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!)

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.

I always enjoyed Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey as a couple. Sure, their hit reality TV made them true stars in 2003, but there was always something inviting and uninhibited brought by the two singers, most especially seen in Jessica Simpson. It's sad to think that at the time of this DVD's release they had experienced a separation that's led to filing for divorce because in the first season it was obvious the two had definite affection for each other and were truly in love. I believe they both need to go to marriage counseling since it was Newlyweds that probably led to their separation due to the sudden boom in popularity and demand because I think Nick and Jessica could get over their career anxiety. The blonde moments Simpson has become famous for are here, though fewer and less ridiculous than the infamous Chicken of the Sea tuna comment, and it's apparent from the opening episode that the bickering is getting more heated. Still, it's an entertaining show, though it lacks the pizzazz it'd have had the couple continued doing what their show Newlyweds was really about: being married.

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.

If you pay attention during these 10 episodes you can clearly see the end coming for our favorite Newlyweds. That spark of love and affection is gone and Nick & Jessica seem to be going through the motions. They spend more time apart and Nick ALWAYS seems annoyed! I guess Jessica isn't so cute after 2 years of marriage.
I don't know, maybe it was all the media coverage or maybe it was Daisy the dog or maybe Nick & Jessica just grew apart, in any event they are OVER and even though at first I thought it was hysterical that they were getting divorced, after watching the "Newlyweds - Nick & Jessica" DVDs I do think it's sad. I will miss the show and I will miss rolling my eyes at Jessica's ditziness.
These DVDs are a must have for all Nick & Jessica fans. Let's face it, alot of us didn't really know who Nick & Jessica were until this show aired on MTV!

I used to respect Jessica Simpson even though I found Britney Spears to be the scorcher of all the female pop stars of the late 90s. Her fresh personality, even if a bit ditzy at times a la Newlyweds, and burgeoning charisma drew me to her even though her music had little to be desired. But I can't respect somebody who just absentmindedly decides to divorce someone she was obviously (check the first season of MTV's Newlyweds) in love with. C'mon! Aren't we rushing into things a little too fast, J? Take some time apart, but don't divorce. That said, the final season of the hit show that made Simpson and her hubby Nick Lachey first super-famous is tepid and odd now that they are talking divorce; somehow it doesn't pack the irresistible punch it had when they were married, and I think that could hurt Jessica's career. First of all, they should've stopped after the first season because it's probable their reality TV show, brought on by the sudden boom in popularity, led to their maritial problems. Jessica Simpson of ALL people, with her Christian upbringing, should see that divorce isn't just something you should do if you two get in a spat! Now I can understand their need to be as famous as Britney or Justin, but c'mon! One season was enough--you finally got really famous, for your blonde jokes, and now you achieved that. Newlyweds: The Final Season has its share of Jessica moments, though fewer than previous seasons, and although decent, it remains lackluster in the fact the "newlyweds" are divorcing. C'mon, you two...GROW UP.

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

I thought this last release was quite bitter sweet, as we know what happened to the NewlyWeds,and it wasnt "happily ever after". Not as enjoyable as the first 3 seasons, but if you are a fan of the show (as I am) you will still find it entertaining. I had to chuckle when, on Valentine's Day, Jessica told Nick (sitting in a restaurant with the cardboard heart she had made for him) : "here you are still sitting with your heart on". Wasnt that the problem - he always had a heart on but she wasnt always in the mood for it? :-)

I loved this couple and used to get so excited for the new episodes to come on. I now have all four seasons and love watching how in love they used to be. It makes me sad that they aren't together anymore but it's still fun to watch them in happier times.
Great seller and fast shipping also!!

I absolutely loved this series. In hindsight, you can see they were falling apart in this last season compared to the other seasons, so that part bums me out and it isn't as funny or entertaining as the other seasons either. But honestly, for mindless fun tv, the entire series was great. You can't help but want to see the whole thing from season 1 thru to the end, so I would always finish with watching this season. Even my boyfriend can't help but watch it with me whenever I'm having a "newlyweds" marathon, he finds it as entertaining and hilarious as I do. So sad they didn't work out.
