Video and Audio:

The series is presented here in the same full-screen aspect ratio as it is shown in Cartoon Network. The colors come across very nicely, and there are few to no digital flaws to be found. The soundtrack is in Dolby Digital 5.1, but while there is an occasional sound effect coming from the back, mostly it's just extra speakers for the 2.0 mix.

Extras:

The second disc of the set is loaded, with 11 promos, storyboards, a karaoke feature for the new birthday song of Spirit Journey Formation Anniversary, outgoing phone answering machine messages (Carl: "Hey, this is Carl. New Jersey rules, you backwards, retarded creep."), three deleted scenes and four scripts. There are no "play all" options for most of these, which is annoying with so much material.

There is also a 37-minute featurette entitled "How to Score Big Making Money Writing for Television." It's mostly patience-trying, especially the early writing stages, but watching the table read towards the end is interesting, as you see the actors looking at the script and laughing at it for the first time.

Finally, there are commentary tracks on The Shaving, The Clowning, The Last One and Spirit Journey Formation Anniversary. The tracks are occasionally informative, sometimes funny and sometimes flat out bizarre. There are a lot of voices on each one, and it can be difficult to figure out who is saying what.

Final Thoughts:

It's hard to enthusiastically recommend Aqua Teen Hunger Force vol. 3 to anyone who hasn't seen the show before. But for everyone from those who have caught an airing on Cartoon Network and enjoyed it to the hardcore, memorize-every-line types, this two-disc set is nearly perfect.
