Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The start of something good
Review: I've been salivating over the idea of having episodes of The Simpsons on DVD for a very long time, and now that it's here, I have no idea what to do with myself. I've relived the first season of this landmark show several hundred times, and while the animation is rather crude in the early seasons, I still find myself loving the show. This season also exhibits what a drastic change the humor of the show has taken over the years (the "Homer keeps getting dumber" effect). I've been looking through my episode logs, and each successive season proves to be even more promising than the last. Joy of joys!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Buy it only if you can't live without it
Review: This is the complete first Simpsons season, and it shows. The animation is comical at times, the voice work is cheesy, and the storylines are not nearly as funny as later seasons. If you are not a die hard Simpsons fan I would wait until later seasons become available as they are far superior to this one.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Technical Errors Abound!
Review: This DVD would be great if not for all of the technical gliches. The DVD's freeze, cause disc read errors, garble the sound and picture, and absolutely ruin what should have been my favorite DVDs. Fox owes everyone who bought this their money back. They should issue a recall. Do not buy this DVD set.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must have for Simpsons lovers...
Review: It is finally here, a collection of Simpsons episodes on DVD. This collection is from the very first season of the Simpsons on Fox. For those of you that forget, this is when the series was based more on Bart and when there were far fewer characters. Be warned that most of your Springfield friends look and sound slightly different than what they have evolved into today. The fact is that these are some of the funniest episodes ever made and they will be sure to make you laugh over and over. I strongly recomend this set to all Simpsons fans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent use of the medium...can't wait for more!
Review: I got this as a Christmas gift and it came in handy when I got the flu the week after. This DVD collection is a long time coming for Simpson fans who have been relegated to sparce VHS offerings. This collects the entire first season and has many cool additional features which put your DVD player to good use. I watched the episodes and then watched them again with the commentary, which was great. The commentators were funny and gave lots of interesting nuggets about the show. The interface is great and the other extras make it a pleasure to have. The packaging was obviously given great thought. I can't wait for the next one!

This is a MUST for any Simpsons or DVD fan. Pick it up today!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Start for the many sets to come
Review: The Simpsons has been heralded over the years as one of TV's most satirical and subversive programs ever aired. Now DVD and Simpsons obsessives can own the first season of this brilliant show. These first 13 episodes were a somewhat rocky start for The Simpsons but it's evolution is evident. The picture quality is very good while the audio is great. This DVD includes a 5.1 and DD 2.0 track. The supplemental features are sure to please Simpson devotees with audio commentary by Matt Groening and the rest of the gang for each episode. The packaging is also great. This box set will leave fans wanting more season sets in the future. I give this excellent set a 9 our of 10.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Heaven! My favorite show on DVD!
Review: I thought I would give in to mob mentality and post my review of this absolutely fantastic Simpsons Complete First Season on DVD. Of course this is just the first of hopefully many wonderful doses of America's most unique family on DVD, and I know it will only get better as years of pure enjoyment follow. I think this will help the Simpsons live on for decades after they finally (but not happily) decide to leave the air. This is positively a necessity for any fan of exceptional television.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: excellent buy
Review: Everyone I have told that I bought this instantly says oh is that when the Simpsons look weird and sound funny. My reply is yes. Although not their best season graphically they are still hilarious whether they look a little odd or not. You can't beat 6 hour of the Simpsons for thirty dollars!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simpsons At Its Best
Review: The Simpsons are great - no big debate there. But what's so special about this DVD set? On the first DVD you can see the actual marked-up copy of two of the scripts from the first season - very cool indeed. Also, each episode has a separate audio track that has the directors, producers, and sometimes Matt Groening himself discussing the episode. It's really fun to watch the episode, then go back and watch it again while listening to the commentary. They point out mistakes they made, indicate where they hadn't yet finalized the exact layout of the house, mention some of the issues around character development, and make fun of themselves.

The episodes themselves are some of the best. We just loved "There's No Disgrace Like Home" - I'd say it's one of the defining moments in cartoon television history.

Finally, the packaging is cool, too - an excellent addition to your DVD collection.
