The third season of the animated television series, Aqua Teen Hunger Force originally aired in the United States on Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim. Season three started on April 25, 2004 with "Video Ouija" and ended with "Carl" on October 24, 2004, with a total of thirteen episodes. This season continues to focus on the surreal adventures and antics of three anthropomorphic fast food items: Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad, who live next door to Carl Brutananadilewski in a suburban neighborhood in New Jersey. Season three is the only season to feature Spacecataz cold opens, in place of Dr. Weird and Steve. In season three the cold openings featuring Dr. Weird and Steve, were replaced with clips from the failed pilot Spacecataz, a potential spin-off of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Episodes in season three were written and directed by Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro, and have TV-14 parental rating. Almost every episode in this season features a special guest appearance, which continues a practice used in past seasons. This season has been made available on DVD, and other forms of home media.

Community reviews for Aqua Teen Hunger Force, shown here with its season details.
ATHF is a great show and one of my favorite animated comedies. Arguably the best show Adult Swim ever produced. There are hardly any words to describe the absolute spectacle that is Aqua Teen. So many classic episodes, hilarious jokes, and goofy scenarios. Can't say enough good things about it.
Episode 1
Meatwad's new video game allows him to contact the dead. But by the time Shake commits suicide in order to haunt the Video Ouija realm himself, Meatwad has already lost interest in digital seances.
Episode 2
When Meatwad eats a very important microchip, Frylock must shrink down to retrieve it. However, while shrunk, Shake seizes the moment to capture him and shrink Carl and Meatwad. All three of them are now at Shake's mercy.

Shake's E-Helmet is loaded with superfluous gadgets, but somehow an add-on player piano isn't enough to satisfy his lust for convenience.
