Summary: America's Favorite Family
Review: These are the episodes I grew up with! Simpson fans have been waiting for a collection like this for a long time. Well, the wait is over! The following are the first ten episodes and a brief commentary.
1) Bart Gets an F: Bart fails yet another test and makes a deal with Martin...tutoring in exchange for lessons in coolness. Martin relishes his new persona and abandons the deal. Bart tries his and still fails, but he manages to impress Mrs. Krabappel into giving him a D.
2)Simpson and Delilah: Homer's new head of hair transforms from a lazy slob into a young go-getter...at least Mr. Burns thinks so. He awards Homer a new position and an assistant named Karl. Eventually he loses his new hair and new career.
3)Treehouse of Horror: The first in the annual series. First tale finds the Simpsons in a haunted house that drives them mad. In the second tale the family is abducted by Kang and Kodos. The final segment is Homer's interpertaion of "The Raven".
4)Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish: Bart catches a three-eyed fish near the nuclear plant. Despite the bad press, Homer persuades (sort of) Mr. Burns to run for governor. The fish comes back to haunt him in the end when Marge serves it to him on live TV.
5)Dancin' Homer: Homer is the main attraction at the ballpark as the mascot for the Springfield Isotopes. His crowd pleasing routine catches the eye of a recruiter for the Capital City Capitals. Homer and the family make the journey to Capital City where Homer finds his dancing is not well received.
6)Dead Putting Society: Bart and Todd square off in a miniature golf tournament while Homer and Ned square off with each other. Both fathers push their kids to beat the other and make a foolish bet that they both lose in the process.
7)Bart vs. Thanksgiving: Bart destroys Lisa's centerpiece and is ordered to his room. Bart runs away and eats dinner in a homeless shelter where he is also put on TV. Eventually he returns and makes up with Lisa.
8)Bart the Daredevil: Bart becomes obsessed with risky skateboard stunts after seeing a daredevil at a monster truck rally. Homer gets concerned and tries to dissuade Bart from performing his next stunt. In the end, Homer, not Bart, accidentally attempts to jump Springfield Gorge.
9)Itchy Scratchy and Marge: Convinced that violent cartoons negatively influence children, Marge wages a successful battle to change Itchy and Scratchy. The new shows flounder and kids abandon their television sets for the outdoors. The show regains its former bloody glory when Marge fails to object to the display of questionable art.
10)Bart Gets Hit by a Car: Mr. Burns hits Bart with his car, sending him to the hospital with minor injuries. Lionel Hutz assures the family that they could successfully sue. In court, the truth about Bart's feigned ailments comes to light.

Summary: Should be great...
Review: I can't wait untill The Simpsons - The Complete Second Season comes out on DVD. I own The Complete First Season, that was good but the second season's improvement was incredible. It has so many great episodes and special features. I can't wait for it to come out. The episodes on the DVD are:

1. Bart Gets An F

2. Simpson And Delilah

3. Treehouse Of Horror I

4. Two Cars In Every Garage And Three Eyes On Every Fish

5. Dancin' Homer

6. Dead Putting Society

7. Bart Vs. Thanksgiving

8. Bart The Daredevil

9. Itchy & Scratchy & Marge

10. Bart Gets Hit By A Car

11. One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish

12. The Way We Was

13. Homer Vs. Lisa And The 8th Commandment

14. Principal Charming

15. Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?

16. Bart's Dog Gets An F

17. Old Money

18. Brush With Greatness

19. Lisa's Substitute

20. The War Of The Simpsons

21. Three Men And A Comic Book

22. Blood Feud

Those are twenty-two amazing episodes compared to the First Season's thirteen. Plus a LOT more special features on the Second Season. This season has to be more than twice as good as the first because it has almost twice the episodes and more than twice the features. Incase you were wondering what the special features were:

• Region 1 encoding (US and Canada only)

• Animated, Color, Closed-captioned, Box set, Dolby

• Commentary by on all episodes

• Interviews with James L. Brooks and Matt Groening

• Bart on the American Music Awards (with commentary)

• "Do The Bartman" video (with optional commentary)

• "Deep, Deep Trouble" video (with optional commentary)

• "Do The Bartman (Director's Cut)" - video

• David Silverman on the creation of an episode

• Licensing and merchandising review

• Emmy Awards presentation

• 3 Butterfinger commercials

• Still Photos (Easter eggs)

• Early drawings

• Full-screen format

• Number of discs: 4

A must buy for anyone, even non-Simpsons fans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Episodes, Interviews, Music Videos... and Butterfingers!
Review: As good or better than the Season 1 set of discs. These discs are jam packed full of quality entertainment... twenty-two episodes from their 2nd season, commentary, 2 Bart videos ("Deep, Deep Trouble", and "Do the Bartman"), 3 different Butterfinger commercials, still photos, DVD easter eggs, and a special Emmy awards presentation. Animation is sharper - even the rougher (Season 1) Simpson's are fine with me. Comic wit is bolder and cruder. Over a decade of prime time animated TV and I still have not seen an episode I haven't liked.

Season 2 episodes in order:
"Bart Gets An F"
"Simpson And Delilah"
"Treehouse Of Horror I"
"Two Cars In Every Garage And Three Eyes On Every Fish"
"Dancin' Homer"
"Dead Putting Society"
"Bart Vs. Thanksgiving"
"Bart The Daredevil"
"Itchy & Scratchy & Marge"
"Bart Gets Hit By A Car"
"One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish"
"The Way We Was"
"Homer Vs. Lisa And The 8th Commandment"
"Principal Charming"
"Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"
"Bart's Dog Gets An F"
"Old Money"
"Brush With Greatness"
"Lisa's Substitute"
"The War Of The Simpsons"
"Three Men And A Comic Book"
"Blood Feud"

Season 2 contains some classic early episodes... a favorite of mine, "The War Of The Simpson's". Marge signs herself and Homer up for counseling. They go to a cottage retreat where Homer battles his marriage as well as a giant fish. Season 2 also introduces the 1st Halloween special ("Treehouse Of Horror")... which is now an annual party for the creators to think outside the box of normalcy. Having so many episodes on a few DVD's is worth it. Quality in picture, dolby sound, and everything else that goes with the incredible technology of the DVD. Only complaint here is it's 4 DVD's... even Homer would want this all on 1-2 DVD's so it's less time getting up off the sofa and having to change the discs in the DVD player.

Summary: FOUR FINGERS UP!!!
Review: Five if you're human! This DVD box set is a MUST HAVE for any and all Simpsons fans! I won't list all the episode names since you can easily grab it off the website.
You can see the first Treehouse of Horror...
You get great audio and visual quality with all the extra features. It'll be the BEST $40 you'll ever spend!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great cartoons
Review: This show was good for the first ten years, then seasons eleven and twelve were okay, then the last three have been mostly crappy episodes. So buy episode two from when the Simpsons was a good show! I have stopped watching the new episodes because they are lousy. I watch DVDs of their older better episodes instead. I plan on buying at least the first eight to ten seasons but not anything past that.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Simpsons Become Legendary

Summary: The Simpsons - The Complete Second Season = The Real HYPE!
Review: I love this season, not my favourite, but its a damn good one! The animation has definitley gone up a spot or 10!!!!. The episoded have more sense of humour than season one.The real Simpsons hype began during this season. I love the episode "The Way We Was" , the only dissapointment in this was "The Raven" stoy in "TTHOH" ( i hope u know what i mean). So yeah I love this season as much as any other well not really, but it is one grood season! (great+good together) So I reccomend this, but be warned the next season is doomed to make me laugh with hysterics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hooray for the Simpsons!
Review: I love this set and watch it basically daily--the quality of the episodes and the special features are great. However, the one thing that drives me up the wall about the set is that you have to spin the characters' heads at the beginning of each disc when you first put it in, before the list of episodes comes up, which is about annoying and useless, and only fun the first time. Other than that one little thing, it's a great set. The episode "Lisa's Substitute" is my absolute favorite of all time, and that alone makes the annoying spinning worth my while!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOOHOOO!
