Thomas and Friends is a children's television series about the engines and other characters working on the railways of the Island of Sodor, and is based on The Railway Series of books written by Rev. W. Awdry.
This article lists and details episodes from the third season of this series, which was first broadcast 1991. Some episodes in this season have two titles: the original titles (also known as "UK titles") are unbracketed, while American-adapted titles (also indicated by " - US") are bracketed. Both titles are considered valid, although the original titles are perhaps more correct than the American-adapted titles.
Season 3 is narrated by Michael Angelis, although George Carlin narrates the episodes for American audiences.
