"Finally, the best season of NEWLYWEDS is on its way! After the first season i thought the show had hit it's peak because the second and third season weren't that great! But i think this season showed a new side of both nick and jessica. We got to see jessica film THE DUKES OF HAZZARD (and check her out in THOSE shorts) and nick without jessica. Although the finale was SOOOOOO SET UP it's unbelievably unbelievable, it was great to re-cap the entire series! Enjoyable, funny, NOT DISAPPOINTING! Buy it! (or wait for the box set with all four seasons which will be unavoidable to descrease your savings balance and increase theirs!)"

Newlysplit - What a dissapointment

"I was hoping that Season 3 would be a great finale after the average Seasons 2 and 3. I had always liked Jessica and Nick before Newlyweds, and thought Season 1 was fab.

This is why I was so looking forward to the Finale - I felt like we'd been on the journey with the couple and it was the end of the road.

So when the box set came I was hoping for the spirit of Season 1 to reform and fill me with excitment like at the begining....

However...I was to be dissapointed.

Its very clear that Nick and Jess were spending more and more time apart - that things were cooling between them. I was dissapointed for one of the main reasons I loved newlyweds was because of the romance and mushy stuff between them.

I also had in the back of my mind that this couple had now split - a little under 12 months since the finale was filmed.

To be honest, i feel a little bit conned as a consumer, I feel like i've bought the books and the various DVDs and now they've made their money and fame there chucking the towell in.

If your a fan and already own the previous seasons, do buy. if not, its not worth it - particulary as they have now split."

Could've been good had they stuck together

"I grew up in junior high in the midst of the chaotic, often repeatable business of the revived Teen Pop music. Of course, being a typical adolescent, I enjoyed the fresh, disposable genre--especially since I had a fondness toward prime revivalist and hottie Britney Spears. But I knew who Jessica Simpson in the end of 2000, a year after her tepid debut Sweet Kisses hit shelves, and enjoyed her music--sure, she didn't come off nearly as irresistible as Britney, but she was hot, blonde and had some decent songs (none of which were as good as "...Baby One More Time"). Then, in 2003, at age 18 I first heard about the highly entertaining and hugely publicized Chicken of the Sea "incident" from her and new hubby Nick Lachey's hit-MTV reality show Newlyweds. Of course, this is what actually made the two B-listers become as famous on the scale of Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, but intrigued by how ridiculous the "So is this chicken or fish?" comment everyone seemed to be bubbling about, I decided to see a show. I enjoyed it a lot--mainly because Jessica Simpson didn't put on some show of being a high maintenance superstar (since, at the time of the taping, she hadn't achieved that success yet). I became a kind of closet Newlyweds fan and even purchased every season on DVD. But then, last November, I heard the couple had actually split; not only did the release of the final season here seem unbelievable, it completely didn't help that the couple that became famous for a show should put out a DVD compilation of their final moments when they were still together. Sure, it had its enjoyable moments (though far and few, and even less ridiculous as the Chicken of the Sea comment), but the fact that you knew both stars had separated quenched the overall enjoyment. It's kind of sad that Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey achieved true A-list status but lost their cherished marriage (obviously, as seen in previous episodes, these two are/were in love) because of the show that made them famous. It's also sad because Jessica Simpson seems to be on a spiral amidst the media frenzy when, a year ago, she was on top of the world and rivaling pop super-superstar Britney Spears. Newlyweds: The Final Season is good, but somehow their pending divorce makes it less than stellar. I guess Simpson's boots really were made for walkin'. ~Chris Eberlein"

Newlyweds Final Season DVD

"What a waste of money. I own all the seasons of the newlyweds and this final one has two episodes that are from season 3, I can't believe I wasted my money. Even the special extras are the exact same. I am definately not impressed with this. It was like the directors were trying to resell and I can't believe it's legal to charge this much for something they sold as season 3."
