Summary: WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS?
Review: We have such picky people on this review list. So you can't watch all of the episodes in one stream. Who cares? You guys are giving this DVD a bad review because of something stupid and little like that? Can you say lazy? I think that this is a really cool DVD. I don't know why everybody has bad opinions about the old episodes of "The Simpsons". I don't see them as old. I see them as classics. b/c that is what they are. I love the old episodes, and this is a really good DVD to own. The Simpons episodes are dying down now and it is really cool to see the show progress into the hilarious comedy that it once was. I reccomend to anyone who loves "The Simpsons", and that don't care about stupid technical abilites, such as watching the episodes non-stop.

Summary: Simply The Best
Review: This is absolutely the best idea since Squeeze Cheese. These episodes look and sound great. The commentaries are loose and witty unlike some commentaries that can drone on and be extremely dry. The extras on Disc 3 really let you see the effort and creativity that is put into what I consider as one of the 3 best shows ever on TV. I do have one caveat. If you have recently become a fan of the Simpsons, say in the last season or two, these episodes will feel strained and life less. That isn't to say that they aren't enjoyable, but they are done with quite a different tone. The commentaries can alleviate some of this by explaining the different creative goals many of the first episodes had. If you have ever quoted a Simpsons character, this set is for you.

Summary: Excelente comienzo para esta esperada colección
Review: Una edición de lujo, con todos los personajes en sus dibujos originales. Para los fanáticos y coleccionistas. Tal vez para aquellos que están acostumbrados a ver los personajes dibujados en sus versiones más actuales les puede parecer que los de esta colección son menos graciosos, en especial Homero, y tal vez sea cierto, es por eso que veo en esta excelente edición una colección más interesante para los fanáticos que han seguido a esta increíble familia desde sus comienzos.

Summary: No Effort
Review: I love the Simpsons, and it pains me to give this DVD a bad rating but, it is the worst DVD ever. It is just poorly made and manufactured. I now that on many sets that the first disc does not function properly. Furthermore, the commentary and special sections are done poorely, especially interms of the balance between commentary and episode volume. i just think for a 30 dollar DVD, they could of paid more attention to details.

Summary: Thanks for the Memories - But There's Not Much Else
Review: After spending the past 12 years of my life as a die-hard Simpsons fanatic, there was little I could do to resist this DVD package. This release provides all the episodes of the first season, which was actually a partial season of 13 episodes. This is the first of the projected series that will collect for us every season of the Simpsons' run, and I hope they come out fast. I agree with most fanatics that the show was still warming up during the first season (the show was truly invincible in seasons 3-7), as the animation was crude, and the voice actors were still developing their characters. This is especially true of Nancy Cartwright as Bart and Dan Castelleneta as Homer, as they were both still nailing down the nuances and subtleties of the two Simpson men. But the story lines in the first season were already stellar and fully developed, and were instantly more subversive and intelligent than any other show on TV. But there are a few disappointing aspects of this package. There seems to have been some confusion over whether the Tracey Ullman shorts would be included - they're not, even though there's room for them. The "extras" are not really worth the effort, consisting only of some non-breathtaking outtakes, short clips in foreign languages, and a so-called documentary on the making of the show that is merely a snippet from a British newsmagazine. These extras seem like they're only there because a producer decided that you're supposed to include a "bonus" on a DVD. And this package certainly does not need to be on three discs. What's here could fit on two discs easily. So when the rest of this series starts to come out, they can probably dispense with the extras. A legion of collectors will surely pop up who will be more than happy to have all the original episodes in their hands. This first season installment is a good start.

Summary: It's About Time!
Review: It's not every day you run accross someting that can be enjoyed to it's fullest, But when The Simpsons hit the fox network with there own show, history was in the making. I have spent many a sunday growing up with the disfunctional family and enjoyed every episode. When they came out on video I was happy but they wouldn't include the complete seasons! Only snipets of each season which the company thought out shined the rest. Now finally you can own the complete first season including the very first christmas special, once only available on video tape. I like the added stuff that shows how they made some of the episodes. I hope when the get around to releasing season 2 that they include more tracy ulmen show episodes. If you haven't bought this what are you doing reading this ORDER NOW!!!! every episode is enjoyable to the fullest. So sit back and enjoy!

Summary: The Complete First Season! :)
Review: The Simpsons First Season DVD is a great introduction into the old days of the show. The animation wasn't as up to par as it is now, but it is not a problem at all. It is enjoyable to see how much the Simpsons have evolved since their first about twenty-three minuete episode special: "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire". This DVD also includes commentary from the creators, never before seen outtakes from an unaired version of "Some Enchanted Evening" with optional commentary, Albert Brooks outtakes from "Life on the Fast Lane", and more! You will also see the first appearances and introductions of such characters as Mr. Smithers, Mr. Burns, Patty and Selma, and Sideshow Bob. Although some Simpsons fans may think it the first thirteen episodes are not quite the same as the newer seasons, I believe it is just as funny, and is a must-see for every fan of The Simpsons.

Summary: constructive criticism
Review: (...) I think there should be a method whereby I could make one episode play followed hard upon by the next without going back to the menus so it can play in one stream like the many videotapes of the simpsons that I've made... maybe I could learn to program my dvd player to do so for me but let's face it... most people are just as lazy and or stupid as homer simpson and can't be bothered. Lastly... why three disc for just 13 episodes (or as I've loosely calculated 280 minutes or almost 4 hours 40 minutes). There's no way of convincing me that one of these discs could not have been eliminated. I would like to think that maybe this is just establishing a three disc precedent for later, more complete seasons but I'm sure that's not the case... (...)

Summary: "...worst episode EVER!"
Review: Well, most Simpsons fans should love this DVD set. The crude first season animation and voices, among other nuances such as the color of character's clothing and household items make the first season a classic. The three disks contain tons of information and wierd features.
