My Top 5 Least Favourite Season 3 Episodes
My Top 5 Least Favourite Season 3 Episodes (in Reverse Order):
5) "Appearances"
More doomed love and a pointless romance for Holly and Chris that goes
nowhere and is never mentioned again.
4) "Secrets"
Coco is gone and no one really mentions her! Both stories here concentrate
way too much on guest stars. Both are big subjects and neither gets enough
time to do them justice.
3) "The Home Front"
A lacklustre season finale that I find quite boring. Chris' family problems
and conflict is okay but doesn't really go anywhere and Doris having a
problem with Alicia comes from nowhere. They introduced this new
character but didn't seem to know what to do with her. At least she doesn't
perform any opera in this episode!
2) "Catch A Falling Star"
Too much emphasis on a boring guest star and a plot full of too much
coincidence. That together with some uninspiring music places this one
near the bottom of the pile for me.
1) "The Deal"
This is a terrible story about a supposed gangster who wants to get a young
opera singer into the school. Opera on Fame just doesn't work for me.
Maybe had the story been more interesting they could have pulled this off
but this is not only my least favourite season 3 episodes but also one of my
least favourites from all 6 seasons.

My Top 5 Favourite Season 3 Episodes
My Top 5 Favourite Season 3 Episodes ( in reverse order):
5) "Gonna Learn How To Fly - Part 2"
It doesn't quite live up to part one but it's a close 2nd and the conflict
with the new characters makes this really interesting. The energy of
Midnight Celebration is really infectious.
4) "Gonna Learn How To Fly - Part 1"
The Season starts with a bang and to me everything seems brighter and
better than before. Then the emotional punch of Angelo Martelli dying
kicks in and with Bruno having to leave school there's not a dry eye in the
house. Fame's only cliff hanger really does leave us wanting more. Plus the
music is great.
3) "Lisa's Song"
I loved the intrigue and mystery of this episode from beginning to end. Mrs
Berg is on top form with some great comedy and both songs are wonderful
additions to the story.
2) "Hail To The Chief"
This is a great ensemble episode with lots of squabbles amongst the
characters and everyone has something to do. However it is the great
uptempo music that makes this episode as the songs showcase the new
characters.
1) "Consequences"
Another great ensemble episode. A simple idea gets out of hand and
complicated as loyalties are tested. Fame at it's best and with 2 fantastic
songs, one ballad and one uptempo this episode takes some beating.
