" which finds Buffy seeking refuge in a working class LA neighborhood after condeming Angel to hell. In a far cry from the sugar displayed in much later seasons, Buffy is working a very grueling job and getting an intensive education in the proverbial school of hard knocks. Even as a child of a divorced mother, she led a fairly materialistic life in Sunnydale and perhaps did not realize how hard it was to make ends meet.

Characterwise, the Buffy/Angel saga continues, although after the previous season's drama, feels more subdued and even morose (if possible). What passion does exist between the two is tempered with the continued assumption that he will inevitably have to distance himself lest a repeat appearance of Angelus reoccur. Still, it's enjoyable because David Boreanaz has not yet abandoned the brooding 'secret informant' attitude that made his "Angel" character popular enough for his own spin-off.

This season truly marks the end of an era--in consistently great writing---for BTVS. Whether you are an old/new fan, somebody who is interested studying witty pop culture, or some combination of the above, this is required viewing.

For die hard fans of the old BTVS and it's unique style of scripting, it is also sadly the last purchase-worthy season of DVD's on the market.

Summary: The series that keeps on growing
Review: Buffy season 3 is one of the best. Some say the season opener, Anne is weak, but I see it as a confirmation of Buffy's basic goodness and , yes, her unescapable destiny. The season as a whole is wonderful but there are many standout episodes as well. I will mention The Zeppo, The Wish, Gingerbread and Doppleganger just a sample of the best. Buy it, you will watch it over and over. Just like season One and Two.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Season 3 is great!!!
Review: BVS season three was probably one of the top 2 seasons! Even though it isn't out yet... I know it will be awesome! Joss and David really put their hearts into season 3! FISTS AND FANGS FOREVER!

Summary: Season 3 is great!
Review: I am so thrilled that they are releasing the seasons of Buffy on DVD. Buffy was my favorite show, but after the first episode of Season 4 and the premiere episode of Angel, WGN dropped WB programming, and I got the shaft. I don't evn get UPN, so I've been Buffy-less for three or four seasons now. Thankfully, my cable provider now carries FX, and I'm just getting refreshed on Season 3.

This is great season. We get introduced to new characters, like Faith and Anya, as well as returning characters like Spike. It's Buffy at her best. The episodes are smart, witty, and really draw you in. I recommend anyone to check this set out whenever it's released.

Summary: Buffy keeps entertaining all!!
Review: Buffy : The Vampire Slayer is one of the best shows currently on tv, that deals around the life of Buffy Summers and her close circle of friends. After all the adventures and twisting incidents since the first 2 seasons, the third season reveals more plots and twists for the audience, with new stars, such as faith, anya and a new villian, the Mayor as well!! This season being the senior year of Buffy, we also see the changes in the relationship between buffy and her friends and what choices they have to make, and also the relationship between angel and buffy, which is very unique and interesting. The third season consists of the following episodes:

01. Anne : Buffy's problems have followed her to LA.

02.Dead Man's Party : Sunnydale doesn't exactly welcome Buffy back.

03. Faith, Hope and Trick : There's a new slayer in town.

04. Beauty and the Beasts : Oz comes under suspicion.

05. Homecoming : Cordelia and Buffy go head to head.

06. Band Candy : Joyce and Giles get in some Summer Lovin'.

07. Revelations : There's a new Watcher in town.

08. Lovers' Walk : Spike returns to Sunnydale.

09. The Wish : Cordelia accidentally ends the universe.

10. Amends : Angel is tormented by evil spirits.

11. Gingerbread : Joyce begins a witch-hunt.

12. Helpless : Buffy loses her powers.

13. The Zeppo : An ordinary day in the life of Xander.

14. Bad Girls : Faith and Buffy grow closer.

15. Consequences : Buffy's in serious trouble.

16. Dopplegangland : Vampire Willow. Says it all.

17. Enemies : Faith curses Angel.

18. Earshot : Buffy struggles to save the school.

19. Choices : Willow is taken hostage.

20. The Prom : Can Buffy handle a broken heart and save the
prom?

21. Graduation Day I : The Mayor's getting hungy.

22. Graduation Day II : It's the end of an era.

Apart from this, we also get the enormous special features such as, audio commentaries by joss and other cast and crew members, photo galleries, featurettes, behind the scenes, interviews and much more!!! This is soo worth for any buffy fan and is worth getting!! Buffy rules!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best single season of the series thus far.
Review: I will never forget watching the first episode of this season when it was first aired. Who could forget Willow wearing that black leather jacket and uttering what has to be one of the best lines of the entire series, "That's right big boy, come and get it"?

And of course, "The Wish" was in this season, the episode that I hold to be the second-best ever ("Once More With Feeling" being the best.)

PLEASE...release this season on DVD!

Rating: 5 stars
