Summary: Just what the fans ordered
Review: This dvd set is probably the best that any Simpsons fan could ever ask for. I mean, to get every episode plus featured commentary by the directors, writers and Matt Groening, some outtakes, and storyboards. I plan on getting each set season by season as they're released. If your a Simpsons fan, I don't think I have to tell you that this is a good buy, I mean thirteen episodes for under forty bucks.

Summary: A start of a something good
Review: The Simpsons revolutionized prime time animation. It was the first animated show to run in prime time since the Flintstones. This collection, the first of what is hoped to be many more, showcases the first season. It has all of the episodes with their titles. The quality of the video and audio are excellent. It is well worth seeing these episodes if you are used to only grainy VHS tapes. The extras are also a good touch. The scripts may interest the hard core fans. The early "roughs" and first attempt at an animated draft were wonderfully BAD! Matt Groening and others acknowledge in their commentary on how awful the first run was. Getting animation right is hard. It takes a lot of people who must really care about the project. Recently at the Festival of Cartoon Art in Columbus, Ohio, Lynn Johnston who creates "For Better and Worse" and Rick Kirkman who co-creates "Baby Blues" lamented on how badly their strips were treated by animators. It boiled down to one point: the animators have to really care about the characters and the show. Luckily for us, the producers of the Simpsons do care, and it shows! A wonderful collection for the Simpsons fans.\

Summary: i love this tv show...
Review: Matt Groening states in the liner notes of this 3 DVD set that if anything looks glitch filled please remember that, "We didn't know what the hell we were doing back then." What a false that statement that turns out to be. What you have here is the 1st season of the Simpsons, 13 glorious episodes that show us the beginning of characters that are still with us today. I don't see them as they didn't know what they were doing, I see this as the baby pictures to one of the greatest TV families to grace the tube today. Oh how gracefully this show has aged. Please release season two sooner than later...

Summary: The Simpsons....no commercials!
Review: What can be better than sitting on your couch or favorite chair, watching The Simpsons on TV? Watching The Simpsons on DVD, that's what. No commercials! Watch it whenever you want! If you like The Simpsons at all, then you'll love this DVD set. (3 discs) Let's hope they release the other seasons of The Simpsons as well. A lot of people would like to own the complete collection. I know I would...

Summary: Content great, format so-so.
Review: I'm a long-time Simpson fan who already has all the episodes on tape - so I won't waste time saying how thrilled I am to have some crisp clean copies on hand that I'm sure I'll be able to show the grandkids. My only criticism, though, is with the way you're only able to play one episode at a time on the DVD - and when the episode ends (only 23 or so quick minutes later), you have to fumble with the remote control in the dark to click on the next episode. Why didn't they allow you to at least CHOOSE to watch all the shows non-stop? I really hope they change that format for the up-coming releases.

Summary: Long awaited, well worth it !!!
Review: This "first season" collection of pre-evolved, crude, & somewhat "slow" Simpsons episodes on DVD is a MUST for the diehard Simpsons Fan! Don't listen to those who bash these older episodes, they may not be as funny, but they are classics in animation history! Heck, Mickey Mouse had the personality of a roof shingle when he first appeared in 1928. Matt Groeing packs this DVD with commentary by himself, and other creators & writers, giving us a rare "behind-the-scenes" look at each episode. To sum it up, "mmmmmmm, Simpsons DVD..."

Summary: Wonderful, but lacking the extras I would have expected
Review: Great collection, but sadly lacking the extra features that I would have expected. The narration by the writers and animators is very good (they do repeat themselves a lot). With 6 episodes on each of the first 2 dvds, I felt sure that disc 3 would hold all kinds of goodies. Unfortunately this is not the case. There is a short British report on the Simpsons, a couple of scripts, some useless sequences in different languages, and the only real gem - an initial, unaired animation of a show. All in all, my complaint is minor. I only hope that the future releases will include more extras.

Summary: Uh...
Review: Well, it is definatley the Simpsons. Unfortunately, it is the first season of the show, when the voices weren't great, the writing was pretty mediocre and the the animation sucked. View this as a piece of history more than anything that is truly entertaining. I will of course buy every single DVD package Groening and Co throw at me (Like the liner notes say) but I am not going to really enjoy these discs until season 3 or 4. Then they become brilliant. I'll be waiting.
