Summary: IT'S ABOUT TIME!!
Review: When I first received word that this DVD set even existed, I knew it was something I had to own. This set is any Simpsons fan's pipe dream. You have all 13 episodes from the first season (uncut from start to finish). Each episode has optional commentary by creator Matt Groening, James L. Brooks, et al. There are some pretty cool extras included as well such as original scripts, voice outtakes from Albert Brooks, and a brief documentary. Included also is an old Simpsons snippet from The Tracey Ullman show in the late 80's. I was a bit disappointed that they included only one, but perhaps more will be included in future releases......hopefully. I remember back in 1990, I saw a special FOX aired showing how a show was put together from start to finish, including the voice actors in the studio, and even the orchestra which plays the music for the show. I sincerely hope they include this on a future DVD set, because it gives people insight as to how a single Simpsons episode is created. You can't go wrong with this set. It's a small piece of nostalgia from 1989-90 which you'll watch over and over. The only thing I want to know now is............WHEN DOES SEASON 2 COME OUT??? lol

Summary: Not as bad as I remembered
Review: Any self-respecting Simpsons fan will tell you that the show got off the ground slowly. It was only in the magnificent third and fourth seasons that we finally started to see the wonderful psychedelic satire that centered around Homer, instead of a cloying family sitcom that worshipped the cowabunga antics of the precious brat Bart. But this set of DVDs cleans up the picture and the sound, and reminds fans that even the first timid season had some uproarious humor. Now I just have to watch them again and again until season two comes out.

Summary: More "Collector" value than "Entertainment" value...
Review: This is great to finally have the Simpsons on DVD. Personally... I'm really excited about seasons 2, 3, 4 and 5. In this Season 1 set, the episodes don't yet have the fully developed peripheral characters (i.e. Wiggum, Burns, Comic Book Guy, etc) that makes the show TRULY great. But it's still fun to see how the characters developed in the beginning. If it isn't obvious already... I plan on buying each season's DVD set. The commentary on this one is also worth the price of admission. Enjoy!

Summary: The First of Many Great Seasons to Come
Review: Yes, even though this is not the greatest season and the animation is still crude compared to later years, the writing and characters are still witty and touching. This season definitely established who the simpsons are, while at the same time showing things that had been changed, such as Moe's bar and Burns's office. Along with this, for each episode there is the audio commentary of Matt Groening, and while thoroughly explaining what he was going for with the episode, it is also hilarious and great to listen to while watching. The other extras, such as the scripts for some episodes and gallery images, are incredibly fun to read and look at. Even if you are just a small fan of the simpsons, you should buy this set.

Summary: I wanted to rate it 5-star! Really!!
Review: I was reluctant to give this 4 stars. Unfortunately, the 5-star rating I would give The Simpson's for originality, best American satire, and comedy is offset by an average 3-star rating I give the DVD. I think the average DVD user would like the feature of playing all the episodes straight through, if they choose to do it this way. Instead, the ONLY way I can view each episode is to go through an individual intro screen for every one. I don't mind this feature, especially for the extra features, but... I should have a choice. I own a few DVD's that operate this way, but cost much less. Also, I haven't seen the "Commmentary" feature on disc's 2 and 3. I'll continue looking for it, but I sincerely hope my set is not flawed. Otherwise, I'm just glad to have them on DVD. The Simpson's are a must-have for true comedy fans.

Summary: A Must Own DVD For Any Simpson Fan!
Review: This is a great DVD! I went out and bought it (even though it's 39.99, but it was worth it!) It has the first 13 original episodes, Tracy Ullman shorts, a lost episode, out takes, commentary, and much more! A long DVD worth the money!

Summary: Must have the the Simpons fan!
Review: I am a relative newcomer to the Simpsons phenomenon, and I have been trying to catch all of the old episodes. We recently bought this set, and it is great! It includes one of my favorite episodes, Bart is a Genius. This is the one where he switches IQ tests with one of the super smart kids in his class. So everyone ends up thinking that Bart's IQ rivals that of Einstien, and Bart ends up in a special school for gifted children. It's just a great classic episode! It's intersting to watch the older episodes and note some of the differences between the old episodes and the new ones. For instance, a couple of characters have different colored hair. Also, in the Santa's Little Helper one, Ned Flanders decks his house out with over the top Christmas lights. I couldn't help but think that the super religous Flanders would never have a Santa on his roof or abreviate Christmas as Xmas. The liner notes are very helpful, and the extras on the DVD are fun. We haven't explored them all yet, but I look forward to checking the rest of them out. One of the best things about this collection is that it is quite affordable as well.
