Summary: Great episodes, so-so special features
Review: As other reviewers have stated, the third season is where the show really took off, with both the animation and the writing. Some of the best episodes of the show were made in this season. However, the reason why I'm only giving the DVD 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the organization of the DVD. I love the episodes themselves, I love the commentaries, and I love the new couch gags featured in the main menu. My only complaint is with the special features.The DVDs for the previous two seasons had the special features grouped together, usually on the last disk. I liked this because they were easier to find and view. The third season DVD is different in that there is a Special Features menu for each episode. It usually just has the option to play the commentary or not (this option was in the Language Selections menu on earlier DVDs). A few episodes contained Scene Specific Sketches. However, I didn't like this feature because you don't know when in the episode they will appear. You have to watch the episode carefully for a pencil icon to appear on the screen, and then press Play to see the sketches. This did not work on at least one of the episodes, and you can't have the subtitles turned on at the same time, either. I think it would have been better to have a separate slide show of all of these sketches grouped together. I also would have liked to see more featurettes and interviews with the staff (i.e. Matt Groening, producers, directors, etc.) to learn more about the people who work on the show. There are several Easter Eggs on this DVD, most of which are difficult to find. The following episodes have hidden commentary tracks (two with Mike Reiss, and two with Al Jean): Stark Raving Dad, Lisa's Pony, Bart The Lover, and Separate Vocations. These tracks can be accessed by either going to the episode's Special Features menu and pressing 10 on your remote, or you can start playing the episode and change the Language track to 5/5. Disc 4 contains 13 random sketches that can be accessed by going to the main Special Features menu and pressing 742 on your remote (a different drawing pops up each time you do this). However, there are two other Easter Eggs that I haven't been able to fine yet, the Audio Outtakes and the Baby Translator. If any of you know how to access these features, please post instructions here, as I'm sure there are other fans who need assistance as well. Thanks! Overall, though, this is a wonderful DVD that I encourage every Simpsons fan to get. I just hope that the creators of upcoming Simpsons DVDs will read this, take my comments into account, and make it easier to find and access all of the special features, and have better organization of the menus.

Summary: The Greatest Show in TV History
Review: I have always said, even in the lean years (season 10-13) that a bad Simpsons episode is still better than anything else on television. The 3rd season is a collection of great episodes, and a trove of some of the greatest humor in the history of television. The format of this DVD is fantastic as well as the content. The audio commentary is very entertaining as well. This is a must for any Simpsons fan. You can finally get rid of all those VHS tapes!

Summary: dvdowner is a moron
Review: Dear dvdowner,
Simpsons is one of Television's greatest shows and will remain so for many and many years to come.
You're probably one of those people who loves being miserable, well spare us all because you'll have to look far and wide to find people who feel the way you do.
Poorly drawn huh? Why because they're yellow? Find me a "nicely" drawn cartoon that's not PIXAR and maybe we'll talk, give it up with all your stupid theories on why The Simpsons suck... They're all wrong for one simple reason, THEY DONT SUCK.
Go find somewhere else to complain because we dont want your the negative vibes 'round here. As the great Bart Simpson said many times, "EAT MY SHORTS" Chew on that

Summary: Simpsons Complete Third Season DVD Review!
Review: Wow! What a nostalgic journey this DVD was for me. Upon checking out the third season of "The Simpsons", which is without question, one of my all-time favorite shows, I really got my mind going back to seeing these shows during their first-run on Fox, way back when. By the third season, the show had really started to evolve into quite a hilarious little program. I had not seen a lot of these episodes in years as the syndicated episodes that run on television are often from the newer seasons and boy, did I get a kick out of all them. STARK RAVING DAD- This was the one where Homer got thrown in the insane asylum for wearing a pink shirt. Michael Jackson was the guest voice but he appears billed as "John Jay Smith". The scene with "The Chief" is hilarious. MR. LISA GOES TO WASHINGTON- Another great episode. Lisa writes an essay on America and the family gets to go to Washington. "We the purple? What the hell was that?". WHEN FLANDERS FAILED- Flanders opens up the "Left-Tourium". Not one of the season's better episodes but still good. BART THE MURDERER- Bart bartends for the Mafia and ends up getting put on trial when Principal Skinner turns up missing. The introduction of Fat Tony. A hilarious episode. The trucks outside the Simpson house were one of the biggest laughs when I first saw it. HOMER DEFINED- Homer prevents a nuclear meltdown. Magic Johnson provides the guest voice. LIKE FATHER, LIKE CLOWN- Bart and Lisa try to reunite Krusty with his estranged father. TREEHOUSE OF HORROR II.- The second annual Halloween episode. Bart, Lisa, and Homer all have bad dreams. Halloween episodes are always classics. LISA'S PONY- To make up for messing up Lisa's talent show performance, Homer buys her a pony and as a result, he has to work a second job at the Kwik-E-Mart. Another excellent show. SATURDAYS OF THUNDER- Bart builds a soapbox durby racer with Homer but ends up driving Martin's instead. I could almost swear that they added new footage to this episode because I had the original on an old VHS and there are at least three or four scenes that I don't remember and one where they use completely different dialouge. Check it out for yourself. FLAMING MOE'S- Moe steals Homer's drink idea and becomes a huge success. Aerosmith make a guest appearance. BURNS VERKAUFEN DER KRAFTWERK- Mr. Burns sells the Nuclear Power Plant to the Germans. I MARRIED MARGE- Classic flashback to when Homer married Marge and when Bart was born. Great episode. RADIO BART- At the time, this was the most consistantly funny episode I had seen since the start of the series run. Obviously, I have a new favorite now but back then, this was the funniest episode I had ever seen. My sense of humor has changed a bit since then but this one has somewhat survived the test of time. Bart gets a microphone for his birthday and tricks the town into believing that a boy named "Timmy O'Toole" has fallen down the well. LISA THE GREEK- Lisa helps Homer gamble on football. HOMER ALONE- When Marge has a nervous breakdown, Homer gets stuck taking care of the house. BART THE LOVER- Bart sets his teacher up with an imaginary Romeo. "Three simple words: I AM GAY!". HOMER AT THE BAT- This has to be in my all-time Top Ten. Mr. Burns hires pro baseball players to win a softball game against a rival plant. SEPERATE VOCATIONS- Bart decides that he wants to be a cop while Lisa takes a turn at being the bad seed. DOG OF DEATH- Santa's Little Helper becomes Mr. Burns' guard dog. COLONEL HOMER- Homer becomes the manager of a country music singer. Yet another classic episode. "As much as I hate that man right now, you got to love that suit". BLACK WIDOWER- Sideshow Bob marries Aunt Selma but Bart believes he has evil intentions. THE OTTO SHOW- Otto loses his job as a bus driver and moves in with The Simpsons. Homer's advice to Bart when he realizes he quit playing the guitar had both me and my father laughing hysterically. BART'S FRIEND FALLS IN LOVE- As the title suggests, Milhouse falls in love. The second story with Homer getting a "vocabulary builder" tape instead of a "subliminal weight-loss" one is where the real comedy is at. Marge imagining Homer as a hostage negotiator was one of the big highlights. BROTHER, CAN YOU SPARE TWO DIMES?- Danny DeVito returns as Homer's long lost brother, Herb. There are too many classic Homer moments to name. The third season truly makes the first two look like crap in comparison. The second season had its moments but this is where the show started to realize its full potentiol as the classic animated comedy show it has become.

Summary: only good show on TV
Review: Anyone who says that the Simpsons is a boring show just isn't paying close enough attention. To the average cretin it may seem childish or uninspired, but the Simpsons is in fact a very socially apt show filled with political, literary, and religious allusions. If you still don't believe me, buy the book "The Simpsons and Philosophy."

Summary: The worst show ever....
Review: I don't know which is more patheic. The fact that this terrible written and drawn show has such a huge fan following, or the fact that animation as an artform has taken one hundred steps backward due to the poor style shown here. Maybe both.

Summary: Some great moments, overated and the animation is problemati
Review: Some of the animation is too weak for me. It either needs to be cheap like the earlier Beavis and Butthead or major. But that problems comes and goes. And don't get me wrong there are great moments throughout. Stark Raving Dad has some big moments, Flaming Moes and so on. My problem isn't that there aren't happy endings far from it. It's that all the episodes I have seen so far except Stark Raving Dad are it will never change and we're cooler than you because we realize it and you don't. But what that means is that you have stories that don't really develop a plot. There are funny set-ups and ideas at the start of the stories. Then the problem is introduced. By the conclusion the stories just recycle back to the intial problem in an endless loop which is a headache. Ex. Lisa Goes To Washington. The problem is Politics will never change it will always be a bunch of words hiding fraud. The ending is the same with the punchline that we have to hear the songwriter remind us of this in a cute way so pelt him.
Flaming Moes avoids this problem some as the same position at the end of the story isn't all that bad.
But a lot the stories aren't developed. It's some funny bits but also lowkey cynical and graduate school life is over in a moderate tone and then a recycle of the original problem.
If I'm going animation I'd rather see The Underdog Show, something like a Heckle and Jeckle or Baby Huey before a movie, Rocky and Bullwinkle, South Park or Doug. Doug is cooler. I like some of the bits of The Simpsons but a lot of the Third Season just doesn't do that much for me. I never got to the specials. Stuff like the Son of Sam reference doesn't make me want to see it more. I want the storylines.
