Simpsons - The Complete First Season

Pros: Great for the diehard fan, a few good episodes, no commercials
Cons: Crude animation, humor isn't what we're accustomed to nowadays, extra features could be better

December 17, 1989 was the beginning of an era that none of us could have possibly foreseen. That was the original air date for the very first episode of a full season of what has become the longest running cartoon / sitcom in television history, which is ...

Pros: Funny, entertaining episodes.
Cons: Not many extras.

I remember hearing things about the cartoon The Simpsons when it first started to air on FOX. At that time, I didn’t get that station, so I couldn't watch it. I had managed to hear enough about the show to know some of the basics about it ...

Pros: It's The Simpsons with great sound and improved picture quality
Cons: Somewhat uneven first season

The Simpsons make a triumphant debut onto DVD. Ever since I first read that the complete first season of The Simpsons was going to be released on DVD, I knew I would need to purchase it. I was more than willing to spend the money to replace ...

Pros: What can I say? It's the Simpsons for crying out loud!
Cons: Not as vulgar as future seasons (is that a pro or a con?)

BEWARE! This is a long, long, long review of The Simpsons First Season on DVD. Read this at your own risk. It is hard to deny the impact that The Simpsons have left on the world today. After 14 years, the show still is one of the most ...

Pros: This is an impressive package from Fox that is quite affordable.
Cons: During the first season, the show was still a work in progress.

I may not be a full-fledged fanatic, but I certainly tread delicately on the border of obsession when it comes to The Simpsons.

Oh Hell, who am I kidding? I have a serious problem. I'm a remorseless addict. I randomly quote Homer...

Pros: The grounded plots and believable characters.
Cons: Animation slip-ups. Characterisation stumbles in places.

Introduction Ah, “The Simpsons”. Unless you’ve been making yourself at home in a cave for the past eighteen years, you’ll have probably become quite familiar with the yellow-skinned, four-fingered family of five. With their ...

Pros: Complete first season. Tons of extras! Re-mastered dolby sound.
Cons: Are you kidding me???

I’d like to begin my review on The Simpsons – The Complete First Season DVD with some excerpts from a message on the inside cover of the box set written by the man behind the madness, Matt Groening;

”Welcome to the first of many...

Pros: Moments of nostalgic humor, Commentaries are good for one spin, Bonus features
Cons: Animation is generally poor, Show focuses on Bart, Most viewed episodes, thus unsurprising and unfunny

Fans of "The Simpsons" were ecstatic when "The Simpsons - The Complete First Season" was released on DVD and as a fan of the show, I was downright surprised by how quickly the die hards made this boxed set (and the ones that followed it) some of the ...

Pros: Charecters are more likeable (espeically homers) still funny
Cons: very very crude animation on some of the earlier episodes.

I got Simpson’s the first season when I found it on a buy one get one free sale over Christmas. It had been a while since I had seen these episodes and they are all starting to hit the 2 decade mark. Those who are new fans of the series should watch ...

Pros: Every episode, plus the Christmas special! And special features sure to make you smile.
Cons: Special features are little on the measly side.

It's hard to believe that in 2007, the Simpsons will have been on TV for 20 years. It's not hard to imagine the incredible journey this television show has been through. 4 Presidential terms of office, 100's of celebrity guest voices, 100's of Simpsons ...

Pros: Nice, secure packaging
Excellent audio and video
Restored, uncut episodes
Cons: Lacklustre presentation with menus and lacking in special features; no "play all" function

The Simpsons.  This is a name that most people recognize, conjuring up images of a spiky haired brat, a bald glutton, a smart alec young girl, and the insufferable blue-haired woman.  The Simpsons has become, if nothing else, a pop culture icon ...

Pros: Cleaned up video, cleaned up audio, fun extras, 7 hours for $30
Cons: The Simpsons were just warming up in season 1, outtake extras aren't anything special

Maude's Dead, Sideshow Bob is in jail for the 6th? time, Mr. Burns is still excellent, and Homer is dumber than ever (that's a good thing). This is where the Simpsons are now, but how did they get here?

The journey starts with "The...

Pros: The first eight episodes, neatly presented & uncut! Neat extras.
Cons: First season was a little rocky - the show got much smarter & funnier.

I love(d) the Simpsons. I have to put the "(d)" in there because I think that for the last couple of years, the show has been an empty shell of it's former self with little more than hollow slapstick humor, lame celebrity cameos, and a new writing team...

Pros: Good sound quality, brings back alot of memories
Cons: No continious play option

Here is my review for the Simpsons first Complete Season 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 ...

Pros: Great extras, commentary is excellent, very funny
Cons: First season wasn't the best for The Simpsons

After a long wait, The Simpsons have come to digital video with their complete first season on DVD. The first season of The Simpsons was a time when the writers were developing the characters, the artists were creating Springfield, and the...
