Summary: Mmmmmmm.....Simpsons DVD!!
Review: What can I say, except "Woo-hoo!" This release is the reason that I got a DVD player, and I wasn't disappointed. Although I enjoy the later seasons more, it's is very interesting to see the evolution of our favorite family and all the familiar characters. The audio commentary is very cool as well, although probably only die-hard fans will bother watching it. Well worth buying...I can't wait for the subsequent seasons! As Radioactive Man would say, "Up and Atom!"

Summary: Simpsons DVD, I can't wait for season 2
Review: From the get go it was obvious that the Simpsons entire first season would make a big splash on the DVD market. However being a huge Simpson fan I was unaware of the huge amount of effort that went into it. Special features are top notch and as far as a DVD goes the set in 5 stars. Yes the episodes are aa bit crude, yes Barney is blonde. And for some reason Smithers is African American but the commentary and animatics as well as scripts make the set a must buy.
Fox DVD has obviously seen the potential market in The Simpsons DVD's and after the appauling VHs releases it was time we saw something new out of America's favourite family. I'm sure that most regular DVD buyers will try to collect the whole season set and with season two due in the future. We can't wait.

Summary: An incredible box-set, but not quite the Best Box-set Ever.
Review: I can remember well my summer of 1990, when I went to California, away from my hometown in Iowa where the Fox channel had not yet set itself to roost. It was in California that I got my first full taste of the Simpsons, and from then on, it was one of those shows that almost all of my family sat down and watched. My mom didn't mind what Bart said, and my entire family got a huge kick out of the early episodes, which brought back many memories from 10 years ago. The box set comes in probably one of the funniest slip-case sets I've seen. Inside the case, there is a short introduction by creator Matt Groening, as well as a funny whirling image of the characters being tossed around the DVDs and such. Every single first season episode is here, as Homer tries to save Christmas, Bart cheats on a test and faces surprising consequences, Lisa has a bad case of "the Blues," and much much more. I would ramble on and on but that would spoil most of the episodes. One could even complain about the quality of animation in these (several of these episodes look like the characters turned to jelly, and theres a rather strange moment where in one episode Mr. Smither' skin is an orange color with dark-grey hair, and 1-2 episodes later he's the Smithers we know today!). The first two discs contain 6 episodes apiece with commentary tracks for each episode, as well as several scripts. It's surprising to read the scripts (if you can past all the rampant pencil-doodling on the pages :D ) , and find out how much got changed to the final product. The thrid disc is the extras disc, and contains episode #13, which has a rather startling revelation on the 3rd disc, as the producers and directors sit down and groan in pain and horror at the atrocity of animation that almost became Episode #13 (this atrocity can be found in the extras section, Episode 13 plays as it did when it premiered, in beautiful animated glory). When you see it, it will make you glad that they decided to redo it ASAP. There are also character sketches (though not enough), a making of Simpsons Documentary (which was made about 10 years ago), and an episode from the Tracy Ullman show, this is the Simpsons' first appearance. The box-set loses one star for this, because I had hoped the DVD set would contain ALL the Tracy Ullman shorts, as I had seen several on reruns but not all of them. There is also a cool 7 langauge, 60 second clip of the Simpsons in different languages (I urge you to listen to them in Japanese, it's the best!) And as a little sidenote, there is a hidden "Easter Egg" on the third disc, but I'll leave that for you to find out. Hopefully this will be enough to get you to purchase this set. Personally, I'm even more excited for Season 2, but Fox has not set a release date yet.

Summary: Doh! Did Homer put this thing together?!?
Review: Of course this DVD collection is great! It's the Simpson's after all and I hope more seasons are on their way. BUT the menu system is amateurish, simplistic, strangely illogical and even buggy for goodness sake. And the "special features" are lame. Five stars for the Simpsons and 1 star back for the lazy DVD work.

Summary: long over due
Review: the best animation show ever conceived of deserves to be distributed on this medium. Can't wait for the other seasons to be released!

Summary: Buy this for the commentaries if for no other reason.
Review: The first season of the Simpsons was a bit rough, since the series hadn't settled down into its current style. Watching with the Matt Groening commentaries really makes it worth while as he points out all sorts of details that make the Simpsons so beloved to their fans.

Summary: Well worth the price
Review: This is why DVD's are made. A whole Simpson's season in one purchase. The comentary is great. Matt G. explains all the jokes and there are loads of inside humor and facts. The only thing that would have made this set better is more extra's.

Summary: Woo-Hoo!
Review: What fun! I can't wait for the release of the rest of the seasons. I only hope they can keep coming up with cool extras...

Summary: A little Simpsons memoir
Review: Some of these episodes still get laughs out of me. If you're already a fan, it's interesting to see how far the series has evolved from these early days. The animation is cruder, and the voices of Homer and Mr. Burns are noticably different. The set includes on-screen copies of some of the original scripts, complete with cross-outs, re-writes, and characters scribbled in the margins by Matt Groenig himself. For the price, a real bargain.
