Summary: Pop Culture & the American Family
Review: I realize there are people who don't like the Simpsons-- one of my best friends (and I forgive her for this) hates them. ... But the Simpsons are a popular culture phenomenon-- where else would you get jokes that combine what we know about our world today with smart satire, social commentary, metaphoric brilliance and pure belly laughs? ... (If you read GREAT LITERATURE you'll find the same thing, just cleverly disguised by the English teachers who don't let you in on the joke because they don't want to tell you it's always been this way). People generally like belches & fart jokes better than they like witty commentary on the social condition of the middle class. But every now and then, something comes along that has both... thus, I give you, the SIMPSONS!...

However-- the Simpsons has all this stuff. Watch them-- own the whole darn collection. Some of these you don't get to see on TV. The Halloween episodes themselves are worth buying every DVD that ever comes out. Even if you don't think you're really a Simpsons fan, you ought to at least give them a chance to prove that it's not just about Bart-- Homer is the Everyman of the 20th & 21st century, Marge makes [TV homemakers] look like a mere beginner, and Lisa-- ah, poor brainy girl.

Treat yourself.

Summary: Season Two is a Wonderful Highlight in the Simpsons Series.
Review: Well, I have to admit that a lot of people don't care for the first two seasons due to the fact that they think that the animation isn't as great as it was from season three on, and that the stories weren't as good as they would become, However, I see Season two differently than most people. I admit season one was rocky, but every new series is, but season two, I feel, was the Simpsons at some of their best. The animation is pretty much there, and I actually like the stories where there is actually some type of Plot and a good message that comes out of it, and just about all of the episodes in Season two were like that, it had its fun sarcastic humor and knocks at people and groups, but they had cute little phrases and one liners that were just wonderful. My favorite is from "Bart the Daredevil" at the very end, Homer is in the hospital in a full body cast next to the daredevil that Bart idols, and Homer tells him "You think your Job is dangerous, try raising my kids". I love that. It is cute and funny. The simpsons now in their 13th season are still strong, but they have resorted to very low tasteless, sexual humore that I, myself, don't find very funny. It is nice to have these "Classics" to go back to and watch over and over. Buy the set, you will love it.

Summary: Must have
Review: As Groening continues to churn out episode after episode, season after season, we see less and less re-runs of these classic second season episodes. So the dvd is well worth the money and will satisfy until dvds are replaced by the next generation of expensive machines that put pictures on a screen for us.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What can be bad?
Review: I don't have the actual DVDs yet, but these are some really great Simpsons episodes! The first season was okay, and they were really spiffed up on DVD. I will watch The Simpsons any time that I can, but the first season gets boring fast. the second season has some really good episodes I never caught the first time around, being a Simpsons fan for only a couple years now, but thank God for syndication! The only things that could make this better would be:

1. It had a coupon for a lifetime supply of 100 Grand bars and Mountain Dew: Code Red
2. It had a large sum of money in it
3. They packed in the episode where the Simpsons go to Tokyo

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Season 2 at long last
Review: X Files came out first. WRONG, It shoulda been the Simpsons that started the DVD TV Show revolution. X Files is on season 5, with 4 more to go. Simpsons is on season 2 with 11 more to go. NOT to mention 2 more seasons left to be done before contracts are up. A possible movie may happen, and we hafta sit here while they pain stakingly give us one season a year. HELLO! The features better be worth it, they sure weren't for the first DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A wonderfulseason to be shared by all
Review: I thouroughly enjoyed this season of the simpsons. I loved every episode and the extra features were brilliant of Matt Groenings' part. overall, I think that there just isn't enough space here for me to tell you what I thought about this season.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: from a hardcore Simpsons fan
Review: The season as a whole I only give three stars. The shows are good at the beginning but sink into mediocraty near the end. This is definitely a better season than the first one. The jokes are better and the animation a little more secure. Many refer to season three as a "turning point," but I see season two as the gradual evolution to season three and it's "greatness." The bad episodes near the end are the transition ones where the style isn't quite set. I'd have to say though, my favorite season of all time is season ten, but at this rate I will be lucky to see this on dvd around 2009 or so.
