Summary: European children really think Americans are like this
Review: Oh this series is so brilliant and funny. The animation improves with every episode but the humour and story quality are exceptional throughout. My only advice is make sure your DVD zoning is compatible. If it is, get the series and laugh for a week.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What more can be said?
Review: These are great! For anyone who loves the Simpsons, this is a must have. I am waiting for them to put out the 'Traci Ulman' Simpsons, but I doubt that will happen anytime soon

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Content aside...
Review: ...because The Simpsons are really getting GOOD by this season ...the menu needs a "Play All". At the end of each episode you have to navigate back to the previous menu to choose the next episode, then you have to make that episode play. I am a lazy American with Homer Simpson for a role model for crying out loud: five button presses to get to the next episode is annoying and ruins a good Simpsonathon.
For all you Simpsons addicts: if you want to get the history, background, all the cool stuff that went into making the greatest TV show in recent memory - BUY IT! But don't throw out all those tapes you made if you just want the episodes to flow for hours.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: censored and edited
Review: Too bad. I have watched the first 2 dvds so far and have spotted two episodes that have been altered (censored) from the form they were originally aired in. Bart The Daredevil had a scene from the end completely cut (where Homer falls down the gorge while strapped to a gurney). Itchy & Scratchy & Marge sinks to even lower depths - for one thing the original reporter on "Smartline" (who resembles a popular on-air personality) was replaced with very poorly rendered Kent Brockman - and Krusty and Marge's scenes on "Smartline" were altered. To add insult to this, there is no indication on the package that such alterations were made. At least admit changes were made!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I'd like to add something
Review: Without rehashing how great this series is, I would like to see a little more control over the commentary level on the next DVD. I'd like to be able to hear the show dialog AND the commentary at the same time. While the show dialog is VERY low and you cannot control the level.

Suggestion to Fox: for the 5.1 sound track, how about putting the commentary on the center channel, and the show dialog on the left and right. This way, the user can control the level of each part???

Summary: The CLASSICS!
Review: I have been watching the Simpsons from way back when they made their debut on the Tracy Olman Show, and I can honestly say that over the years (especially within the last two), the writing for the Simpsons hasn't had that same humor that first made it popular. The reason I say this is because the second season of the Simpsons is a perfect example of the show's greatest humor at its peak.

This collection features all the classic Simpsons episodes, including my all-time favorite, "Bart's Dog Gets and F," where Santa's Little Helper (Bart's dog) goes to obedience school and is nearly too stupid to pass. The family faces many follies along the way. Just watch the episode, you'll then know what I mean.

Bottom line, if you like the Simpsons, you'll LOVE this DVD set.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not much to say.
Review: I can sit here and rant and rave to you how great the simpsons are. But after 13 years on the telly I think we all know. Im thrilled to see them coming out on a regular basis for the DVD. They can now be watched at my convenience and no commercial interruptions. After season one which was a mere 13 episodes season two comes along with 24 fantstic episodes. Dancin Homer,one fish, two fish ,blow fish ,blue fish, etc..

Its great watchin how excited Bart gets with a D- (Bart gets an f) and then Homer tape's it to the fridge. Also part one of the Tree house of horrors,with the space aliens. Just a great collection with alot of extra's on the 4th dvd.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great DVD from a great TV show...
Review: When I picked this set up, I wasn't expecting a great transfer video or audio, but I was soon impressed. I also wasn't expecting to see such a well designed menu system or special features set up. I have one complaint about this set and it is that you have to let the disc spin before you can enter the menus. Its hard to explain but it is not pleasant. I would recommend this set to anyone who has ever watched an episode of The Simpsons and laughed and especially to anyone who has ever truly pondered the unfortunate plight of Homer J. Simpson. I would say it is worth it for anyone person who likes Comical television shows.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Simpsons - old school style
Review: See how america's favorite family started out. Homer wasn't as charismatically stupid. Bart more outspoken. Lisa more the stilted philosophical ideologist. Marge still undeveloped. The animation only barely getting to the level that we are used to now. See the first appearances of Dr. Hibbert. See all those episodes you completely forgot about. A must for any simpsons lover.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not the greatest season, but still good...
Review: I love the Simpsons. But buying it on DVD (at least in my case) is intended for habitual watching. Season 2 doesn't warrant such a purchase for you broke folks. Althought it's a great season to watch the FIRST time, I'd recomment SEASON 3 (coming out soon) if you want to spend your $$$ on a DVD set.

If you have the money wanna collect to collect DVDs, by all means put this in your cart...I did. =) But if you wanna put your complete savings of $35 into a good Simpsons set, get season 3.

Heck, Conan O'Brien started working on the Simpsons in season 3!
