Summary: Awesome Box Set
Review: As a lifelong Simpsons fan it is great to have every show from a season. The quality is terrific and the packaging is very nice. If anyone from FOX is listening, please release entire seasons of King of the Hill!...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Must Buy DVD Set
Review: I will not bore you with details. This is a must buy DVD set for any Simpsons fan. It contains many hidden "easter eggs" (I'm still searching for more). Plus it has the "Do the Bartman" Video, Simpons at the Emmy's, Comentaries on every episode, ButterFinger commercials and much, much more. If you like the Simpsons you will love this season. So get up and run, don't walk, get your credit card and order this now. What are you waiting for? Go, go, go!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Even Better Than Season One!
Review: As a Simpsons nut I was so excited to buy this set. My favorite Simpsons episode ever is "Bart Verses Thanksgiving" so I was thrilled to find it a part of the set, since I didn't know when it had been aired before. Also, it has twice as many episodes as the first set but only costs a couple dollars more, so you get more Simpsons for your buck. My only complaint is the DVD menus make you wait too long between screens to actualy get around to seeing the show. Less spinning, more Simpsons, please.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simpson's is great!
Review: Exactly like the whole second season of episodes. Second season rocks!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Excellent! Very Pleased, but a couple of beefs...
Review: No. 1- I don't know if this happened to anyone else, but for me, music sometimes sounds muted. For example: When Homer is singing to Steve Miller, the entire volume of the DVD seems to go down for no reason. It happens whenever someone sings over a musical track.

No. 2- I like everyone else was disappointed to see edits from the original shows. It is cool to see some new scenes as well though, which aren't normally on the TV versions.

I think the special features were adequate. After all, they have to save some for the next 12 seasons. Commentaries were adequate, but Season 1s were better. I've heard a helluva lot worse, and the group commentary makes it seem like you are watching the show with some of your buddies.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Yellow Fever
Review: The DVD collection of the complete second season of the riotous animated TV series "The Simpsons" is a handsomely produced set containing twenty-four episodes and a myriad of special features such as audio commentary, music videos, Butterfinger commercials and much more. The beginning of the season still appears a bit rough around the edges, and the characters (with the exception of Bart and Lisa) still feel a trace underdeveloped, but by the end of the show's second-year run, these episodes are virtually indistinguishable from the ones being made today. The optional audio commentary available on each episode is intermittently informative, but contains more than a few dead spots. That's quibbling, though, because any Simpsons fan worth their salt shouldn't be without this wonderful set. All of the episodes are complete and un-cut, which alone makes this a must-buy when you consider that these shows are routinely hacked apart in syndication to make way for more commercials.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: soft and yielding like a nerfball
Review: As the 'lame' quotient steadily increases with each new Simpson's episode, it's refreshing to go back to the 'good ol' days' where character development still existed. If you haven't seen these episodes by now, then (insert patronising phrase here).

As many reviewers have already outlined the episodes, the bonus features, and the advantages of owning the DVD, I should probably point out the reasons not to have it.

- The increased DVD picture quality is not essential to watching The Simpsons. The drawings were still slightly crude during the 2nd season (this is not exactly Akira).

- Wherever you live, it is highly likely Simpsons episodes are being rerun/rebroadcast, and hence you're likely to catch the same episodes on TV.

- "Do The Bartman" wasn't funny then, and isn't now.

- You and all your friends have seen these episodes numerous times, and use Simpsons quotes in everyday life.

- Is it really necessary to know every little Simpson's fact?

So, you make up your own mind. Buy this, and it you may constantly have it playing in your DVD player. "But...for how long???".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Homerific
Review: I highly recommend this piece of pop-culture to anyone who wants to laugh, be sarcastic, and generally understand what was going on in the early 90's in the United States. Never before has a cartoon impacted a society like the Simpson's. This DVD sets up well and is easy to navigate. Pick your favorite episode from the second season and sit back and enjoy. This DVD will not let you stop laughing. The episode "Dancing Homer" is a classic, along with "Bart gets an F." This DVD takes you back to the second season, where Homer's voice is made-over to be the Homerific voice you know and love. This season also was really edgy especially with some of the role-players like Lenny. I am hooked on this series, and will buy the Third Season as soon as it comes out. You won't go wrong with this DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pass the popcorn and coke
Review: This is a must have for any die-hard fans of The Simpsons (well, you're hardly going to spend good money on something you don't like).
All 22 episodes from the second season are here for your viewing pleasure, and there are many classic moments in these episodes. Such as Bart and Lisa learning about 'hell' and Bart repeatedly saying the word 'hell', Bart praying to God for help in passing a History test. Oh, come now. You should know them all!
Just what you need for those depressing rainy days, along with a HUUUGGGEEE bowl of salty snacks (preferably popcorn) and a whole lotta soft drink.
