Rob & Big's Back With Third Season, New DVD

MTV's favorite modern-day odd couple, Rob & Big, are back for a third season for their reality show of the same title.

The new season kicked off on January 8, joining MTV's Tuesday night line-up, giving fans more adventures with professional skateboarder, Rob Dyrdek, his best friend and bodyguard, Christopher "Big Black" Boykin, their bulldog Meaty, and their mini-horse "Mini" in 15 new episodes.

The new season kicked off with Rob and Big’s house, otherwise known as "Three Layers of Heaven," going on security lockdown when the guys discover a mysterious item drifting in their swimming pool.

Other season highlights include Rob and Big throwing a "Super Sweet 14" birthday party for their beloved bulldog Meaty, a road trip up the California coast to enter Mini into a mini-horse show, and an educational quest leads Big teaching Rob what it's like for a big man in a small man's world.

After the first two seasons' successful free premiere download on iTunes, "Rob & Big" quickly established a digital fanbase, becoming one of MTV's fastest and best-selling shows on the service. Back by popular demand, fans will once again be able to download the first episode of season three for free on iTunes Store (iTunes.com), Amazon Unbox (Unbox.Amazon.com), Xbox LIVE Marketplace for Xbox 360 and Bit Torrent as of January 2nd. Each subsequent episode of the new season will also be available to download on the Wednesday following its on-air debut.

In addition to the new season, a DVD of the first two seasons is now in stores -- "Rob & Big: The Complete Seasons 1&2 Uncensored." It is a four-disc set that includes all 16 uncensored episodes, as well as commentary from the cast, deleted scenes, a featurette, the "Dirty Girl" music video, the MTV "Cribs" appearance, interviews, skate tutorials and more. The DVD is on sale for $39.99.
