5.0 out of 5 stars Get busy Equalizing! 27 Sep 2012
By IOWBOY TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
It is simply fantastic to finally have season 3 of The Equalizer, the previous two seasons have just got better and better and its a relief to have this third volume just a few months after the second one, the wait of about four years between the release of seasons 1 and 2 was inexcusable really.

It was during the production of this third season that Edward Woodward suffered a massive heart attack, so the storylines were re-worked to introduce actor Richard Jordan as a former colleague of Robert McCall who is now retired and is also working as some form of 'equalizer'.

The producers of the show also bought in the legendary Robert Mitchum, he plays a character called Richard Dyson, another ex-colleague and friend.

Although it is disappointing that Edward Woodward has less screen time in this season it is cleverly written into the stories and on viewing now I didn't really notice any major difference, his absence in some episodes actually feels like a very natural development in the overall story.

Along with Richard Jordan and Robert Mitchum this season also has guest appearances by an eight-year-old Macaulay Culkin, Telly Savalas, William Atherton, the television debut for a young Sam Rockwell, and a return by Vincent D'Onofrio (albeit as a different character to the one he played in season 2).

The soundtrack of the show remains wonderfully atmospheric, with much of the music being once more heavily influenced by Stewart Copeland, the composer of the infamous theme tune.

For anyone who particualarly enjoys this music I recommend trying out the album: uk/Equalizer-Other-Hangers-Stewart-Copeland/dp/B000008FEG">Equalizer & Other Cliff Hangers, amongst its tracks is an really good extended version of the aforementioned main theme tune titled 'The Equalizer Busy Equalizing'.

There are 22 Episodes episodes in this boxset and they are:

03-01 - Blood and Wine: Part 1
03-02 - Blood and Wine: Part 2
03-03 - Suspicion of Innocence
03-04 - In the Money
03-05 - Encounter in a Closed Room
03-06 - Mission: McCall; Part 1
03-07 - Mission: McCall; Part 2
03-08 - Shadow Play
03-09 - Inner View
03-10 - The Rehearsal
03-11 - Christmas Presence
03-12 - A Dance on the Dark Side
03-13 - The Child Broker03-14 Video Games
03-15 - Something Green
03-16 - The Mystery of Manon: Part 1
03-17 - The Mystery of Manon: Part 2
03-18 - No Place Like Home
03-19 - Last Call
03-20 - Regrets Only
03-21 - Target of Choice
03-22 - Always a Lady

The total running time is 1007 minutes and it is once again across 6 discs; included on the final DVD are an Original Series Concept, Original Cast Biographies and an Image Gallery.

There is a booklet, as with the previous season, and it features a detailed breakdown of the cast and story for each episode.

The quality of the picture is good, certainly on a par of that on season 2 and better than many of the season 1 episodes, it is important to remember though that these are episodes of televison from over 25 years ago.

The Equalizer is one of the very best television shows from the 80's, I have very fond memories of watching them when I was younger and it is wonderful to own them now on DVD to watch over and over again.

The fourth and final season of this wonderful series is available on the 29th October 2012, exactly 4 weeks to the day from the official release of season three!

It is available for pre-order on the Amazon site, Oh Happy days!

5.0 out of 5 stars 10 stars! 7 Oct 2012
Format:DVD
Just thought I'd share my thoughts on this latest release after receiving it a few days back.

Firstly it's great to watch season 3 of my all-time favourite show on DVD; after many years of waiting for the 2nd and 3rd seasons to be released, apparently due to legal issues with some of the music. So kudos to Fabulous films for resolving whatever issues there were and bringing out the final seasons.(season 4 is out on 29/10) why Universal failed to capitalise on their goldmine of a TV archive earlier I can't imagine.

What Is great about the Equalizer is that its one of the few TV series along with Law and order, that is filmed on location in pre-disneyfied New York City so you see some really gritty locations. Theres none of this phoney green screen business like with NYPD blue or CSI NY which are filmed on a lot in LA. And episodes aside from a couple of two-part episodes, are single storylines. - no multiple season story arcs that drag on.

This season like the other 3, consists of 22 episodes , including a couple of two parters, and theres a huge number of famous guest stars in this season such as Telly savalas, Robert Mitchum, John Heard, Macaulay Culkin, Vincent donofrio, Jaimie Sheridan, Michael Moriarty: all from law and order, and Richard Jordan plus regulars Zabka, Margolis and scarabajka.

This was the season where Edward unfortunately suffered a Heart attack during filming, so some of the episodes he doesn't feature as much- Richard jordan takes over the mantle as another old colleague of mCcalls to do his equalizing for him, and does a pretty good job, Inner view , featuring Jordan is one of my favourite episodes.

Great series which is now complete with Series 3 and 4 being released. No chance of blue ray I suppose? This should be revamped into a movie?

5.0 out of 5 stars SEASON THREE ON DVD AT LONG LAST! 26 Jun 2012
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
After being delayed for six months, the third season of this classic TV series is here at last!

This is the season where Edward Woodward had a massive heart attack and filming was delayed after the first 5 episodes were completed. Without giving any plot away, a new character was introduced to take the workload off Woodward while he recovered. With some clever writing, the character McCall is seen less in a few episodes than usual until Woodward was well enough to carry the show by himself once again and his reduced scenes don't take anything away from his brilliant acting.
