Summary: Mmmmmmm.... DVD
Review: The only thing better than the Simpsons on DVD is a cold Duff Beer with your Simpsons on DVD. Finally, after the rumors have been put to an end, FOX has decided to reward its loyal viewers with a rather cheaply priced, yet unparalleled, Simpsons Season One DVD. I will not going into details, as there are fifty or so reviewers who have already listed all pertinent information. What I will share with you, dear reader, is my own personal reflection on this landmark satirical animation. As we prepare to fill our bellies with Duff and our mouths with Pork Rinds, many of us have already begun to reflect on what The Simpsons means to us. Personally, my own life would not be as joyful or comical if I did not have my thousands of Simpsons quotes or scenarios to refer to on a daily basis. What we have here is the opportunity to watch the Simpsons transformation both in style and attitude. If Shakespeare were alive today, he might remark: "A Simpson, on anything other than DVD, would not be so Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm."

Summary: Thank The Duff Gods It Has Come
Review: The Simpsons, undoubtledly the best TV show ever, has finally made it to a dvd/video collection it deserves. It suprises (and disturbs me) that it took this long. ... Those ... videos of special episodes (all good episodes, of course, but still unfulfilling) couldn't hold the masses for long, and i'm just glad I didn't waste my time (and money on blank tapes) taping all the old episodes from UPN (especialy since they keep repeating certain ones all the time, and rarely show others). While I do believe that season 1 really wasn't all that good, without it, we wouldn't have the Simpsons at all, so I must give respect to it. Plus this DVD is so packed with cool stuff (the old Tracy Ullman episodes, the un-seen mystery episode), that any serious Simpson fan would have to buy it.

If you are a true Simpsons fan you will run out and buy a DVD player just to be able to purchase this item. I've already got it reserved and just can't stop looking at the clock and saying, " It's one minute closer to October 1st. YES!!"

Summary: I LOVE The Simpsons
Review: You've got to admit that "The Simpsons" is at least ONE of the most popular shows on television. You know why? It's funny, the storylines are interesting, and it's usually very realistic. Myself, being a huge Simpsons fan, cannot wait untill this VERY popular and funny show gets released on DVD. I already have the three video set of the first season on VHS, but I guess now I can get the WHOLE season of the Simpsons on DVD.

Summary: This is what we've waited for
Review: This is going to be great! I can't wait until September 25! The first season wasn't the absolute best of the best of the best sir, with honors, but it's very good. IMHO, the later seasons weren't as good as the first couple ones. Some people say there isn't good animation. So what? The stories were good. You have to understand-- it isn't the animation that matters a lot-- it's the story and characters and whatnot and these have them! They're all classics, and THANK YOU FOX! ...)

Summary: Best Show Ever!
Review: This glorious epiphany of comedic brilliance can be summed up simply... Best Show Ever! No need to question whether or not you want it, you do. You NEED it. Let's face it, The Simpsons is as addictive as ..., and has a much broader reach (Just ask the folks at Webster "D'OH") I can't begin to think of how many poorly recorded VHS tapes I can ditch (I'll sure miss the commercials though) all because of one neat little package. God willing, we will have the entire run in our grubby little fingers in the not too distant future. p.s. I bent my Wookie

Summary: The Greatest Television Family On DVD!
Review: This is the greatest thing to happen on DVD!The Simpsons are finally coming home in a case instead of the tv.The Simpsons has always been my favorite TV show in the world.Now I could experience the entire first season along with the special features in a collector's edition 3 disc DVD set.The series started in sketches on The Tracy Ullman Show.It made its debut as a series on December 17,1989.From the favorite to the least not favorite episodes,here's my poll in the first season.Simpsons Roasting On An Open Fire,Homer's Night Out,The Telltale Head,Bart The Genius,The Call Of The Simpsons,Some Enchanted Evening,Bart The General,Homer's Odyssey,Moaning Lisa,Krusty Gets Busted,Life On The Fast Lane,The Crepes Of Wrath,and There's No Disgrace Like Home.The reason that all your favorite episodes are on the bottom of my list is because I've seen them so many times on my video boxed set.The DVD will cross with The Simpsons 13th season premeire on September 23rd or September 16th.I know that fox will release the 2nd season through whenever the show will end(I heard a rumor the show will end in 2005)on a collecter's edition DVD. VIVA LA SIMPSONS!

Summary: FINALLY, I CAN REPLACE MY VHS TAPES!!!
Review: Ever since "simpson's roasting on an open fire" aired around Christmas of 1989, I've always been a fan. Now after all these years everyone's favorite TV family since "All in the Family" is finally making it's way to the format it trully diserves. Anyone who has about fifty or so VHS tapes of recorded simpsons episodes (like me :) is in bliss over this episode. BRAVO FOX, and bring on season two as SOON AS POSSIBLE. my volumes 5 - 8 need replacing. heh heh heh :-D

Summary: Worst Season Ever
Review: With the exception of the last two seasons, The Simpsons season 1 is without a doubt the worst season in the show's record-setting run. The characters, gags, plots and even the animation are not up to the standards of the show at its peak. There is not a single episode likely to be included on this DVD that can match the hilarity of any given episode in, say, season 5 or 7. Season 1 is simply a bad example of what makes the Simpsons so great. Fox has an obligation to allow the release of the peak seasons (3-8, IMO) on DVD. I have been a loyal fan for many years and I feel they owe me.CBSG

Summary: This is what I was hoping for all along
Review: A fan since the beginning, with all 260+ episodes on tape, with over 80% recorded straight off of FOX these box sets will sit nicely next to the 15 tapes or so I've got. I would guess a great deal of Simpsons fans like myself were fairly young when the show started. I was 9 and I couldn't wait to turn 10 and be the same age as Bart! I also remember my parents saying I couldn't watch the show because it was a bad influence lol. now its matured into the greatest run of any show in television and has pretty much shaped my personality and also the humor of many people across the globe. Nothing matches the intelligent writing and comedy that graces nearly every episode. I'm not sure if I will buy every season, but the first 5 or 6 are a lock. Seasons 4-5 were easily the best and I must have these in prestine condition. I didn't get around to recording the show till season 4, so a lot of the early episodes I have are syndicated and therefore have cuts in them. The DVD's rectify this nicely. I can't wait for this collection. It goes without saying that any simpsons fan must pick these up. "Son, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is: Never try." -Homer
