Summary: Simpsons + DVD = Paradise
Review: What more could you want. The first season presented the building blocks for what has become one of the most beloved and long-running television shows of all time. Even with the subpar animation (probably on a subpar budget) the warmth, humor, and humanity of the characters is not lost. The characters aren't as well defined as they have become now but everyone is basically their same old hilarious selves. I'm not going to go into the detail to review each of the 13 episodes because I don't think I need to. If your any kind of Simpsons fan you should be kicking yourself for not already having this and if you are not already a Simpsons fan then still pick this up and I know what you'll be watching come Sundays.

Summary: Great, but...we need a Play-Through Feature!
Review: Fox! Do the rest of the Simpsons almost exactly like this. Features--GREAT. The commentaries are fantastic, the foreign language clips are hilarious. Episodes--look very nice, Great to see them unclipped.

HOWEVER!

You need to make a play-through function at the first screen (like the A&E Monty Python DVDs) so that we can watch a *whole disc* at once without having to go back to the menu every 23 minutes.

Give us a play-through!

Summary: Enjoyed this DVD Collection but need to point out one flaw
Review: The DVD collection is pretty good, I agree with another person about the paper glued to the back of the box set, there is one thing that I am slightly disappointed with, I wish they had a way in the setup feature that allowed you to watch continuously through each episode on each disk without having to select it.
But asode from that I really enjoy it and I can not wait for them
to come out with the other seasons, I just hope that they put more work into the next one.

Summary: DVD owners and Simpsons fans must get this!
Review: Initially I was skeptical of how entertaining the original season would be at this point, but after breaking down and buying it I was really pleased.

11 of these episodes are pure classics that are still very funny, and most of all, interesting to look back on.

The camping episode where Homer is mistaken for bigfoot, the origination of Santa's Little Helper, the introduction of almost every Simpsons regular character...plenty of reasons to own it I suppose.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome
Review: This is box set is awesome! The best cartoon and maybe even TV show ever created comes to DVD. The quality is just amazing and the extra features are awesome! You can even see what the characters where originally going to look like before they were refined and it has the entire first season! Although the first seasons drawings weren't the best you can really see improvement from the first episode to the last in this set. So I definately recommend this to any Simpson fan or any future Simpson fan.

Summary: Yellow has got to be my favorite color
Review: Great collection. It's the Simpsons, though...so how could it not be? Frankly...these guys have been funny for a long time, and it's pretty damn cool revisiting where they stared from.

The only beef I have: I wish there were more of the Simpsons Shorts from the Tracy Ulman Show. Maybe they are holding them off for future "seasons?"

Anyways, my 2.5 cents: A really enjoyable collection.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Good Start.
Review: Anyone who've hear or seen the Simpsons know the seris is better now than it was then. The world of the Simpsons have grown into a universe all its own. If you now watch one of the newer episodes it can be mindbollinging to take in all the chacters that have remained throught the coures of the show but in the end you will be laughing you head off.....that's what its about.

WARNING: Do not buy this set if you want alot of extra features besides commentary. You will be disappointed. The extras are no more than the scripts to a FEW episodes along with a commentary for EVERY episode.

If you also expect the clean crisp look and the familar voices you will also be let down....this was a long time ago, you can really tell they got better as they went along.

But in the end you will laugh with the Simpsons as always. You will also love to revist the introductions to some of the charectors.

The sound is ok an the picture is just on avg....after all it is TV....so its acceptable.

NOW...get on to Season 2

Summary: Content Great, Packaging So-so
Review: Simpsons first season video quality and extras on DVD are great. I'm a Simpsons fan, and that's why I'm so disappointed that more thought was not put into the case and packaging for the DVD. The rear cover has a piece of annoying art glued on. It's not secure, so probably will eventually, carefully remove it. The paper slipcase is ok, but I wish the DVD case itself was made of something other than paper.

Glad to have it on DVD, but disappointed that the DVD case and such were not of "collector" quality.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The GREATEST SHOW OF ALL TIME ON DVD
Review: This DVD is awesome, the sound and video quality are great, & it is reasonably priced for a 3 DVD set. I just can't wait till they release the other seasons, i highly recommend buying this set, i know i'm going to buy the rest of the season sets.

Summary: Great, but I have one tiny complaint...
Review: If you're a fan of the Simpsons, you should definitely buy this! However, I have one tiny complaint.. the Tell Tale Head episode seems to have truncated itself.. the first 20 mins or so are lost.. probably technical problems with the DVD I got.
