Summary: NOT THE EPISODES AS ORIGINALLY AIRED!!!
Review: I guess I am a true "Simpsons" junkie because I gave this a 2-star rating instead of a 1-star rating as the collection allows me to watch 85% content unaltered Simpsons.

The key crime here is that you ARE NOT GETTING THE EPISODES AS ORIGINALLY AIRED.

In "Bart the Daredevil" the scene where Homer falls back into the Springfield Canyon while secured to the stretcher and then struck in the head by the stretcher is completely deleted. You only get to see children kneeling at the edge of the canyon listening to Homer's d'ohs.

Had I known this I would have waited until I had drunk enough beer to render my memory so imperfect that I could enjoy this DVDand not notice the way it was edited.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: hilarious...but still developing
Review: THIS SEASON IS 100% BETTER THAN THE FIRST SEASON, BUT THE VOICES, CHARACTERS, PLOTS AND AND OTHER SITCOM NECESSITES ARE STILL BEING DEVELOPED. AMONG MY FAVORITE EPISODES IN THE 22 EPISODE SET IS THE ONE IN WHICH HOMER EATS THE POISON BLOWFISH AT THE CHINESE FOOD RESTAURANT.

ALL IN ALL, ITS A GREAT SEASON, BUT COULD USE SOME WORK...CANT WAIT FOR THE THIRD TO COME OUT

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic Television
Review: I never get tired of watching The Simpsons. The Simpsons episodes have some of the best writing and humor of any television show - animated or not. This set has all of the first season's shows uncut, and some interesting special features. Definately a "must own".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great to see non-syndicated episodes
Review: To me, the most compelling thing about watching these episodes is my amazement at all of the jokes I forgot about. It's almost moving to see all the footage that fell to syndication cuts for the first time in 10+ years. Any Simpsons fan should pick up this collection. (And if you're not a Simpsons fan, you probably will be after buying this collection and watching all the episodes.)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent (as mr. burns would say), a must buy!!
Review: These episodes are some of the best ever made, some of the originals. These were made when all of the commonly used jokes of todays simpsons episodes were just starting to be formed. Any simpsons fan will love these, they are much better than the new episodes, which makes the really good because the new 1's are still good. A must buy!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Do the Bartman!
Review: Great DVD! The first "Treehouse of Horror" episode is on this one, including lots of extras, including two music videos. Everything on the DVD has a commentary by the creators. This DVD will guarantee many wasted hours of pure Simpsons wit and humor. So "Don't have a cow man," and buy this DVD. It's worth every penny.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THERE IS NO BETTER SHOW ON TELEVISION, THEN AND NOW
Review: ... The Simpsons is, was, and forever will be the best show on Television! These DVDs are a must-buy, no doubt about it. There are not enough stars on Amazon's rating system for all of them. Of course, this Simpsons fan has every episode on tape already, but it's nice to get the new, polished, and un-syndicated versions of the classics. I only wait now for seasons 3-5, when Conan O'Brien was a writer on the show. I hope ... they get him to do commentary on the Episodes he wrote! THE BEST SHOW EVER! GET THESE NOW!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fantastic, but...
Review: I definately agree...about some of the extras, particularly the lack of a "Play All" option.

I also had difficulty accessing the audio commentary when playing them in a computer (both Mac and PC): virtually all of the options are accessable using the mouse, so I mostly forget about the little fake-remote-thingie most players have. However the only way to select the audio commentary is by using the "remote" buttons. Hope this helps!

Other than that, it's 5-stars all the way!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The alpha-DVD, this set dominates my DVD player.
Review: One of the main reasons for me buying a DVD player was so that I could get the Simpsons boxed sets. I own both seasons one and two now, and I love them both equally. This being season two, the quality of the episodes are a lot better. Not only are the jokes and the animation better, but the stories also make more sense this time around (In season one, we saw Homer attempt suicide, Marge get drunk, and Homer sell his TV to a pawn shop so he could afford family therapy.) A lot of now-classic Simpsons episodes are contained within this boxed set. There are 22 episodes in all and included with the four discs is a guide to all the episodes, which states when each episode first aired, gives a synopsis for each episode and gives random facts about each individual episode. I thought being able to watch all 22 episodes was going to be enough to contain me, until I uncovered the commentary. Talk about entertainment! Listening to the commentary just enhances the experience. Matt Groening is present on each episode commentary, as are major Simpsons players like Al Jean and James L. Brooks (who are funny enough without their nasal nerdy voices). Some of the stuff they talk about is actually funnier than what is being played onscreen. Even though I have listened to all the commentaries more than once, I keep coming back for more because they are just so hilarious, fun and entertaining. The extras are also nice and a little weird at the same time. Weird doesn't even begin to describe the American Music Awards segment that appears on the extras (just listen to the commentary on THAT one!). All in all, I don't know why I keep seeing people give these box-sets negative reviews. I feel that I definetly got the most for my money. Out of all the DVD's I own, The Simpsons seasons one & two are the crown jewels. If you are a fan of the series or were a fan of the series, you owe it to yourself to invest your money into this set. I have gotten so much mileage out of mine.
