Will the third season ever be released? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This is weird. They were slated to release the third season quite a while ago and instead they copped out by releasing a 4 episode DVD called "Time Travellers." What happened anyway? I'm starting to lose hope.

I'm almost done watching MFM for the first time in my life.

I found that towards the end of the 2nd season and into the 3rd season, a lot of the episodes weren't as good. There were some really silly plots in season 3. I'm thinking that whoever it is that makes these DVD's is hesitant, thinking it won't sell like the first 2. I probably won't buy season 3; but would the first 2.

According to a news item on the tvshowsondvd website, My Favorite Martian's Season 3 IS being considered for release, and it will include a bonus disc.

Around 1985-1986, one of the TV stations where I was living at the time used to run "My Favorite Martian" at 5:30 on Sunday mornings (these were the sped-up "lexicon" versions for syndication).

And, yep, I used to set my alarm for 5:25 AM (on my day off!) so I could wake up to watch/tape those episodes.

I'll be happy when the third (color) season comes out so I can finally recycle those tapes.

RHINO home video has still not issued a date for the release of season 3, probably because they are putting together the material for the bonus disc, which supposedly includes the unaired pilot, cast commercials for Kellogg's, and behind the scenes footage.

Its coming out sometime after October. Read here for lots more news on the "bonus features" and the possibility of the cartoon "My Favorite Martians" being released. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/...d.php?t=177816

My Favorite Martian · 10-17-2006, 12:14 AM

Here is this word so far, they are really not sure when or if it will get a release
our friends at Rhino are to say the least a little sheepish on the whole issue.
For my part the extras are just mounting up, another feature I hope to add is a clickable photo gallery for each segment.

littletydramon · 04-29-2007, 06:54 PM

Well I hope something can be worked out. I'm really looking forward to all these bonus features and the 3rd season. with some very great episodes.

My Favorite Martian · 05-06-2007, 09:23 PM

In the many talks with Rhino..they are still on board...in fact they have stated that when this release is out, it will be a first for them based on the number of extras to be added.
I have searched the planet to find so much material it will put other sets to shame..really.

littletydramon · 06-29-2007, 01:43 AM

so, anything new with the DVD set or the extras??

PeterF · 06-29-2007, 08:03 PM

I have a very good set of season 3 for trade

My Favorite Martian · 07-23-2007, 02:24 PM

While Rhino is stalled, we will see a extras packed release of season three from Umbrella entertainment.

Found a link that lists the release date as November 5:
http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/796193

Even though it appears as though it will have to ordered through Austrailian sites the bottom of the page says that is compatable with all 6 Regions! I, personally live in the US so this is good news for us region 1 people in the US and Canada. Unfortunatly the price is very high and comes out to $57.10 US.
