There aren't a whole lot of great sitcoms still being produced on TV these days, but Two and a Half Men is one of the few. Starring Charlie Sheen (Platoon, Wall Street) as a slacker bachelor, Jon Cryer (Pretty In Pink, Superman IV - The Quest For Peace) as his more-serious, recently-separated brother, and Angus T. Jones as the separated brother's son, the laughs are nonstop throughout the series. Season three is no exception. ***

The 4-disc set contains all 24 episodes of the show's third season. The episodes included here are as follows: Weekend in Bangkok with Two Olympic Gymnasts, Principal Gallagher's Lesbian Lover, Carpet Burns and a Bite Mark, Your Dismissive Attitude Toward Boobs, We Called It Mr. Pinky, Hi Mr. Horned One, Sleep Tight Puddin' Pop, That Voodoo That I Do Do, Madame and Her Special Friend, Something Salted and Twisted, Santa's Village of the Damned, That Special Tug, Humiliation is a Visual Medium, Love Isn't Blind It's Retarded, My Tongue is Meat, Ergo the Booty Call, The Unfortunate Little Schnauser, The Spit-Covered Cobbler, Golly Moses She's A Muffin, Always a Bridesmaid Never a Burro, And the Plot Moistens, Just Once with Aunt Sophie, Arguments for the Quickie, and That Pistol-Packin' Hermaphrodite. ***

Two and a Half Men never fails to please, and Season 3 is no exception. In addition to the brilliant main cast trio, the third season delivers its share of guest stars as well. Amongst those visiting for Season 3 are Martin Sheen, Emanuelle Vaugier, and April Bowlby. ***

There's not much else that can be said - this show is brilliant, and it stands as one of the best shows on television today. The laughs never stop, and the performances from actors and guest stars alike only add to the experience. If you're a fan of the series, you'll want to pick up the third season set. ---

Image And Sound:

An overall good transfer that doesn't look too different from earlier volumes. The dialogue is loud and clear, and always audible. Image quality looks fantastic, with only the occasional issue or glitch in the picture. To put it simply, this is about as good as a sitcom can look on DVD.

The only special feature in this season set is a gag reel. This is a feature that seems to be commonplace in a lot of TV shows released on DVD these days, and unlike most of those shows, this one is actually pretty fun to watch. Cryer and Sheen are extremely entertaining to watch in this footage. Still, I can't help but be disappointed by the lack of interviews with cast/crew and commentaries.
