Cliff in Charge

A Word of Warning.
This season they have changed a couple of things. First, no funny bloopers on the last disc like seasons past. Second, you can no longer select a "PLAY ALL" option. That is a very bad decision if you ask me. Every TV show DVD should have that. I like to sleep with the TV set on a timer at night. And I'll play an entire TV show disc. You can't do that when they remove the entire option like they did with this season. Lastly, they changed the type of case. It is no longer a fold out gate box. It's 3 mini thin DVD cases in a slip case. Not that that's bad, but I hate it when they do that when earlier seasons were different. Your collection will not be uniform. So despite this being a great show. The lack of effort all of a sudden is easliy noticable. They wen't "cheap" on us. Cosby Show deserves better than this.

Great show, not user-friendly dvds
To the best of my knowledge, this is the complete collection of The Cosby Show: Season Three. I'm a big fan of the show, and I'm thrilled by the compilation.

My only complaint is the actual ability to maneuver through the screens. Selecting the episodes (which have no name on the tv screen, so you need to keep the box handy) can get tedious. You need to flip through each episode and each of its acts before you can select the episode of your choice. Additionally you need to remember to turn the subtitles off, since they automatically run.

With the exception of the subtitles, there aren't any special features to this DVD collection.

However, it's still the Cosby Show, and I think that for most people, it'll still all be worth it.

The Cosby Show Season Three
Season three's box set triumphantly says "still the greatest" but is this box set the greatest? The answer to that is...no. Urban Works really didn't put much effort into this set, the Cosby Show deserves first rate treatment but it seems like Urban Works just thought, "hey, I know let's not put the slightest bit of effort into these DVD's, I know the fans won't care either." Well they were wrong, after a stellar season two release my expectations were high for the release of season three but it's obviously not enough effort was put into this set. There isn't one bonus feature, and there aren't any episode descriptions, only each episodes title. It gets a little frustrating having to guess what episode you're looking for by the title. And the last disappointment were the DVD cases, there all slim cases with each disc in one case, I enjoyed seeing photographs of the actors on the previous releases but...sigh...I guess it's not too big of a deal. But like season two, there aren't any...
