Description:
A nighttime soap opera about the lives, careers, trials and tribulations of a group of young people living in an apartment building in the trendy neighborhood of Melrose Place. The show was a spin off of Beverly Hills 90210 and starred Heather Locklear as the scheming Amanda Woodward, head of her own advertising agency and owner of the apartment building.
Amazon.com:
'Monumental personal problems.' That's D&D Advertising executive Amanda's (Heather Locklear) sarcastic term. She's referring to Alison (Courtney Thorne-Smith), but in Melrose Place's essential third season, everyone's got 'em. Michael (Thomas Calabro) suffers amnesia from his near-fatal hit and run (Michael's actually a sweet guy when he has amnesia, and the defeated look on wife Sydney's face when she realizes that Michael the scum is back is priceless). Jane's (Josie Bissett) business partner (Andrew Williams) stalks Sydney (Laura Leighton) and bilks Jane out of her savings. Sydney is ultimately framed for trying to run down Michael and is later kidnapped twice--TWICE--once by a charismatic cult leader (Ramy Zada from Dark Justice; and when will that 'It's Too Hot to Sleep' cult classic be released on DVD?). Alison wrestles with exposing her father (the great Monte Markham), a pillar of the community, as a child molester, and later sinks into alcoholism. Jake (Grant Show) becomes the target in an elaborate revenge plot and later is pitted against his resentful half brother (Dan Cortese). Jo's (Daphne Zuniga) baby is kidnapped twice--TWICE--and it's only eight weeks old! Kimberly (a magnificent Marcia Cross), well, space doesn't permit all the manipulations, double-crosses, and betrayals she perpetrates before finally going crazy. And Amanda meets her cunning and ruthless match in Dr. Peter Burns (Jack Wagner), the new hospital chief of staff, who, as he so bluntly tells Michael, doesn't play games and takes no crap. And we haven't even mentioned Brooke (Kristin Davis) as the scheming, spoiled rich girl who comes between sap Billy (Andrew Shue) and Alison.
Yes, season 3 is really something, as acknowledged that year by the classic show about nothing, Seinfeld, in the season 6 episode 'The Beard,' in which Jerry is forced to admit that Melrose Place is his secret guilty pleasure ('Oh that Michael,' he rants, 'I hate him, he's just so smug.'). Season 3 is grand, over-the-top fun, a real disc-grabber (the DVD equivalent of a page-turner). Longtime viewers will appreciate the affectionate skewering the show receives from comedians John Aboud and Michael Colton in a bonus feature that presents an overview of the season (they're right; the name of Jake's boat, Pretty Lady, is the lamest ever). Those who turn up their nose at Melrose Place are encouraged to give season 3 a look. To paraphrase the apocalyptic season finale's famous last words: 'It's not what you think…it's better!' --Donald Liebenson

Rating:  - Melrose Place DVD
The product worked real well eventhough it was used. The packaging was not worn at all. I received it in a timely manner as they stated. I would definately order again even if the product is used. I have just ordered the fourth season because I am confident with Amazon and their quality of product.
Rating: - Melrose Place - The Third Season
Melrose Place - The Third Season is just OUTSTANDING. I mean it, everything about this DVD is amazing. Marcia Cross playing the crazy Kimberly Shaw, is just something we can not miss. Laura Leighton playing Sidney Andrews, and her constant fights with her sister Jane, played by the wonderful Josie Bissett.
Courtney Thorn-Smith and Andrew Shue, totally amazing. I mean, seeing Alison drunk and drunk, and how she is into Billy (Andrew Shue) still. The entire season is wonderful. This is a MUST HAVE DVD SET. Season 4 is coming soon, in a couple days, so don't miss this one as well.
The way Season 3 ended, with psycho Kimberly (Cross) trying to blow up the melrose complex is just something I can't even describe here.
AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING!
Rating: - Getting Away with CRAZINESS & SO MUCH MORE
This season is the one that really set the standard for the show. It completely raised the bar. In all honesty it's pretty hard to top this season but the show managed to top itself with more crazy antics. But of course all good things come to an end when the show loses all its magic at the start of season 6 as soon as Sidney's character is killed off and of course the show ended at the end of season 7 which is expected because the show lost all its allure in the prior season. Anyways i just purchase this from Amazon even though i wish the prices for these sets were more price friendly, and Amazon usually offers really good sales on DVD box sets from time to time but unfortunately not on this item, at least not yet. After a boring 1st season where the excitement didn't pick up till Amanda joined the show towards the final episodes and season 2 was just 100% better then season 1 but it didn't go completely over the top as the potential was there in season 2 for all the characters to have crazy story lines and outrageous schemes. The finale of season 2 was amazing leaving so much out in the open and setting things up for an amazing season 3. And in the 3rd season it just puts the cherry on top of the cake with the addition of Jack Wagner as Dr. Peter Burns with his odd hair and awkward lips (Lips that remind me of Adam West from Batman & the way he talks). Watching the DVDs the other night made me realize how addictive this show can be even after all these years. I wish there were more special ... Read More
Rating: - Melrose place at its best
When i first saw season one appearing in shops in november 06, i was tempted to buy it to recall one of my fave shows growing up. But i decided not to, remembering that season one was terrible- melrose hadn't found it's feet and was too earnest back in season one. Then, when i saw season two, i picked it up, i loved watching the show all over again and seeing how it transformed itself from serious issue driven storylines to downright outrageous stories. I'm here in ireland and i have been waiting for season three since last november but still no sign, i bit the bullet and imported from US recently and this has been highly addictive stuff. This is the Melrose i remember- it was so outrageous and enjoyable and watching now -it still is. Season three really is the start of melrose at it's consistent best. season 4 and 5 continue to match the standard set here. I just loved watching this season. sydney joining the cult, kimberly going nuts again!, Amanda's cancer fight, jo's baby drama, jane being fooled by the sleazy Chris, the introduction of the spoilt Brooke, alison falling of the wagon.
Watching this reminds of how good this show was even though it was never cool to admit it. I watched three to four episodes every chance i could, it's so addictive.
watching also made me think how modern US drama's are not a patch on the old ones. I mean Melrose moved at break neck speed, if u missed an episode , u really had missed out, someone could have married and divorced in two weeks on this ... Read More
Rating:  - Oh boy how I wish I could have seen Melrose Place 3rd Season!
I have been trying to purchase Melrose Place 3rd season since December 2007! I have been charged twice in my credit card - and still no product delivered! Right address and everything, and still no Melrose Place 3rd Season! I have written Amazon several times, explaining that my orders were duplicated (yes, I have been charged for two Melrose Place 3rd season DVD's and still have not received the product - talk about consumer rights!)
I even telephoned early February and talked to Customer Service and was promised to have the matters resolved and to this day - February 09, nothing happened... so I am sorry my review cannot happen even having I paid (several times) for my order, that to this date, did not arrive...
Sorry!!!
