Lest there be any doubt that Ellen DeGeneres is one of America's most fearless and hilarious comedians, Ellen's third season should dispel it once and for all. Considered by many to be the '90s series' best season, it showcases DeGeneres and the crackling interaction with her stellar supporting cast. This is the season that introduced the incomparable Jeremy Piven (who'd go on to shine in HBO's Entourage) as Ellen's sad-sack cousin, Spence. Ellen's flawed but loyal collection of pals (and her mom) spins around her in their own ditsy or self-absorbed orbits, as Ellen the Everygal tries to navigate the challenges of her life, from rebuilding her bookstore after the '94 earthquake, to soul-searching What It All Means. Great bits abound, like the ongoing debate over the difference between 'I love you' and 'I love ya.' And DeGeneres is never afraid to be silly, which often results in the biggest belly laughs (watch her perform defibrillation and CPR--on the cardboard patient in the game 'Operation'). This was also the season in which a recurring gag involved the lack of a new credits-sequence, and the joke just gets funnier the longer it goes on. The set includes 24 episodes and a set of priceless bloopers. Ellen, we love ya. And you. --A.T. Hurley

Rating: - ROBBY BENSON DIRECTED EVERY EPISODE IN ELLEN SEASON 3!!!!
Robby Benson directed every episode in this package, the funniest season of Ellen ever!!!! (Amazon -- get your product description together here -- check with the DGA -- he helmed the entire hilarious season 3!) Benson's flawless direction give Ellen the canvas to prove her Physical Comedy Hall of Fame worth here, and wow -- prove it she does!!! With the help of one of the top casts in sitcom history, the brilliant Joely Fisher (Joely and Ellen are definited this era's Ethel and Lucy!), Jeremy Piven (he is irresistably rude and hysterically edgy -- he cut his Entourage chops here!!!), Clea Lewis (she is so funny -- somebody hire her!!! Why isn't she working more?!!), and Dave Higgins (deliciously deadpan), plus a season full of incredible guest appearances, starting from the California earthquake leaving Ellen's bookstore in shambles in Shake, Rattle and Rumble, to the incredible physical comedy of Ellen and Joely in the two-part season finisher -- When the Vow Breaks. (This is the season prior to Ellen coming out of the closet -- and here she gave ALL women, everywhere, who were just a little different and didn't fit into what was considered the norm, an amazingly funny role model)!!!!! Great TV!!!! Who Stole the Funny?: A Novel of HollywoodBeauty and the Beast (Disney Special Platinum Edition)The Chosen
Rating: - Ellen is allways great!!
Each season, Ellen get better and better... maybe this is the best season of 5 that "Ellen" had.
Rating: - Ellen is more Herself Now
I never got to watch Ellen's show when it was actually on TV because I was living overseas and couldn't get it there. I'm still living in Europe, but now w/DVD's I can catch up (hello - can we PLEASE have seasons 4 & 5 already??!!! I can't take the waiting!!!!). I have, however, seen Ellen's current talk show ("The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on NBC), and feel that in Season 3 of her series (having gotten to know her quite a bit through her current daytime show), she is being more herself - still in Ellen Morgan character - but the writing for Season 3 is largely based on her own convictions and views which are constantly brought up on her talk show, where she is completely being herself and not pretending to be any sort of character. Aside of transparent honesty in the script-writing, the show is as funny as ever, if not funnier in many instances, and we also see the first hints of transition (sometimes not very subtle hints), where Ellen is beginning to move Ellen Morgan's character into being more open about her sexuality (not wanting to wear dresses, sporting a shorter hairdo, never having a love interest during the entire season except for REALLY wanting a certain new best friend, who just happens to be a woman, etc....). A must for die-hard Ellen fans, but everyone must get this - you will roll on the floor laughing!!! Get It!!!
Rating: - Wow! Amazing Season.
This Season 3 Set of Ellen is incredible. It's like some magic thing happened at this point when compared to the first two seasons. The writing, the pacing, the major guest stars, and the chemistry between the actors is all genius. These shows have me uncontrollably laughing out loud. There are so many priceless episodes in this set including the hilarious bachelorette party that Ellen and Audrey throw for Paige. I watched that particular episode late at night and I was laughing so hard I thought I was going to wake up the neighbors. Other highlights in this season include Ellen's mammogram, the arrival of cousin Spence, her dinner party with Martha Stewart, and Paige's wedding.
Ellen DeGeneres, Clea Lewis, Joely Fisher, David Anthony Higgins, and Jeremy Piven give performances that rival the very best in TV. Clea Lewis certainly hit a new high in this season. She's so good. She keeps you smiling and in stitches.
To make this set even better, the picture quality is a major improvement over the first 2 Season sets. It looks and sounds great. This Season 3 set was worth every cent. I can't wait for Season 4. Thank you Ellen and A&E!!
Rating:  - But of course, I don't have to tell you that!
Ellen is so funny! I used to watch her show every week that it was on. And this season has one of my favorite episodes. This is when one of Ellen's friends brings Martha Stewart to Ellen's dinner party. It is a great episode, and Ellen is at her best. If you are a fan of her talk show, you will appreciate the humor packed into this season!
