The Sopranos: The Complete Third Season [4 Discs]

"The third season of the award-winning HBO series about one harried boss in the New Jersey Mafia arrives on DVD in a package that bears a good bit more gloss than one usually expects from the home video release of television material. Spreading 13 episodes over four discs, The Sopranos: The Complete Third Season has been transferred in 16:9 anamorphic format, appearing letterboxed on conventional televisions and formatted to fill the screen on widescreen monitors. The audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Surround 5.1, employing the original English language tracks. The disc also features closed-captioning in English and optional subtitles in English, Spanish, and French. In terms of bonus features, three of the episodes on the set feature alternate commentary tracks: ""Pine Barrens"" with Steve Buscemi, who directed the episode; ""The Telltale Moozadel"" with Michael Imperioli, who wrote the episode's script as well as playing Christopher Moltisanti; and ""Amour Fou"" with David Chase, the show's creator and producer, who also penned the story for this installment. The set also includes a short documentary on the production of the series, the ""Previously On"" introductions and ""Next On"" codas that aired before and after each episode, recaps of the events from seasons one and two, biographies of the principle members of the cast and crew, and synopses for all 13 episodes."
