Editorial Review:
The third season of this award-winning series featuring master showmen Penn & Teller, delivers viewers an aggressive, humorous exposé of taboo topics, using the duo's trademark humor, knowledge of carnival tricks as well as hidden cameras and blatant confrontation. Winner of the prestigious 2004 and 2005 Writer's Guild Award for Best Comedy/Variety Series and nominated the last three years for the Emmy® for Outstanding Reality Program and Outstanding Writing for Non Fiction Programming, Penn & Teller: Bullsh*t! Continues its controversial muckraking throughout season three by confronting many of the institutions society holds dear.
Penn & Teller - Bullsh*t - The Complete Third Season Reviews:
Great Gift 
2009-09-12 - My Dad absolutely loved this gift. He had originally known Penn & Teller from vegas as performers but not from their Bull**** series. They were in great condition, the content was awesome and we all had a fun time watching it.
Bib Squatton
2008-12-22 - The big guy is funny, the little guy is funny too but he is quiet all the time. I agree with whatever they say, regardless of what they say!
Capice?
As bad as ever 
2007-12-20 - If you don't want in hear continual bad language, or watch 'in your face' naked people, then don't buy this DVD. Otherwise, these guys tackle the subjects that many other skeptics and social commentators politely ignore. This series is not quite as 'fresh' as the first two, but still going strong.
Love the show
2007-11-06 - A lot of the shows are good and informative. Some would be better if longer and some are so, so. Worth the price. This is entertaining and informative at the same time.
A teaching manual for constructive thinking skills...
2007-09-29 - I've read some of the other product reviews claiming that this season was a disappointment, and I'm afraid I have to disagree. Penn and Teller did seem to take a temporary step back from the truly devisive issues, but every episode is still insightful, funny, and fascinating. Yes, even that one on hair (I mean, did anyone else actually WATCH that? There was some pretty horrifying footage. If you've never seen someone get a Brazilian wax before, this is a real "eye" opener. Ick!)
I don't always agree with Penn and Teller--I've read plenty of critisism of their techniques--and they do seem to interview a lot of people from the loonatic fringe to help them make their point; but they are always articulate, and even when I strongly disagree, I still enjoy their point of view and I appreciate their endorsement of independent thought.
There aren't enough of us out there willing to questions what we see on TV or read in the paper. Sometimes it's painfully disillusioning to know that recycling isn't the environmental salvation I thought it was, or that the only thing protecting us from Big Brother is our innate human incompetence. But I'm glad I made this purchase. It was worth every penny.
Oh, and this is something that irritated me when I was looking to buy this series on Amazon: I couldn't find an episode list for the season, so I'm including one in my review.
