Just Shoot Me: The Complete 3rd Season
It took several years from the first DVD release of Just Shoot Me seasons one and two to get a second set. It was always a favorite sitcom of mine for the way it knew its characters and played within the confines of the workplace sitcom. It was edgier than most.

Season three has some standout episodes, most notably “Slow Donnie.” This was really politically incorrect and probably still is, even in a post-The Ringer/South Park world.
“How the Finch Stole Christmas” is a classic case of David Spade playing a petty schemer, with an O. Henry-esque twist. The finale also introduces what will be a running arc of Finch married to a supermodel (Rebecca Romijn-then-Stamos).
Those are the ones that stand out almost a decade later, but I remember each episode containing real laughs. There wasn’t really a predictable formula, you just waited to see what these characters would do.
