Ellen - The Complete Season Three [DVD]

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

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!!!

I have been an Ellen fan since I saw her do a stand-up routine on HBO in the 80's. This show doesn't disappoint. I remember watching it when it originally aired and I still laugh when watching it now. My curiousity is, I bought seasons 1, 2, and 4 in 2009 and paid $12 total for all three seasons (including shipping) so why are all the seasons so expensive now? I was lucky to find season 3 for under $25 from a seller I had bought from before. I think the price is absolutely ridiculous and i recommend waiting until you see a price under $25. Season 3 was around $10 in 2009 and Season 5 was a little over $7, I can't wrap my head around them costing $70+ per season. Ridiculous. But great show and if you can find a reasonable price, definitely get it.

Simple perfection. Very funny ... my whole family has enjoyed watching it. Ellen is the funniest woman and one of the very kindest. Watch this, it will actually make you laugh and giggle!

Love this season. I specifically bought this for the Martha Stewart episode. I remember laughing so hard back then, but cannot remember some of the details. Oh boy, did I ever laugh hard when I saw the episode again after 10+ years. The Christmas episode was also magnificent. This season has great and original writings.

Forgot how funny Ellen's show was. It was fun to revisit the funny things she did that I remembered from years ago.

I absolutely love the first 3 seasons of the Ellen sitcom.

Funny. Love Ellen

Awesome

This is another funny series of ellen and if you liked the first two you will love this one as well. It is still about ellen morgan the book store owner going through life with mishaps and laughter aplenty with all her friends

Perfect item quickly delivered. Thanks and Merry Xmas! :)
