With the release of this four-disc set, Warner Brothers brings you the complete 24 episode third season so you can sit back and relive all the classic moments.

They also have two surrogate fathers in the form of their uncle Jesse (John Stamos) and Danny’s friend Joey (Dave Coulier). This set has all 9 hours of the Tanners’ comic misadventures.The third season breaks down as follows:

Episode 22: Three men and another baby: Michelle is jealous of the cute baby that the family is babysitting.
Episode 23: Fraternity reunion: Joey and Danny end up in drag at their frat reunion and end up in jail.
Episode 24: Our very first telethon: Danny hosts the 24 hour We Love Our Children telethon.Although the show may not have been a favorite for everyone, fans of the show will want to continue with their collection. However, others who are not used to so much sugar and over the top acting might want to stay away. This season does have guest turns from Doris Roberts (Ray Romano’s TV mom), Steve Oedekerk, Scott Baio, and Ed McMahon. The show is presented in fullscreen as it was originally aired on television. Special features are not exactly so special. The only thing is a 4 minute featurette called “Joey impersonations” and it’s not really that great. It’s just a compilation of some of Joey’s shenanigans from season three and really isn’t focused on impersonations. He does a pretty good Popeye and Daffy Duck though. Sadly for fans, there are no contributions or commentaries from the cast.Again fans of the show will want to buy this, even with the disappointing extras, but folks who don’t like this kind of over the top sitcom acting will want to stay away. Full House – The Complete Third Season is now available at Amazon. As of yet, there is not a release date for the UK. Visit the DVD’s database for more information.
