Summary: Signifigantly better than the first.
Review: Unlike season 1, this time everything was redone. The image quality is almost flawless, and the sound is re-recorded in DOLBY Digital 5.1 sound. The only drawback is that you've probably already seen every episode countless times before.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Worth paying for what you don't get on TV
Review: I'm often reluctant to shell out hard earned cash on stuff I can get for free on TV, but the Simpsons Season 2 is well worth it. You will have seen all the episodes plenty of times over the past 10 years, and the extra footage of Butterfingers ads and Emmy awards is fairly pointless, and 'Do The Bartman' is still too embarrassing to be cool in a retro styleee, but don't let that put you off.

The DVD is invaluable for the commentary featuring Matt Groening and the writers and director for each episode. Here you'll find out more about in jokes and will soon build up a stronger picture of all the movie references you've previously spotted. You'll also learn more about the tiny guest spots that were not heavily publicised.

As an extra bonus for viewers who have only ever seen The Simpsons on US TV you get access to many of the 'Euro-minutes' that you've previously missed out on in favour of extra commercials. The commentary sheds light on much of the product development that was still going on at that time, reminding you of many of the changes in style over the years.

If you're not a Simpsons obsessive before watching this, you will be afterwards, filled with hundreds of trivial gems with which to bore your friends!

Summary: Simpsons Second Season on DVD! Woh Hoo!
Review: There back! For all the Simpson fans out there, our favorite animated family is back with season 2! As a serious Simpsons fan, I bought the first season also. But it of course it is not as funny as this one. By this season the writers had hit their stride, and it looks great. In case you were a little let down by season one,( after all even though it is the Simpsons it is the beginning) well you will still be thrilled by this one! The improvements over the first season are as follows:
1.Better animation: Now those are the characters we know and love! By the second season everybody looks normal.
2.Better stories: Contained on these four discs are all of the witty banter, and pure sarcasm you expect from America's first family.
3.More episodes: Instead of 13 you get 22!
4.What more do you need! It's the Simpsons!

If I had one complaint it is that Fox is taking too long to get the seasons out! Come on guys! Speed it up will ya? But anyway! What are you wating for? Season 2!Get out and buy it today! You won't regret it!

Summary: If you haven't seen these...didn't miss much in this season.
Review: I thought that this season wasn't all around that hilarious. True, the show was at its early stages. If you're looking to collect program's entire collection of seasons, then by all means buy this one. But please don't buy this one just to see theses episodes. They weren't all that fun to watch with kids, as were the other later seasons.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: From cartoon to national symbol
Review: This is the season when The Simpsons really came into its own as a show. The character development really began, as we were introduced to so many of the most important ones. The animation was much cleaner, and the storylines were more developed. One of my all-time favorite episodes is here, Lisa's Substitute (guest starring Dustin Hoffman). I think this is really the point in the show when people realized the Simpsons were no no flash in the pan, and its the reason they are still around today. The commentary on the episodes is great as well, and the extras in general are very creative. If you're a diehard Simpsons fan, you have probably already bought this. If you're only a casual fan, buying this will turn you into a hardcore one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exxx-cellent!
Review: Syndicated re-runs of "The Simpsons" are incomplete--scenes have been hacked out to make room for more commercials. Broadcasters squash the closing credits and run noisy promos over the closing music--sometimes killing a final gag or three.

Now, more than ten years after the original broadcasts, the shows of the Simpsons' second season are made whole again.

More than whole, actually. Every episode has an audio commentary track with Matt Groening and some of the other creators of the series. They explain some of the more esoteric jokes, and point out funny signs as the camera sweeps past them. They tell about the Fox network's decision to schedule The Simpsons opposite Bill Cosby's hit sitcom. Some tales are told more than once. Sometimes everyone just sits and laughs at comedy bits they created more than a decade ago. They're having fun, and it's catching.

This DVD collection also pulls together ephemera that might otherwise have been lost forever: the Simpsons as presenters at the Emmy Awards; a foam-rubber Bart at the American Music Awards; music videos, Butterfinger commercials, and more.

The animation on two of the Butterfinger commercials seems a bit washed-out. Everything else on the disk looks and sounds great.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simpson mania.
Review: The Simsns Complete second season is a great value. It comes, complete with every single second season episode with a short commentary for each one. Get reunited with America's favorte family. The second season is much better than the first. Here are the episodes...

Bart gets an F.

Simpson and Delilah

Treehouse of horror

Two cars in every garage three eyes on every fish


Dancing Homer and much much more.

So i would definetly reccomend this set. Essential for Simson fans.

Summary: May have been The Simpsons' finest season
Review: This is a great collection of the finest of the Simpsons' episodes. The extras here are funny and insightful.

I'd never seen the Simpsons' music videos. The music is pretty stupid, but the animation is surprising and humorous. A great purchase!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Simpsons DVD [is weak]
Review: This is the wost value on the planet good shows but they're not worth [the price]...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Gets Better! More Extras and Commentary
Review: This one has a more streamlined style of animation. In this set each episode gets commentary by all main creators and writers. You get videos with the Bartman and more on the making of the show. The creators mentioned when the show was put on Thursday's instead of Sundays it almost sidetracked the show for a long time going against Bill Cosby. Little did they know that all these years later they would still be going strong. Simpsons forever. I hope they go to season twenty.
