The Muppet Show: Season Three is a four-disc DVD set collecting all the episodes of the third season of The Muppet Show. The set includes all 24 episodes from the third season, uncut, digitally transferred, plus a vintage television special, a new behind-the-scenes featurette, and a collection of Muppet commercials.
Each disc begins with a clip of Fozzie Bear telling a joke (either from "An Actor's Life for Me" or the "At the Dance" sketch from Episode 311), followed by footage of Scooter pushing scenery and various scenes with Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy hosting the disc.
Similar to the first and second season sets, the initial release features a limited-edition fuzzy cover.

Notes[]
- "A Frog is Born," a feature on the evolution of Kermit, was listed among the bonus features in early press statements about the release, but was subsequently removed. The press release described the feature, "Behind every celebrity’s glittering façade is a tale of hard luck and harder work. This is Kermit’s."[1] A similar featurette appeared on the 50th anniversary DVD release of The Muppet Movie three years earlier in 2005 as an installment of Pepe's Profiles: "A Frog's Life".
- The 1980s Zoot ending is now updated for this DVD, with a shot of Zoot wearing his hat (using a version different from the ones used for TV broadcasts and Best of the Muppet Show). However, episodes 303, 304, 305, 309, and 312 erroneously use the "hatless" version from seasons 1-2. This error carries over to the Disney+ versions of these episodes.
