I know it is a pain but I doubt any of you even know why Season 3 is being split in two. The reason is because Season 3 has an abnormally large number of shows in it, mainly because it has numerous Promise Land crossovers, and the rights to Promise Land have to be bought as well. They aren't doing this just to be mean. They didn't do this for season 1 or 2 and I doubt this will happen to any other season either. So please calm down, everyone.

Being a single parent of many children, I appreciate good programs that can help my children and I to have feelings about our own lives, and others in situations that could happen. These shows get into our hearts and helps us to feel what it might be like for someone else when we watch the movies, and also helps us to stop and think about our own lives and if we are doing our best, or if we could do better in the way that we treat others. I wish there were more shows like this.

Complete season sets of Andy Griffith contain 32 episodes, each fitting into a half-hour time slot. They sell for roughly $30. TBAA season 3, set 1 contains 16 episodes, each for a one-hour time slot. It also sells for roughly $30. I don't see any disparity there and will not be complaining to anyone. I am most happy to have this program available to buy and am glad that it is being marketed at a very competitive price. I, like many others, would be willing to pay more if it were necessary, simply because this is such a great series. True fans will buy all of the seasons...if they are released...any way they are released...for any reasonable price. The digital conversion that was done on the first two seasons was excellent. Picture quality is great, and if you've never heard the opening theme song through a good surround-sound system with LOTS of bass you're in for a real treat! What a theme song ... and what a voice! Della..."you done good"!!! Well, this is one satisfied customer: with the first two seasons in-hand and the first part of season 3 on the way I am supremely happy that the series is still alive and available to those of us who love it. I hope the entire series is released. I will do my part by buying all of them that are. Hopefully there are enough of us to make it profitable and feasible.

Just saw the first show on this volume. My heart was so moved by the Doctor who gave up her family to pursue getting ahead of others just for some financial gain. Doesn't matter whether we are millionaires or living on little as the heroins in this story were, I truly believe so many of us would be wonderfully blessed to see such a powerful moving story.

After watching the generosity of so many strangers on a bus, I could not help but cry. Was so powerfully moved by only the first show. Told my wife this was worth $30,000.00.

Can not wait till our family gets to watch ALL 16 shows on this dvd. I have not ever seen any other show like this one. Thank you very much to the makers of this movie for an amazingly unique show!!!!!

Unless it's simply not affordable, the entire third season should be released at once.

I understand the frustration about the split-packaging of this DVD series. In fact, I support the criticism to the studio for this type of marketing. First off, there's only one reason at which they have chosen this style of "money making" and that I'm sure is not one that makes anyone happy but themselves. Second, this is by far one of the most popular and respected shows to have aired in television history and this marketing only brings a tainted dipiction of the series to some of the most beloved fans.

Not everyone loves this show, no. But, not everyone who does can afford this split-packaging idea either. There's no need for it and they're going to get more money for it anyway. It's also odd in the fact that the show designates the need to love and understand one another while the studio releasing of this series is doing just the opposite. I can't help but be reminded of Jesus turning over the tables of the robbers when they were making a profit off of religous sacraments that were unneccessary and offensive to some people. Some may argue that this is the same, some may say it's not as bad as the original situation. I shall let the consumer decide for themselves.

Nevertheless, I still love the show, but I may end up passing on buying more of the seasons until the studio realizes their mistake and how they are frustrating many consumers who love this beloved show. This is the same studio that made the mistake in 2002 and 2003 to release the first season of I Love Lucy in 9 volumes spanning over a year long release. I'm sure eventually they will once again realize this mistake and re-release season three of Angel, like they did of the first I Love Lucy season in 2005, when they come back to reality.

(My 1 star rating applies to the packaging, not the series nor the season themselves.)

Always enjoy watching Touched by an Angel...good, uncomplicated stories that don't take a whole lot of concentration when you're doing other things. The only thing I didn't like was that they split the third season into 2 volumes, so I by the time I purchase the second volume it will end up costing almost twice as much as the previous single volume seasons.

This third season of "Touched By An Angel" is very good. They don't make shows like this anymore. And so far, there aren't anymore reruns of this show. Therefore, I recommend that all fans of this show should buy this set, along with Seasons 1 and 2. The only downfall about this set is that it's released in two volumes. But it's not a big issue because this set is much cheaper than the first two season. Now, as far as the picture quality is, it's ok. It's not the best transfer. The main problem with the picture is that it has a muddy look and there is some bleeding. Overall, it's not a bad transfer, but it could've been better. As far as the sound quality is, it is very good. In my opinion, this is the best a Dolby Digital 2.0 sound can get. The theme song has great bass and dialogue is always very clear. This set is worth owning because of it's great content. Now get yours now before they go out of print.

Definitely not for cynical, negative people, Touched By an Angel touches the heart of American People who are tired of "trash television". This is indeed a series with "heart". The 16 episodes in this collection will more than attest to that fact! All I can say is can't wait for part two!!

A show that can be watched without offense! Truly one of a kind and I'll be the first to buy the second half of season 3. Hurry up and get it out there!!
