As much as I enjoyed season one of this series, I hated season three. It's like the producers decided we wanted to see the characters we grew to like be abused for 22 minutes a week. Or, thrown around unconscious like several weeks of "weekend at Bernie" gags. Even worse, they decided to parody bad sitcoms for a BIG chunk of several episodes - in the end, meaning you were watching bad sitcoms instead of EARL.
This season was so bad, it made me apathetic about even picking up season two: I just didn't care anymore.

"I was gung-ho about seeing this season after having purchased and absolutely LOVING the first two. That said, I need to make it clear here Season 3 does not live up to the previous 2. Maybe it is just the edge was missing.
Earl season 3 was not by any means terrible, definitely worth seeing once or twice, but it was far from the barrel of laughs that seasons 1 and 2 provided.
If you are an Earl fan and NEED to get the whole collection, definitely buy it, but for most people, I think that renting season 3 will more than suffice."
Big let down

"Season 3 is a drastic drop in the writing of the show. I had high hopes for the prison storylines, hoping it would be a comedic version of OZ. It had it's moments but was a big let down for me, missed a great opportunity.
It gets much worse though when Earl is out of prison. I was a huge fan of season 1 and 2, then this season seems like it written by different people. Most of the story is really terrible and the gags aren't funny.
Did they decide not to do commentaries because they knew the season was a stinker ? If you already have seen the show there is no reason in buying this DVD set, it has not one interesting extra.
I hope season 4 is better, or Earl will be a flash in the pan as far as I'm concerned."
Good Start But...

"I give them credit for taking the show in a new direction and having it challenge Earl's belief in Karma and for the most part the prison arc was pretty entertaining. The problem was when he got out and the writing began to falter. The 50's dream sequence would've been better as a one (maybe two) episode thing and I really started to hate Billie (Earl's third wife). She's just a total harpy that was mean to Randy when he did nothing to her that she made the show hard to watch. Especially when her character got off to a decent start in the prison arc. I know Joy can be pretty vindictive and a spoiled brat, but she had a nice side (in her own way) which redeemed the character. I tried, but this is why I have to give this DVD a lower score."
Goofy!

"This/these are beyond lame! The new season is all about Earl in prison. No karma nonsense, just half baked episodes about ...prison?!?!
Thank god for Jason Lee or this would really blow!"
