Summary: i love the simpsons
Review: i love the simpsons. if you do too then you should do yourself a favor and buy this. the reason i did not give it a five star rating was because the dvd extras are a little weak. in the next one they need to include more show art,more clips from the editing room floor, commentary from the creators and from the voices behind the characters.how about some new tracy ulman type clips made just for these dvds with the cast the way it is now .they need to do more to make us love the simpsons all over agian, for the first time.-MMMMMMM the simpsons-thank you

Summary: Homer's Voice Freaks Me Out, but...
Review: Okay...I had forgotten that Homer's voice changed after the first season. It takes some re-adjustment to get past it, but darnit...these are some very fine episodes. They originally aired when I was a senior in college, so they have a bit of sentimental value for me. Highlight's include Bart's Scrabble word "KWIJIBO". Also love Homer shaking his thang with the "exotic" dancer. I, for one, cannot wait for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th...installment of this fine series. Worth every ducat.

Summary: Good except quality could be better
Review: I was a little disappointed in the compression quality. The compression defects are noticeable, especially near on-screen text such as credits, but also throughout. Can't complain about anything else.

Summary: Modern Day Laughs In Progress
Review: Don't get me wrong here; I absolutely LOVE The Simpsons. It is not just rude, crass, and crude family disfunction, but very clever and beguiling satire. It is absolutely the funniest show you'll find on TV that's not just in reruns. However, I say this about most of the series, but not so much emphasis is put on this first season. Yes, you do get to see an interesting development of the show, but the first season, to me, seemed a little out of place. I realize that it's only the first season, but the stories and dialogue seem so out of place. The writers miss plenty of potential gags by making Homer just an average father instead of a completely clueless dope (when HE was recommending the family change its ways and MARGE was getting drunk, I almost cried). Many familiar characters that I love are missing, and I see few jokes that are completely hilarious surprises. That said, Bart is still a maniacal menace, and Lisa is just the same, and the jokes we do get are better than some of the most recent episodes (such as a sentimental Ned Flanders amusement park tale). I say sit back, relax, and enjoy the DVD, unless you're as picky as I am.

Summary: We love it!!!
Review: This 3 disc set is a wonderful addition to anyone's dvd collection.. Full of golden nuggets from outtakes & early sketches from the Tracy Ulman show, not to mention the audio commentary on every episode.. You'll enjoy repeated viewings of the very first season & get lots of behind-the-scenes information. This would make a great gift for any Simpsons fan.

Summary: Just plain awesome!
Review: For those of us who were too young to be seriously watching TV when the Simpsons first stormed the nation, this set is a wonderful gift. On three discs, we can finally see where it all began. While I agree with the other reviewers who say that the menus are far too inconvenient to navigate, it is still just a minor price to pay for the ability to watch thirteen episodes of the Simpsons at the touch of a button.
This is a high value set -- buy it and get ready to bust a gut laughing.

Summary: ehhhhhhxcellent
Review: Well the epidodes are premo grade A excellent, but as stated above, navigation is not as good as it could be. Maybe the producers will read this and make the next seasons more user friendly. However this is no reason not to buy it, if you are a true fan you need this like you need food and water.

Summary: I'm a huge Simpson fan, but...
Review: I'm a huge Simpson fan, but I was let down by the production of this DVD set. The espisodes are great, especially in high definition DVD, but the Menu layout in horrible. It's the only thing keeping it from getting a 5 star rating. You can't just seamlessly play the episodes. You have to go back to the main menu each and every time. They should have designed this a lot better than they did. Also, it seemed like it was missing a few episodes, as well as that it didn't include all of the Simpsons shorts from the Tracy Ulman show, only a few of them. Oh well.. hopefully the 2nd, 3rd, etc series DVD will be a LOT better in production than this one. Either way, I recommend it for all the hardcore Simpsons fans out there. :o)
