The New Adventures of Old Christine season 3 explained

The third season of The New Adventures of Old Christine premiered on CBS on Monday nights from 9:30/8:30 pm from February 4, 2008 and concluded on March 31, 2008. It was the last season to air on Monday nights. It was originally intended to have 13 episodes, since CBS scheduled the series as a midseason replacement, but due to the Writer's Strike, it was shortened to 10 episodes. It is the shortest season of the series.

In this season, Christine and Mr. Harris have a smooth going relationship, until Christine's schedule becomes too hectic midway through the season causing Mr. Harris to leave her. Meanwhile, Richard and New Christine take their relationship up a notch and buy a house together, which coincidentally is Christine's dream house leaving her feeling jealous and confused. Barb leaves her husband and she has a short-lived fling with Matthew much to Christine's horror. On August 13, 2008, CBS announced that the series will be moving to Wednesday nights after Summer 2008, after Welcome to The Captains cancellation.

This season marks the reunion between Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jason Alexander, who previously worked together on Seinfeld.

Wanda Sykes, who plays the role of Barb, was upgraded to series regular status for this season.
