Talking Third Season

With ME TV bringing back Facts on June 5th, I was hoping that everyone could help me out by listing the best episodes of the third season. Since it will probably be a year before the folks at Sony release the third season DVD, I am going to tape some episodes. Since the DVD will be coming out eventually, I don't think I will really need to tape every single episode of season three, but I do want to tape the really good ones. I am guessing that I am probably going to tape about ten episodes. However, since I have never seen a single episode from this season, I don't know which ones to tape. Of course, I plan to watch the entire season, but I only want to tape the standout eps. So, if you could all help me here, I will be very greatful.

Why don'tcha just go on and tape 'em all until the DVDs come out? That way you'll have 'em no matter what until you can get 'em on DVD, if they do season 3 (which they hopefully of course will).

IMO, season 3 is the best season of the series (and you'll see why when you finally watch it for the first time), so if you can record as many episodes as you can I suggest you should. However, there are some episodes you CANNOT afford to miss, the following episodes highlight how wonderful the show was. Each of these episodes had all of the elements that defined the show (and you can discover them by watching these episodes).

Growing Pains
The Four Musketeers
Fear Strikes Back
Front Page
Legacy
Green Eyed Monster
New York, New York
Kids Can Be Cruel
Read No Evil

...and many more but these are my favorites.

You know what I think is funny about Season 3. It created an interesting dynamic between Natalie and Blair. There are at least two episodes that pit Natalie against Blair where they get into huge fights which I thought made for an interesting change up from the usual pairings.

I completely agree with these excellent choices (even though every ep in the third season is fantastic)!!!! Definitely consider Give and Take as it is one of my personal faves, but that may be because I am partial to Mrs. Garret.

Thanks everyone for their suggestions. Based on all of your suggestions and having a chance to look over an episode guide from season three, these are the episodes I have decided to tape from season three. The reason why I don't want to tape the entire season is because I hope "crosses fingers" that the third season DVD will be out in time for Chirstmas. I do plan to watch the entire season though.

#30 Growing Pains
#31 Fear Strikes Back
#32 A Baby In the House
#33 A Friend In Deed
#34 Front Page
#35 Give and Take
#36 Sweet Sorrow
#40 Legacy
#41 Green-Eyed Monster
#45 The Four Musketeers
#48 New York, New York
#53 Read No Evil

LOL, I don't remember the quotes. I just remember the "I got beer" lines. I like that eppy though. Tootie was funny when she was drunk.

But it could be over a year until the next release...I've heard Sony sometimes waits quite a while between sets. Of course I would LOVE to see season 3 out later this year, but just in case, why not go on and tape all of season 3 for "insurance"?
