Summary: This is gonna be sweet
Review: First off, the episodes in season 3 are great. Flaming Moe's is one of my all-time favorite episodes, and so is Radio Bart.

I can't believe how most of the people who have reviewed this think that the audio commentary is a waste of time. Once I see an episode in the first and second season, I watch it again to hear what they have to say about it.

Anyway, this DVD is going to be wonderful with great episodes and any true Simpsons fan should buy it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SIMPSONS
Review: The best seasons of the Simpsons were between the 2nd and 7th. All the other ones got progsively worse butcurrently are getting better. The only flaws in this DVD are the fact it took a year to make and that it will have some stupid feature that takes five minutes to actually play an episode. i.e. the spinning heads in the second season. Fox network should stop eing stupid and just release at least two seasons a year. We on't need all those ... features just the episodes!! But the eisodes on the DVD surely deserve five stars so thats my rating!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best of the Best
Review: Season 3 of the Simpsons marks what is probably the high point of the series. As the main reviewer said, this is where it all comes together. In judging comedy, I try to put things in two categories, comedies where what happens on screen is inherently funny, and comedies where what happens is funny due to our familiarity with the characters. In this season these two elements combine seemlessly, as every episode is full of effective satire, slapstick, characterization, and at times even touching moments.

This is the Simpsons I grew up with every week, and the Simpsons I want to remember, not the current Simpsons which has at times degenerated into a slightly better version of Family Guy. Just about all the episodes in this set are among the best in the series, and in fact I still have many of them recorded on VHS from when they first aired.

The best seasons of the Simpsons, such as this, are great for DVD as well because there are so many things you probably won't catch the first, second, or even third time you watch them. Like great movies or music it often gets better with every viewing. So whether you are or aren't a fan of the show thats on now, you should still try to run out and get some of the greatest television ever produced.

Summary: Homer For President
Review: Can't wait for the release. I only wish they would release the seasons quicker!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS SHOW!
Review: EVER SINCE THE 3RD GRADE I HAVE WATCHED THIS SHOW FAITHFULLY. MY ROOM IS A SHRINE (NOT JOKING) AND I EVEN TAPE RERUNS AND KEEP TRACK OF THEM. CALL ME OBSESSED, BUT I THINK THAT THE SIMPSONS IS THE BEST COMEDY WRITING OF ALL TIME. ANYWAY...THESE EPISODES ARE ALL CLASSICS! "STARK RAVING DAD" IS SOOO HILARIOUS. ALONG WITH "FLAMING MOE'S" AND OF COURSE, "RADIO BART".
THESE EPISODES ARE SO GREAT. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO BUY IT...I KNOW I AM GOING TO BE THE FIRST ONE AT THE STORE TO BUY IT ON AUGUST 26TH. I ALSO ENCOURAGE YOU TO WATCH IT ON FOX BECAUSE WITH 14 SUCCESSFUL SEASONS - HOW CAN ANYONE SAY THIS SHOW IS DUMB. BUY IT! WATCH IT!

Summary: What the heck...?
Review: Don't get me wrong, I LOVE THE SIMPSONS!!! But to me, it's just ridiculous how they keep changing the release date for the Season 3 DVD. Yes, this was when everything started getting good with the show and yes, it's twice as funny as Seasons 1 & 2 combined! There are other FOX programs on DVD that are already beyond Season 8 for crying out loud! Why can't they just make it already?! I don't care about the commentary! I just want the episodes! But no! We SHOULD be at the release for the Season 5 DVD by now! But they just HAD to change the date ALL the way to August?! WHY?!!! Why couldn't we just get the release date for July? ... I give the T.V. show 5 stars but ZERO for the DVD due to that this was supposed to be out a long time ago.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hysteical!!
Review: I bought this as a gift for my neigbor recently, and I got one for myself shortly after!! I am a huge fan of the Simpsons, and this left nothing to be desired. Even though I had seen every episode on this DVD at least once, they still left me laughing until I cried. I highly reccomend this DVD to anyone who wants a funny series all to themselves. The commercial-free thing was fantastic, as I despise commercials.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Third Season's a Charm
Review: All cylinders clicked in the third season of The Simpsons which laid the foundation for the show to become the longest running animated comedy in television history. Aside from the fact that the animation became sharper and the voice dubbing became crisper, the script writing came into its own. The characters are better defined, in particular Homer's in-your-face brashness, Lisa's fervor for truth and justice, and Bart's prankster ingenuity are enhanced and the creative storylines of each episode help to serve this purpose. The plot ideas are fresh and not dictated by popular culture as the more recent seasons are. Virtually all twenty-four episodes are works of art but here are some episodes that really stood out amongst the pack and became classics:

Homer Defined: Homer avoids catastrophe when he "eeny-meenie-miny-moed" his way, or as it is coined later on, "pulled or a Homer" to avert a meltdown, therefore saving Springfield from disaster.

Treehouse of Horror II: Lisa, Bart, and Homer eat too much candy and have nightmares. Lisa dreams about a Monkey's Paw which gives its owner four wishes, but with an externality of some shape or form attached to each wish. Bart's nightmare is a "Twilight Zone"-inspired short where Bart possesses the power to change people as he sees fit, forcing everyone around him to be happy or else face the consequences. Last but not least, Homer is fired and he becomes a gravedigger. Mr. Burns finds Homer asleep one night in an open grave and captures him in order to build a perfect robot worker, utilizing Homer's brain.

Flaming Moe's: When Moe's business goes south, Homer attempts to get wasted by concocting his own drink, in which he adds cough syrup in desperation for an extra ingredient and accidentally lights on fire for a racy kick. Moe steals Homer's recipe and his tavern experiences an astronomical business boom.

Radio Bart: When Bart gets a radio microphone for his tenth birthday and after using it to play practical jokes, Bart comes up with a crazy scheme to place his radio transmitter down a well and to pretend to be Timmy O'Toole, a made-up boy trapped down the well. The townspeople are united in accommodating to Timmy, while attempting to free him. But when Bart realizes that he placed a "Property of Bart Simpson" sticker on the transmitter, Bart attempts to retrieve it before he gets into deep trouble and he becomes trapped in the well.

Homer At The Bat: Mr. Burns places a million-dollar bet against his rival owner of the Shelbyville Power Plant that his softball team would become victorious over Shelbyville. Burns hires pro players Roger Clemens, Wade Boggs, Ken Griffey Jr., Don Mattingly, Mike Scioscia, Steve Sax, Ozzie Smith, Jose Canseco, and Darryl Strawberry as employees at the power plant and most importantly as softball players to ensure the victory. But when unusual circumstances hits Burns' major leaguers, save for Strawberry, Burns is forced to play his regular pushovers for the big game.

Separate Vocations: Bart is fascinated with law enforcement, after being encouraged by the result of an aptitude exam called the Career Aptitude Normalizing Test (notoriously known as CANT)and he becomes Principal Skinner's crime-busting hall monitor little sidekick. However, Lisa is discouraged by her own exam result when she finds out she's better off as a homemaker and she takes the place of Bart, as one of the unabiding bad kids at school.

A classic season of episodes, without the FOX promos, in digital video and surround sound quality, with lots of extras and commentary and you can watch them any time. It doesn't get any sweeter than that. A definite must-buy DVD set.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Of course it rocks, it's The Simpsons!
Review: I will keep this review short. Buy this dvd, the show is the best, and the dvds are great. The only problem is that they are coming out too slowly. I am fifteen now and I don't want to be thirty by the time all the seasons are on dvd. Other than that they are perfect additions to anyones dvd collection.
