Summary: They're not as funny as you think...
Review: I watched this with a big old group of friends. Let me tell you something from a (nearly!) middle-aged female point of view: you're probably laughing just because you hear everyone else laughing. It's not unlike being at a comedy club (which I'm no stranger to, having had some experience as a professional comedianne): at the club, the laughter is contagious, but if you see the same thing on TV, you don't even crack a smile.I think Julie Kavner has the most annoying voice this side of Fran "the Nanny" Drescher. And the less I say about Matt Groenig the better, trust me! Arguments broke out right and left when my friends invited me to their "Simpsonathon", an invite I will graciously turn down next time (and every other time after that!).

Summary: Smart and realistic- an album
Review: The unique thing about this album isn't that it is about american music (the like of which are of mostly irish desendents), but it has a modern sense to it. Edgar took the harmonious rootsy music and textured it with a compelling dissanace; that may be too unique of a sound for some. Not to forget the tones. Mr. Yoyo Ma with his suberb sounding instrament, adds an peaks a new high and at times sadness. As well as O'Connor's virtuoso perfomance, that is undeniably good. This album is for those who understand the different lines one might find in twentith century art music, this album is very respectable.

Review: The Complete Second Season is still not perfect, it doesn't start to get to be the best show in the world until Season Three, but I would still reccomend The Complete Second Season. It's not that I dislike this season, in fact, they are all amazing, twice as better as the first, but The Simpsons got better as time progressed, but this is still a five-star DVD, with a lot of great episodes: 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.

Summary: Best cartoon sieres of all time
Review: This dvd set is really great. It has much better episodes than the first season, and twice as many. Some of the eps. on this season are clssics, like "three men and a comic book", (which is the first apearance of my favorite guy on the show, comic book guy), and "the way we were", which is another of my favorites. There are many more speacial features in this, like the showng of simpsons on two different award shows, 2 music videos : "do the bartman", and "big big trouble", some of the original butterfinger comercials interviews with some of the makers, and some magazine covers. Also, each episode has a comentary feature, where you can listen to the creators and producers of the show. This 4 disk set is filled with so much of the simpsons. MUCH BETTER THAN SEASON 1! This is the best cartoon series of all time and this set truly shows it.

Summary: Commentary makes it fresh
Review: If you've seen the Simpsons every single night in syndication for the last ten years, you're probably a bit wary about delving into purchasing the dvds. I mean, how many hours a day can you watch the Simpsons? Well, I could watch them quite a bit...so I enjoyed this purchase very much. Especially here in the second season - as the writers, actors, animators and directors get comfortable with how to put together a good, consistent product every week - it's great to hear them comment on the shows as you watch. Each episode typically has the lead writer, director, and Matt Groenig sitting in to comment. You'll hear plenty of stories about difficulties that the Simpsons had in their first years, with Fox's censors, a new time slot (opposite Cosby), etc. The comments include jokes that didn't make it (many deservedly), plus interesting facts on the way the show's characters came into being (did you know that Dr. Julius Hibbert was a tribute to "Saturday Night Live" actress Julia Sweeny?).. Interesting and fun stuff, although for future DVDs, I'd hope they dedicate a second audio track for comments from the voice actors.

Summary: best season of the best show ever
Review: Arguably the Simpsons at its creative peak - season 2 had the ability to be hilarious, satirically razor sharp and powerfully moving, all in the space of an episode. These are the classic episodes, light years away from the cheap empty gagfests of recent Simpsons seasons. Recommended to anyone who appreciates clever comedy television. The music videos, documentaries, etc are good, and the commentaries by the staff are very entertaining and interesting, but may be dull to the more casual viewer. NOTE - Bart The Daredevil is NOT edited, it appears on the DVD as it appeared on its original airing. The animation of Homer falling down the cliff for a second time after the ambulance crash was specially made for a season 4 clip show, it was NEVER in the original episode. Bart The Daredevil just shows the kids looking down the gorge as we hear Homer fall.

Summary: I WATCH IT EVERYDAY!
Review: I love this boxset! It is so worth the meager price to buy it. Some of the greatest moments in Simosons history are in this boxset. Like when Homer bankrupts his rich half brother. Or, when Marge leds a protest against Itchy and Scratchy. Or, when Bart gets hit by a car driven by Mr. Burns,
The audio comentary is pretty fun to listen to, though you don't learn much about the show, the guys who do it are pretty funny.

Summary: These ARE the complete episodes!
Review: There is mention in a couple of the customer reviews that the episode, BART THE DAREDEVIL, has some editing done to it as Homer falls down the cliff. It's ALL there, including the skateboard smacking his bloddy noggin'! This is a great collection which I recommend to any Simpsons fan!

Summary: the simpsons is at the top of the heap !
Review: ameican culture is on the fritz. southern culture on the skids knows this. this cultural icon epitomizes the decline and significance of this culture. a must for all who recognize this fact and can enjoy the reality of this decline. i can only hope that it will be warmly recieved 1000 years from now. marge and homer should be icons for many generations to come. i would like to ask for the rapid release of seasons 3-12. this is the most important tv show ever done by humans. our species has little else to show it's significant contribution to the world of the wise. someone should be teaching a course, at the university level, about the simpsons, and it's importance to modern american culture.
