Rating: Summary: Loved it... Review: I received an advance copy of this dvd and have several others. It was excellent. Sound and picture was great. Extras added to it. Worth the money.
Rating: Summary: yes this is great Review: It's really 5 stars ...I just want to get your attention. Does anyone remember when the first season was released last September and we were told season 2 would be out before Christmas and that Fox would subsequently release 2 to 3 seasons a year for the next several years? Anyone? I was looking forward to having the first 5 sesaons of this on DVD by the end of this year. This set was originally due in June, then July and now it's early August...nearly a full year later. What gives? Do they think the demand isnt there? That people arent willing to drop 40 bucks every quarter to get this on DVD. At this rate, the 13th season which is drawing to a close as I type this, won't be on DVD until 2013. Good Lord, let's get a move on. It certainly can't be the "extra features" slowing down production can it? Does anyone else remember pre-ordering season 1 last summer and reading right here at Amazon that it would include ALL of the Tracey Ullman shorts? Not one lousy one that you've seen 50 times on the clip shows? Anyone? From one Simpsons [fan] to another, all I can say is I'm pretty disappointed at the lack of features and the snail's pace at which these are being released. And whats up with Futurama...They're available in Europe on DVD. Anyone out there from Fox with an explanation or rebuttal or something?

Rating: Summary: Best DVD ever Review: Of course, I have not gotten a hold of this DVD, but I have gotten some facts about it... This DVD includes ALL of the Season 2 episodes (22 in all!), and it is, in my opinion, a great season. It's really when the Simpsons started to gain its style. Plus there were many "Firsts" in the second season that are almost in every episode. Such as; the first appearance of Professor Frink and Hans Moleman, the first time Homer argues with his own brain, the very first Treehouse Of Horror, and many more. Below I have made a list of the episodes and put in a brief description to hopefully remind you of these great episodes. The episodes include: "Bart Gets An F" When Bart discovers he might be held back, he makes a deal with Martin to help his grades. "Simpson And Delilah" Homer scams his employer's health insurance to afford a million dollar hair growth formula. "Treehouse Of Horror I" Bart and Lisa tell each other scary stories in the treehouse while Homer eavesdrops. "Two Cars In Every Garage And Three Eyes On Every Fish" When Bart and Lisa find a 3-eyed-fish in the river the nuclear plant is dumping waste into, it threatens Mr. Burns. "Dancin' Homer" Burns buys Homer a few rounds at the baseball game which drunkens up Homer, so Homer dances(tries to) to liven up the team and audience. "Dead Putting Society" Homer and Flanders make a bet to see if their son can beat one another in miniature golf. "Bart Vs. Thanksgiving" After Bart destroys Lisa's Thanksgiving centerpiece, he runs away from home. "Bart The Daredevil" After Bart sees the monster truck show, he starts trying his own daredevil stunts, including jumping Springfield Gorge. "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge" Marge tries to tone down the violence on a popular cartoon show. "Bart Gets Hit By A Car" After a Mr. Burns' car hits Bart, Homer wants to sue Burns, but they will only win if they lie on stand. "One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish" After Homer eats a poisonous blowfish and only has 24 hours to live, he tries to make the best of the rest of his life. "The Way We Was" Homer and Marge flashback to the time they met(prom), and tell their story to the kids. "Homer Vs. Lisa And The 8th Commandment" When Homer steals cable, Lisa believes it is against the 8th commandment, and will have no part in it. "Principal Charming" Principal Skinner dates one of Marge's sisters. "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" When Homer meets his long lost half brother that is a multimillionaire, his brother gives him a chance at designing his own dream car. "Bart's Dog Gets An F" In an effort to keep the family dog in the house, Bart takes Santa's Little Helper to the dog training school. "Old Money" Grandpa finds a new love, Beatrice. "Brush With Greatness" Marge discovers a true talent for herself in painting. "Lisa's Substitute" When Lisa's teacher becomes sick, a substitute comes in, and its the teacher of Lisa's dreams. "The War Of The Simpsons" To help improve their marriage, Marge signs up herself and Homer for marriage counseling. "Three Men And A Comic Book" Bart, Martin, and Millhouse fight over the true owner of a rare Radioactive Man comic book. "Blood Feud" When Burns needs a certain blood type to stay alive, they discover Bart has the perfect type. For my rating, I have seen all of season 2, and almost every single episode, so trust me, your not wasting your money. The season itself earns 5 stars, but with the extras and the great DVD quality, it only gets better. The episodes alone are worth the money, but the bonus material is more for your money! It would be nice to see some better DVD menus but I'm guessing the menus are going to remain the same it was before. The first DVD has crystal clear quality, this DVD will too, it's just so nice to look at, without those channel logos all over the screen. The extras will be great. The commentary is very informative and entertaining. The price may seem a little steep, but take a look at what you're getting, a WHOLE season of possibly the greatest show on television! All Simpsons fans will get a hold of this DVD, I have the First Season, and there's nothing better than being able to watch The Simpsons anytime you want in your own home. I myself cannot wait until this summer, and neither can any other Simpsons fan. This, and the next upcoming seasons are really where the good "Classic Simpsons" are, any Simpson fan would agree. If we're lucky, I wouldn't be surprised to see the 3rd season out by the end of the year. I would recommend buying the first season as well just so you know the excellent quality your getting. Pre-order or buy as soon as possible because this is the one DVD you do not want to miss out on!
Rating: Summary: This Cromulent DVD set will embiggen anyone Review: Great season. I'm looking forward to see the parts cut out by syndication. I'll be sure to buy every season untill the dreaded past few years, but season 2 marks the beginning of the real golden age of this wacky family.
Rating: Summary: For the last time, SHAVE THOSE SIDEBURNS! Review: Simpsons purists will hate me for this, but while there really is no bad Simpsons episode, the real fun started with Season 3 (with such classics as Bart the Murderer and Like Father, like Clown). Season 3 is where you feel the characters finally solidify into their current state - especially Homer. He's no longer just an stupid ape-like loser - now he's a loveable oaf. Seasons 1 and 2 are an integral part of the Simpsons and as such are priceless. However, Season 3 should be credited for breathing character into the Simpsons themselves.
Rating: Summary: Woo hoo!!!!!!!! Review: I have been an avid viewer of The Simpsons from the last 3 years and I must say that they are the greatest animated tv show ever!!! Consisting of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie, along with the citizens of Springfield, we can now look forward to the adventures of this hilarious disfunction family on this cool season 2 box set. This collector's edition of the season 2 dvd will consist of 22 episodes, which are : - Bart Gets An F - Simpson and Delilah - The Simpson's Halloween Special: Tree House of Horror - Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish - Dancin' Homer - Dead Putting Society - Bart vs. Thanksgiving - Bart the Daredevil - Itchy and Scratchy and Marge - Bart Gets Hit By a Car - One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish - The Way We Was - Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment - Principal Charming - Oh, Brother, Where Are Thou? - Bart's Dog Gets an F - Old Money - Brush With Greatness - Lisa's Substitute - The War of the Simpsons - Blood Feud To be honest with you, I havent seen any of the episodes of this season. I own the complete season 1 of the series on dvd and have most of the episodes taped of season 5,6,7,10,11 and the current season 12, which are equally excellent; but I have the simpsons episode guide containing information on seasons 1-7 and the episodes are fabulous!!! It seems that the character drawings in season 2 will be as weird as that of the first season, probably a little better, since the show was still pretty new. The drawings get much better from season 3 onwards. This is a must buy for all simpsons fan, since not only will you get all the episodes from season 2, but there are a LOT of additional features on this dvd, unlike that of season 1 which contained some features. To tell you the truth, they could have added a lot of other additional features on the season 1 dvd if they hadnt occupied so much space on the french and german dolby surround system ( they could have simply added the subtitles or something and put in some extra footage or something of that kind. ) All in all, from the special features listed, this is a great item to purchase, whether or not you know of the Simpsons! Pre order it now and please dont delay the release date any further FOX!
Rating: Summary: I agree, it would be better if a spanish track was added Review: This show is even funnier in spanish. I don't remeber the quote, but in the lisa is a vegetarian episode they translate the "you don't win friends with salad" song to an even better song that rhymes! Currently the dvds carry french and english. FRENCH? The hispanic population in the U.S. is huge. I am sure the french additon is for Canada mostly but while they are at it toss in the spanish tracks.
Rating: Summary: It's the Simpsons, of course it's great Review: This is worth owning just to see where it all began. I actually consider this first season my least favorite. The animation is strange compared to what it evolved into. The characters seem like strangers. I mean, come on, HOMER is the one who sells the TV and takes the family in for counseling while Marge protests? Anyone watching the series this long must know that's like a Springfield in a different dimension. But seeing where it all begins makes you appreciate the show's evolution all the more. Obviously good enough never was for the creative team of the Simpsons. The packaging and extras on these DVD's (priced very reasonably in my opinion) make this set worth owning. You get to see all the opening chalkboard and couch gags, and no 'syndication' editing to worry about. I intend to buy the whole library. Of all the shows that are worth owning and can be watched over and over (there's always something you missed)this one is worth it.
Rating: Summary: It would be perfect if it had a Spanish track Review: I hope the publishers are reading this. The Simpson's is and will always be one of the greates shows EVER created. This DVD series has a terrible flaw....it does not have a Spanish Laguage track. That is a mjor omission since there are millions of viewers who love the show in spanish better than the one in English. Really....the translation to Spanish is so incredibly funny that, to us Spanish speakers, it is even better than the original English version. I hope in future releases they take into account this.
