Mad About You - Season 3 (2007, DVD)

Great series! These characters are great and have great interactions. I would highly recommend any of the "Mad About You" series!

Thank you for a good seller, very fast, good condition, good communication and i like the product, I am very happy with this seller, I recommend as seller, is very reliable, I am satisfied by the product, thanks again.

The episodes are, of course, very enjoyable (along with a young Helen Hunt with hair that's actualy attractive, as compared to the pin-stright, flat, lifeless hair she sported after Mabel came along that made her look plain, & older than she was [see her on the box set cover for season 3's DVD set]. And why did Helen always walk like her feet hurt??).
I liked this series mainly through to the season 4 finale, when Jamie discovers she's pregnant, after their marriage nearly ends. After that, seasons 5 through 7 are all about the pregnancy, birth, and "poop-stories" of Mabel (acronym or not, what a disappointing choice for a name. I'll take "S.O.N.Y.A." any day! LOL). The positives are the great one-liners written for Paul's character, and the amazing parade of stars Paul Reiser & company got to sign on for appearances throughout the entire series, including the wonderful introduction, and repeated appearances, of ad-lib magician Mel Brooks as the irrepressible Uncle Phil, and the re-casting of Jamie's parents with the incomparable Carol Burnett and Carroll O'Connor (who we don't see enough of). Carol Burnett is hysterical as always, and easily outshines what's-her-name, cast from the beginning as Paul's annoying, childish, self-centered, manipulative mother. Fortunately, the character of Burt Buchmann is so lovable that he's always a delight to watch, and so it's especially heart-rending & poignant that the series finale includes his death and funeral.
The problems I have with this DVD set are in the manufacturing of the disks themselves. The episodes were compressed to fit 8 to 9 on each double-layer DVD disk, so the video playback is somewhat grainy.
Nevertheless, these early seasons have major "gem" episodes, especially season 3. So, enjoy all of it - "Mad About You" is a great sitcom.

Mad About You season 3 is packed full of the greatest and funny moments. The Thanksgiving episode where they keep losing the turkey, their dog Murray starring in a commercial and becoming famous, flash-backs of Paul's bad-luck birthdays, Jamie's ex-boyfriend Alan creating a likeness of Jamie for his comic book and many other great episodes. Season 3 also has my all-time favorite episode which features an alternative universe where Paul and Jamie never met and they had different lives. Season 3 is definitely worth buying.
One mistake that ebay made in its description of season 3 is mentioning Paul and Jamie going to a therapist. This didn't take place in season 3. It took place in a later season, I don't know which one.

hi, just a quick note to review this dvd set. what can you say about a show that has everything. you first have a show that comedy,it also has great acting. the shows generally give something to think about.last but not least the actors..... love all of them, they did a great job.. one and all.

Great collection! Loved the show. Now even better that I can watch when I want instead of trying to catch reruins.

The older years of this sitcom are the best. Just like most today, the older it is, the more the show dips.
If you don't know about this show, get the first 5 seasons, they are the best.

Why aren't these in reruns? This was one of my favorite shows and to see it again... well words just can't describe. My favorite episode is where Jamie and Lisa accidentally switch purses.
Most of the DVD T.V. sets I purchase I watch once, then resell, but I will keep this one to watch over and over. The writing is so clever, it is a truly funny show.
I also have Season 2 on its way and am (somewhat) patiently waiting for Season 4 to come out.

By far one of the best seasons of the 7!! Mad About You was in its creative stride during this season. Some big name guest stars (Cyndi Lauper, Carl Reiner) made this a season to rememeber!! The stories were original, funny and tugged at the heartstrings of America.

The characters are crazy just like real people. Maybe a little crazier then some but the writing and actors are great.
