Summary: Great But Not The Best
Review: The first season of The Simpsons is not the most terrific season...the character personalities are screwed up [Homer is the good one in the family], the voices are goofy, and the animation is goofy. However, the worst of The Simpsons is still far better than most shows best episodes. But, there are lots of memorable episodes on this collection...You get a decent amount of episodes but I wasn't quite satisfied with the DVD extras...there should have been a lot more.

Well you may want to own this collection if you love The Simpsons but if you don't have a lot enough money, just go straight for Season 2. Otherwise, buy! Its a classic.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The start of the dysfunctional family.
Review: I have to admit, this DVD was OK. I thought that the xtra's were great but the show itself in the first season was, well, pretty bad. I actually have mixed emotions over this.

Pros-
*Homer was actually a little bit smarter
*its story and plot actually had a depth to it instead of the "one stupid thing after another" storyline that we know today
*its the first season of americas favorite family wat can u say?

Cons-
*the characters look more like Dr. Seuss characters
*the drawing and voice's r weird
*It wasent as funny as it was in later seasons
*it seems outdated

So all in all. I would buy it just so u can catch a glimpse of what they used to look like and so u can have a complete collection of all 14(and growing) seasons.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Complete First Season - Not so good as upcoming seasons
Review: I can't give this DVD 5 stars, because the first season is not such a good season. And because fox promised us all of the Tracy Ullman shorts, and we're given only one!! WHY?? I want them all. All the Episodes are on the DVD, But not with DVD quality. I'm sorry to say that. But still, I'll give it 4 stars, because this IS the first season... There are over the 200 reviews that give this DVD only 1 star... Why? They are mad because fox didn't give what they were promised! I agree, but still, this are the Simpsons! Buy it, you will not be disapointed. Altough, it's not what you aspect from the Simpson family!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's About Time
Review: Well it's about time that they would come up with the old episodes on DVD cause I was getting sick and tired of watching the later ones cause they're just not as funny as the old ones, and even though the first two seasons had their focuses on Bart, later on they had their focuses on Homer, and I'm going to rate the episodes by one on one.

+++++ excellent, a must see
++++ very good, highly recommended
+++ good, recommended
++ fair
+ poor
1/2 avoid at all costs

Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire
The simpsons very first episode and this one takes place during Christmas time and Bart gets a tattoo and Marge has Bart get his tattoo removed and meanwhile Homer didn't get his Christmas bonus that year and this Christmas looks dim on the Simpsons, that is until Santa's Little Helper (the family dog) leaps onto the Simpsons +++

Bart the Genius
After switching I.Q. exams with Martin Prince (the brownnosing smart kid), Bart is switched to a gifted school but he isn't doing very well there and after a labotory explosion, Bart tells Homer that he's not a genius and Homer chases after Bart.
+++

Homer's Odyssey
Bart's class goes on a field trip to the Springfield Nuclear Plant, but while on the field trip Bart watches Homer get fired on his job and Homer becomes caught in a web of nuclear hazards and public safety.
++++

After family picnic day at the plant, Homer realizes that the Simpsons are the worst family in Springfield and Homer decides to take the TV to the pawn shop so his family can get shock therapy but things don't work out and they get doubled their money back and Homer decides to buy the family a nicer TV.
One of the best episodes on this tape. +++++

Bart the General
After constantly getting bullied by Nelson Muntz, Bart forms an army and they get their revenge on Nelson, they make up and become friends, and everybody inside the Simpsons house has a cupcake, the ending of this episode was also interesting.
++++

Moaning Lisa
Usually Lisa is always in a good mood and she always has energy, but in this one, she feels sad. This episode is worth watching only for Homer's attempt to beat Bart while playing a video game.
++

Call of the Simpsons
Jealous of Ned Flanders (the next door neighbors RV), Homer decides to buy the best one he can afford (which is a piece of junk) and he takes the family to the mountains and the RV blows up, later on Homer and Bart get lost in the forest and they mistake Homer as bigfoot, a classic episode.
+++++

+++

The Crepes of Wrath
Homer and Principal Skinner send Bart to France in exchange for an Albanian student, While in France Bart slaves at the Chateau Maison's unsavory vineyard and Adil Hoxha steals classified secrets from Springfield's Nuclear Plant and he gets deported and Bart has the guys he was slaving for arrested and he buys his family gifts, at least everyone is happy.
+++++

Krusty Gets Busted
Accused of a heinous crime, Krusty the Clown finds himself caught in a web of hate and suspicion and no one will believe him, with the exception of Bart, this episode features the long time villian of Sideshow Bob.
+++

Some Enchanted Evening
After Homer shows up late and leaving Marge to be worried, he makes it up to her and takes her out on a date and they hire an Armed and Dangerous babysitter bandit to watch the babysitter bandit and it's one hell of a rollercoaster ride and when Marge and Homer return home, Homer lets the babysitter go.
A classic. +++++

All in all, I give the series 5 stars cause I love the Simpsons even though the episodes don't have a continueous play option and I also have the second complete season and I can't wait till the third one comes in session.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "I'm Bart Simpson. Who the hell are you?"
Review: The first season of The Simpsons is on DVD! The 13 episodes that launched the Simpsons into our living rooms are on this DVD. The first season is a little wet behind the ears, but that hardly matters to a Simpson fan. On Each episode there's commentary by various people who work on the show. This is great for any Simpson fan!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Birth of Homer...and Bart, and Marge, and.....
Review: This set is so nice. If you are a fan of The Simpsons cartoons, this is a "must-have" item. Even the packaging is attractive, and that is saying something. I have seen all the episodes on TV at least 2 or 3 times, but this is still the best way to see them. C'mon, fork out the D'OH for it... you know you want it! It is, as Mr Burns would say, "excellent".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Yay!
Review: Good picture and sound quality.... lotsa extra features... easy to navigate menus... most importantly, the Simpsons!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Funny stuff
Review: The animation is not how I rememberd it as a child. COmpared to the animation of current simpson episodes, this is very... Simplistic. Great DVD and a good buy though.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: If you like them, u have to love the first year...
Review: Like everyone has said. The first season was crude...and they were still finding themselves. It is all true.

I didn't like how the video was set up so u had to keep quing in to go to the next level. We had laughs and special moments where u find characters out of color, literally. It was great.

This is the perfect gift for any Simpson fan. Young and older fans alike will love watching the characters develop, change colors and voices. Reminds one of puberty.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The best show ever finally comes dvd
Review: The simpsons is the longest running show on tv with over 300 episodes. The first 13 are on this season. It great to look back at the old episodes and realize how far the show has come along. Homer is less of the focous in the earley shows. When watched this set for the first time i could not belive how good the picture quality was it was so clear and bright, i was very impressed. I can't wait for the future seasons. i did not give the set four stars because the shows are not as funny as other future episodes but the set is well worth owning for any fan of the show. I just hope future seasons will be out sooner.
