Summary: More information on this incredible release.
Review: This set represents the first of an expected 12 (more?) seasons of the Simpsons to be released on DVD. The current plan is to release 2-3 seasons a year. The second season will be released in time for Christmas.

Since the first season was shorter, this first disc has many extras. First, all of the shorts from the Tracy Ullman show will be there. Also, there will be a "lost" episode included.

Fox must be commended in releasing these discs. When they were preparing to release the discs, they went to the fans, and asked how we would like them released. As season packs? How many extras? How often? Rarely does a publisher care that much.

Specific Contents:

There are 48 shorts from 3 seasons (1987-1989) of the Tracy Ullman Show.

The first season (1989-1990) includes:
7G08 Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire
7G02 Bart the Genius
7G03 Homer's Odyssey
7G04 There's No Disgrace Like Home
7G05 Bart the General
7G06 Moaning Lisa

7G09 Call of the Simpsons
7G07 The Tell-Tale Head
7G11 Jacques To Be Wild (aka Life on the Fast Lane)
7G10 Homer's Night Out
7G13 The Crepes of Wrath
7G12 Krusty Gets Busted
7G01 Some Enchanted Evening

The Simpsons is the longest running comedy, longest running prime time animated series, and is definately some of the wisest, best written comedy and satire ever put on TV. God Bless Fox for giving them all to us.

Summary: The First Season
Review: The DVD set includes the 1st 13 episodes of The Simpsons, outtakes from some episodes, episode scripts, audio commentary, a BBC news special about the making of the simpsons, and much more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally!
Review: It's about time. After years of speculation, Fox finally brings home the best television show on the air on DVD. Apparently, just the beginning of what promises to be an excellent series of DVD's, the first box also includes the Tracey Ullman shorts that spawned the wonderful series. Hopefully as the series progresses, Fox and Groening will include commentaries and loads of extras, but as a starting point, it's just great to see them on disc...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally
Review: Finally, a collection of uncut, amazing sound and picture clarity in a collectible format. I have been waiting years for some sort of organized collection of Simpsons episodes, the video tapes lend nothing to the fan who wants to build a Simpsons library, and it being on DVD is the icing on the cake. Buy this today, and if you've held out this long, here is reason enough to justify buying that shiny new DVD player.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Its still a few months away...
Review: Its still a few months away, but this will obviously be a must have for any fan of the show. I've already pre-ordered mine, why haven't you? The first season may not have had the best animation, and the character voices weren't too refined, but Season 1 is full of classic episodes that introduced new characters to the show that we still see every Sunday night. Not only do you get all the great episodes, but the bonus material will be excellent! They don't have the extra's listed here yet, but they will include:

Scripts with notes for 3 episodes ("Bart the Genius", "Bart the General" & "Moaning Lisa"); Original Script for 1 episode ("Some Enchanted Evening"). Outtakes from an unaired version of "Some Enchanted Evenging"; Excerpts of the animatic version of "Bart the General" with commentary from Matt Groening and former director David Silverman. Albert Brooks Outtakes from "Life on the Fast Lane"; The BBC "America's First Family" television special; the ABC News Special Report on the Bart Simpsons T-shirt controversy; the first-ever Simpsons short on the "Tracy Ullman Show". Five foreign-language clips, a stills gallery of early Simpsons sketches, and magazine covers. (Information courtesy of Evergreen Terrace - www.nohomers.net)

Wow! Truely, a must have for anyone who claims to be a fan of the show.
