Summary: The Simpsons, what more needs to be said?
Review: The second season of the Simpsons is finally available in it's crudely produced, and not-yet-fine-tuned glory. Although the series didn't become essential until the third season, you can start to see the new and often ground-breaking directions that the Simpsons would eventually go.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Could "The Simpsons" Get Less Than 5 Stars?
Review: Alright, I will admit the title of this review is a bit presumptuous. However, after watching the episodes in the DVD set, viewers will all agree that any collection of Simpsons episodes can not be given less than five stars.

You may ask, "Why is this?" And that is a good question.

Season II has many classic episodes which really have defined the show.
There is "Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish" which works very well at exposing the character of Mr. Burns.

Also, the past of Marge and Homer is revealed in "The Way We Was".
This season was also the beginning of the yearly "Treehouse of Horror". Most notable in this episode is probably the very well-done parody of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven".

Even in its early years (the Second Season, in this case), the episodes of the show are filled with multiple levels of humor. Actually, these older episodes are a breath of fresh air compared to some (not all) of the jokes from the newest episodes. You find more often in these episodes jokes which span all generations because they are so well written.

Finally, each episode has moments which are classic and memorable simply because they occured so early in the show's history. These are the great memories from "The Simpsons" because they are our first memories. If you haven't seen these episodes, I suggest that you do, so you may have these memories too. For those of you who have seen Season II, I suggest that you buy it, for who doesn't want to remember these classic episodes?

Summary: SEASON 2 RULEZ!!!!
Review: I love this T.V. show, "The Simpsons" and have been watching it on FOX since I was just a kid. I'm now 17, and I still enjoy it's characters and humor! Now I can finally get all my fav episodes on DVD considering that the creator, Matt Groening will be releasing all of them! Season two here, is obviously better than the first, and includes two Bartman music vids & three butterfinger commercials as a BONUS!!! All eps themselves were released from 1990-91 and include:

Summary: The Simpsons Rule!
Review: This is the best that DVD has offered as of yet! The Simpsons always Rule, Matt Groening ( the creator ) knows just what to say and when to say it. Kudos to him and the Entire Simpsons Crew. These Cartoons rock, I cant wait for the next Set!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The show settles in to consistent bursts of brilliance!!
Review: There are many other excellent episode by episode summaries here already, so I won't go down that road. I simply want to add my support for these episodes.

The first season of the Simpsons was, of course, very, very funny, but often uneven. The characters were cruder (not just crudely drawn), and hadn't yet found the balance of slapstick and sentimentality that became the hallmark of the show. I highly recommend season one (it's still better than 99% of anything else out there), but with season two, the show begins quite strongly to demonstrate that it can and will dish out ALL kinds of humor, often within one scene (or one line!). You get satire, irony, slapstick, farce, romantic comedy, verbal humor, scatalogical humor, and more. The Simpsons began to show on a regular basis that animation could cross more lines and chop down more icons per minute than any other medium. The creators really began to take advantage of the freedom they had.

And quite simply, it's just so .... funny! What more, really, do you need. Isn't one laugh every 10 seconds enough reason?!

If you can only afford one DVD box set, get this one. It'll entertain you and your friends for years!!

Summary: MATT GROENING ROCKS
Review: The Simpsons is simply my favorite comedy - just the break you need when all other television is about war and violence.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Memorable Seoson
Review: This was my favorite seoson of The Simpsons. Bart dies, Homer jumps the Springfeild Gorge, Marge cancels Itchy and Scratchy, Bart Milhouse and Martin buy Radioactive Man #1, and Wow, what a great seoson! WOW! WOW! WOW! WHAT A GREAT SEOSON! Michael Jackson! He might have touched a few children, but COMMOON! It's Michael Jackson! Buy the way did I mention that this was one great seoson! WOW! WOW! WHAT A GREAT SEOSN IT WAS! It may have touched a few children but it's Michael Jackson!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dis is da'bomb
Review: I am a huge Simpson fanatic and I love this set of Dvds. The 4 disc of almost entirely filled footage. The little booklet telling you a brief history of the show and what disc it is on. The only thing wrong is the limited amount of extra features on the 4th disc. Don't forget to say you want the third season!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Before the show began to sink
Review: The program review-- The second season of the Simpsons, is not the best season, but certainly is better than the first season and MUCH better than any Simpsons' season after the 8th season.

Like the first season, you can see the social sarcasm about the "American Way-of-Life"; in this season, you can see a better character development than the fisrt, for example, in this season appears a "Not so stupid" Homer (and i like this Homer more than the Today Homer), Marge is, well, the same Marge, Lisa became the most deep character of all the family, Bart is the same Bart (but who would want to see him changed??).

Here you find a bunch of great stories and a better animation than the first season.

The DVD review-- I recommend the Season Set in region 4 over the region 1, because the region 4 have everything from the region 1 (except perhaps the little booklet), plus the Spanish and Portuguesse audio track, then if you like the Mexican-Spanish version of the Simpsons, then buy it in Region 4.

I would like that in this collection appeared the "Intel" commercial, but i guess the Fox guys are keeping it for another season set.

If you're a classic Simpsons fan (like me), you will love this set

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Quoth The Raven...
Review: Years of Simpsons in syndication cannot compete with this DVD set. All of these episodes collected are in their pristine, uncut form. At last we get to see all the cast off scenes and hear those famous quotes that were deleted when the syndication butchers got their grubby little mitts on their prints of America's favorite animated family. The price of the DVD set is worth it to finally hear "Quoth the raven, 'eat my shorts'," a milk-out-the-nose moment tragically absent in the syndicated version. I eagerly await the third season...and those to follow.
