"Finally the long awaited final season of Father Ted comes to DVD! Season 3 originally aired from March to May 1998 and it is just as strong as Seasons 1 & 2 in writing, laughs, and brilliant performances by Dermot Morgan (Ted), Ardal O'Hanlon (Dougal), Frank Kelly (Jack), and Pauline McLynn (Mrs. Doyle). Its obvious that Father Ted would not have ended as soon as it did if not for the unfortunate and untimely passing of Dermot Morgan (1952-1998) at age 45. Its also completely understandable that the show could not continue without him. Father Ted is one of the most original and hilarious sitcoms ever and like another sitcom on BBC video, Black Adder, it accomplished more in its 24 episodes than countless other sitcoms did in hundred episode runs: Brilliant writing and laughs that only increase with each episode. God Bless Father Ted and all those involved in creating this masterpiece. The season 3 DVD set consists of 2 DVDs with all 8 episodes. I'm also very happy to say that the '96 Christmas special is also included which was recently released in the U.K. as a separate DVD! Here's the episodes on this set:1. Are you right there, Father Ted?
2. Chirpy Burpy Cheap Sheep
3. Speed 3
4. The Mainland
5. Escape from Victory
6. Kicking Bishop Brennan up the Arse
7. Night of the Nearly Dead
8. Going to America56 minute Christmas special (1996) "A Christmassy Ted"Father Ted? "Ah...he was brilliant.""

"Plain and simple - Its great! I finally got to see "The mainland" episode! I never saw it on BBC America, unless I missed it sometime, I don't think it was aired. This set has so many extras! The episodes even have sections that BBCA cut out from time to time, to make them fit in 30 minute time slots, I guess. If you love Father Ted as I do, you HAVE to get this!
Dermot, you are VERY MUCH missed! Too bad more of this wonderful show could not have been made! Series 1,2 and 3 plus the Christmas episode was not enough! This cast was perfect!"
Few funnier things on TV

"Absolutely hilarious. A sharp, funny look at religion and some of the eccentricities surrounding those who practice it vocationally.
It's difficult to come up with funnier TV than this. If you like british (oh, okay... Irish) comedy, heck, if you have any sense of humor at all, you'll love Father Ted."
