The Chronic Consumer

Season 3 of the comedy How I Met Your Mother was released on DVD a couple days ago, and this is something I definitely want for my collection. I don’t watch too many comedies these days, but HIMYM is one of my favorites. Although the gimmick of Future Ted telling his kids all about his love life is creepy in so many ways, the issues that 30-something Ted deals with are fun. Plus, there’s Barney to look forward to… ’nuff said!

Anyway, the S3 DVD box set contains all 20 episodes (it was a strike-shortened season, remember?), as well as lots of bonus features, including cast commentary, a gag reel, and a Robin Sparkles video for “Sandcastles in the Sand” — awesome!

Unfortunately, the box set costs $25.99 right now, which is a bit too expensive for just 20 eps. I’m sure it will come down in the future, so let the monitoring begin.
