Well, how many have dreamed of the day when all three CBS seasons of Airwolf were released on DVD... and the 3rd Season - until now - was the Holy Grail as it hadn't been released before. Packaged in some nice minimalist artwork continuing on from the previously-released style from the 1st and 2nd Season Box Sets there are, however still no extras which is a shame.
But even though this season had many "domestic" episodes to try to reign in the budget, the producers also produced some really superb spy (there's more Archangel this season than last) and hardware gems such as 'Airwolf II', 'Where Have All The Children Gone?", 'Fortune Teller', 'Day of Jeopardy', 'The Deadly Circle', and 'Kingdom Come' being the top episodes. The downside to the 3rd Season is that it contained two of the most universally hated scripts 'And A Child Shall Lead' and 'Tracks' which should have been given to the production team next door - KNIGHT RIDER.
Overall though, the action quotient in this season was well up on previous years and it produced some of the best melodic, synth music by composers Sylvester Levay and Udi Harpaz of the series in my opinion including the superlative chase music for 'Annie Oakley' and 'Hawke's Run'. To complement these three seasons of the show, you may be interested in the official digitally remastered re-release of the acclaimed Airwolf Themes soundtrack which has been released from 3rd December 2007 on Apple iTunes... just Google 'Airwolf Themes' for full details from the official website.

I think this 1985-86 Season DVD of AIRWOLF is excellent and that this has been the best Airwolf DVD released yet, especially since I think the 3rd Season of Airwolf was the best throughout it's 4-year run on CBS as well as the most upgraded season of them all along with the fact that the 1985-86 Season of Airwolf was also the last and final season with Stringfellow Hawke, Dominic Santini, and Caitlyn O'Shaunnesy.
It's just too bad that they didn't provide a summary with it's original air date for each episode like Airwolf-Season One did.
I also liked seeing Catherine Hickland on AIRWOLF in the "Horn Of Plenty" episode when she dances the night away with Hawke(Jan-Michael Vincent) and then entraps him, which was quite intriguing to me, especially since Catherine Hickland is David Hasselhoff's ex-wife and I had already remembered Catherine Hickland from seeing her on KNIGHT RIDER prior to that in the "White Bird" episode and the "Let It Be Me" episode.
As a matter of fact, AIRWOLF was always shown the night after KNIGHT RIDER, since KNIGHT RIDER was part of NBC's Friday night line-up and AIRWOLF was part of CBS's Saturday night line-up at the time along with the fact that AIRWOLF was in competition with KNIGHT RIDER, despite the fact that KNIGHT RIDER got better ratings than AIRWOLF did along with the fact that AIRWOLF didn't last as long as KNIGHT RIDER either, even though AIRWOLF was more upgraded than KNIGHT RIDER in some ways, since there was hefty competion between AIRWOLF and KNIGHT RIDER, since the advantages and disadvantages between AIRWOLF and KNIGHT RIDER were equal.
Airwolf's Third Season also takes me all the way back to memory lane when CBS's motto was "We've Got The Touch", which was CBS's motto back then.
This season also takes me all the way back to memory lane when AIRWOLF was on KTLA every Monday thru Friday at 3PM during my Junior year in high school and when AIRWOLF and KNIGHT RIDER were shown every Monday thru Friday on KTLA back in the Summer of 1990 and the Summer of 1991 starting with CHiPs at 3PM, AIRWOLF at 4PM, followed by KNIGHT RIDER at 5PM and when AIRWOLF was part of KTLA's weekday afternoon line-up back in the Summer of 1992 when CHiPs was at 1PM followed by KNIGHT RIDER at 2PM and then topped off by AIRWOLF at 3PM.
As a matter of fact, KTLA is now the CW affiliate for Los Angeles as well as the former WB affiliate for L.A. before the WB network was changed to the CW network.

Bought this series for my husband who was a huge fan of airwolf as he flew helicopters in "Nam"and wishes that he'd had that helicopter while there...LOL. Love that screaming sound that comes out of Airwolf when put into Turbo mode.....
I recommend it to anyone that likes action/drama/romance. I wish that Jan Michael Vincent would've been able to keep his life together so there would've been more to this series but Season's 1,2 & 3.

I am very happy with the series. I have all 3 seasons up to this point. You need to be aware that the disks may have a bad spot. As the #2 disk in this series has a bad spot on it. I am not willing to give up the set to have this corrected and perhaps get another set with more problems. I am happy with Amazon up to now.

Great show, best season of the three with the original cast ... too bad this show wasn't on TV longer. Glad that it is finally out on DVD!
