Rating: 5.0
Excellent! Who cares about theme song???
I'll start by addressing the absence of the theme song, "Love and Marriage".First of all, brilliant job by Columbia Tristar in substituting it with music that closely resambles "Love and Marriage", yet not similar enough to cause a legal action. :)Second, if you really miss that song after hearing it 2234342344 times, I strongly suggest you record it separately on a CD, then pop it into the CD player and keep playing it in "loop" mode during the opening credits, which you just have to see for the 2234342344th time. Perhaps, because 2234342344 is your lucky number. Perhaps, so is every other number higher/lower than 2234342344.I think that even Columbia realizes now that "Easter Eggs" (or hidden clips of the re-union show) was a pretty dumb idea. But, I bet, we'll see more of this in the coming releases, simply because they have to finish what they started. I hope they will eventually do what they should've done in the first place - either release the re-union show separately or inlcude it as a bonus DVD, with the last season's DVD set. Regardless, they have to bring the other seasons out soon. The fans have been waiting long enough!!!On to the actual content. Clearly, the show improves during its 3rd season. The acting is better and the writing is better. I still think that the best episodes are yet to come... This season, however, features some great ones. The two episodes that I really like are "Requiem For A Dead Barber" (where Al's long-time barber passes on, and he resigns himself to a future of beauty salon haircuts) and "The Dateless Amigo" (where Bud can't find a date and resorts to the next best thing: a mannequin). The lost episode, "I'll See You In Court" (which I haven't seen before), is quite funny too. But then which one of them isn't funny?..The picture quality is good, no complaints here. The long-time fans will enjoy watching this season. 5 stars. Bring on season 4! and 5... and 6... and 10.
