I've been reading articles about My Favorite Martian and about this release specifically on tvshowsondvd.com and my impression (although it's not directly stated) is that MPI only has the rights to season three. If that's in fact the case they would not be able to release a full series box set.

Ok, MPI has the rights to release all the seasons they just feel it is best to start with the third season first as it was not available from Rhino.
Then after that the other two seasons will appear..

If I could ever find out if they have a new and improved version of that one Season 3 episode that looked so bad on both the Rhino VHS & Umbrella set I would probably buy yet again!!

What I'd really like is for a Complete Series Box set to be released (the whole series is only 3 seasons and this should be a no-brainer!). This should be the first thing MPI does instead of creating another double dipping Season 3 situation. And even worse is the plan to then release (who knows how long this will take?) another once again separate release of Season 1 & Season 2. Then in 10 years, I suppose, they'll finally get around to releasing a complete series set like they should have done in the first place. I'd be happy to buy a complete series set, especially a colorized seasons 1 & 2 set to go along with color season 3. That would be a terriffic buy. And to the b/w fanatics, I can hear them already, a b/w version should be an option in the same complete series set, just as Legend films always releases a DVD in both color and b/w versions on one disc. This is my ideal release for this series. No double dipping and a nice neat package with improved versions of all episodes in one box set. Then I won't have minded buying Rhino's and Umbrellas releases.

Come on MPI, release a Complete color/b/w set series set!

Yes the one show with Yvonne Craig "Keep Me From The Church On Time" has been replaced by a new transfer..

The Digi beta master from 16mm was taken out to a open field and used for skeet shooting..it is no more..that condition just blew my mind..I wish that we had caught it for the Umbrella release..but the new MPI one has a beautiful crisp transfer from the 35mm master neg.

This is fantastic news! As I recall there was only one un-restored looking episode in Season 3 and that one must be it. Wow, it's hard to believe some idiot would use a valuable film in a cannister for a target. Just shows idiots are everywhere, even in the vaults where you'd hope they'd know better. Anyway, congratulations on finding this good looking version! Now I have a decision, do I buy Season 3 all over again for one episode or wait till the beautiful all color complete seasons set comes out? I already have the Umbrella set & the original Rhino VHS 3rd season set, this would make it a triple dip! Anyone wanna buy a 3rd season set from Mad Man Muntz aka Hazel Anyday?
