Back in mid-October, we
had a story about how
Ellen would for certain continue on DVD, with the 3rd season planned for the first quarter of 2006. A week later, we
passed along a release date, courtesy of Pavan at Sitcoms Online, for this set. That date has been confirmed with
a pre-release listing at DVDPlanet.com:
February 28th.
$49.95 is the SRP for this release, but the popular online retailer will let you pre-order it right away and lock it in at a $34.97 discounted price. This is a 3-DVD set, according to information in the listing. Ellen DeGeneres and Joely Fisher (who had such a good character recently on
Desperate Housewives) are joined in this season by Jeremy Piven (
Cupid) as "Spence," who shakes up her life in the season premiere just as an earthquake has shaken up the bookstore. Guest stars this year included Jamie Kennedy, Martha Stewart, Carrie Fisher, Kathy Griffin, RuPaul, Carol Kane, Barry Corbin, Janeane Garofalo, Kathy Najimy, Jay Leno, Greg Germann, Mariska Hargitay, and Mary Tyler Moore!
We're still waiting on A&E for cover art and information about extras for
Ellen - The Complete Season 3, but stay tuned and we'll be back with that info just as soon as we can.
