Go the whole nine yards with Emmy Award winner Craig T. Nelson as he returns to his beloved role as Hayden Fox in Season Three of Coach from Universal Home Video! This three-disc set includes all 22 hilarious episodes chronicling the professional and private life of the curmudgeonly coach of the Minnesota State Screaming Eagles football team. By his side are Assistant coach Luther Van Dam (Jerry Van Dyke) and the devoted Christine Armstrong (Shelley Fabares). Nominated for an impressive four Emmy awards, Coach is the all-star series that will have you cheering.

Thanks for the review. Just got this today. Let's hope we get Season 4 and beyond!

what im wondering "did they package 2 different versions of season 3?"

reason i ask is because in the review, they claim that their season 3 set came in 2 bulky old school style dvd cases. strangely enough my season 3 set arrived in 3 slim style dvd cases. go figure! disc 1 & disc 3 artwork are the exact same photo of hayden on the front. disc 2 has christine's photo.
not sure if it matters but my set came from amazon.ca (canada)

at any rate.........a SLIGHT improvement from previous releases.
I would like to have seen universal improve their menu design with motion menus rather then the old school dvd thumb nail menus. However, they finally switched the audio to stereo instead of mono which is a big plus.

bonus features, ah well..........we should say "bonus episode" from season 6.
i kind of scratched my head on that one? we seen in the past dvd sets releasing a bonus episode from the next upcoming season. However,releasing a bonus episode from 3 more seasons down the road. just don't understand the reasoning? The bonus episode is the final 2 episodes from season 6 (the mary hart interview 1 hour special.)

The episode is more or less a flash back from all of the previous seasons. So when they show events from season 4,5,and 6 (which aren't released yet) its kind of mind blowing.

I shouldn't complain too much atleast they added to this set.
Hopefully everyone continues to purchase coach releases so all 9 seasons will eventually hit the dvd retail market. It sure is nice enjoying these episodes from the entire un-edited original airings.

keep em coming universal! just a little more attention to detail next time around

Hi Sugar Ray
Nice to see you post again, i wonder what my set will be when it comes the fat case or slim case

sugar ray · 02-27-2008, 11:20 PM

hey peter may what do ya say?

glad they are slowly but surely releasing these for you.

My copy of Coach came in the fat cases. The one time I saw them on shelves so far, they were in fat cases (or at least that's what it looked like). That's all I know regarding this. I got sent the fat case version, and I'm pretty sure I saw the fat cases in stores.

Personally, if they ARE shipping in slimcases, I'd MUCH rather have those.
