- AnecdotesThis is the episode that introduces Mouse Rat's iconic "5000 Candles in the Wind".
- GaffesAt Lil Sebastian's memorial, Donna has to spontaneously recite Jerry's Italian poem on stage and horribly mispronounces the words, yet later on it is revealed she is an opera singer. Any opera singers worth their salt focus diligently on foreign language pronunciation, especially the romance languages like French and Italian (in fact, Donna beautifully sings "The Flower Duet" from the opera "Lakmé" in French later on in the series).

Season 3's finale "Li'l Sebastian" is a fantastic episode filled with many memorable moments and scenes. The entire episode revolves around the death of the town's beloved miniature horse, Li'l Sebastian. This horse was introduced in this season and will become one of the more iconic symbols of the town of Pawnee. Just one of the many reasons why Season 3 is so great. This season introduced many things that will carry on with the show until its end. Anyways, the Parks Department have decided to organize a final farewell for the horse by initiating an epic funeral ceremony for the horse that the whole town can attend.
This episode is so brilliantly written. It just amazes me how much greatness is packed in here, and the episode still doesn't feel rushed or convoluted. We see the secret romance of Leslie and Ben start to spiral out of control; Tom and Jean-Ralphio team up and start their own entertainment conglomerate; and Mouse Rat perform possibly their most iconic song to date. The episode moves so seamlessly, one hilarious moment to the next, and not only is super funny, but surprisingly very emotional as well. It showcases everything that is so great about the show and gives each character at least one great moment.
The episode also does a fantastic job setting up the next season. Without giving away the ending, there are a handful of intriguing cliffhangers that set up the next season, including a new job opportunity for both Tom and Leslie, and an unwanted visitor from Ron's past. All of these things we see at the end are great cliffhangers that plant the seeds perfectly for what Season 4 will ultimately become.
Speaking of Season 4, some can certainly make the case that Season 4 is better than Season 3. I have already seen the show from beginning to end, and I can tell you that while Season 4 may not be as consistently funny or important as Season 3, it certainly is a more developed season from a story standpoint. Basically Season 4 has one long arch that is perfectly established in the season opener and perfectly pays off in the finale. I think Season 4 is a better constructed season than 3 and still has some very memorable scenes sprinkled through out. So, if you haven't seen season 4 yet, expect a lot of the same greatness that was established in 2 & 3, but told in a much more bold way with more continuity than any of the previous three seasons, and possibly the next three after that.
My Overall Rating for Season 3:
9.4/10
