Another Classic 5 out of 5 stars.

As for what is now and forever be classic television, the Simpsons are on the top. The first season was a bit choppy and underdeveloped and with this season it is easy to see that things are starting to come together and that the writers and animators are working the bugs out.

The high point of season two, the real reason to make sure that you own it is that this seasons begins the annual tradition that is the "Treehouse of Horror" specials that have always been amazingly done. This particular episode gives us the amazing creation of the Simpsons doing "The Raven" as read by the great James Earl Jones. It is worth the price if just for that.

I sent it back as soon as I got it. It was missing the booklet that comes with the package. That is just as important to me as the dvd's. I may seek out a different source in the future.

This was to be a gift - I returned my order and the replacement order to Amazon because neither had the book with the set. I obtained this product from another source and received everything Amazon's picture shows - including the BOOK. The person to whom this was a gift is an avid Simpsons fan and the book was important to her.

Classic Simpsons 5 out of 5 stars.

I start my review this way because The Simpsons is approching Season 20 as I write this review. And only in the last several years has the show started to show serious signs of age!I am 28 now and this is a Simpson season I fondly remember one of my fathers' co-workers dubbing off of cable for us because we didn't have it;it was on right before "Married With Children" at the time if I recall. I cannot watch this season without images of "Don't Have A Cow Man" T-Shirts and even McDonalds offering a line of Simpson dolls;for a time they were as big a marketing item as The Beatles were in the 60's. It's funny how irreverant,witty,anti-authoritarian figures such as The Beatles and The Simpsons could have any capitalist angles but they did. But these 13 shows have a lot of special meaning to me. In this season Bart cheats on a test and ends up branded a genious,Marge has a near affair with a hursuit bowling teacher,Lisa jams her blues away with local jazzman Bleeding Gums Murphy (am I the only Simpson fan out there who liked this character?) and the entire family give each other electroshock treatment. Of course being when this is this season sometimes seems like the Bart Simpson show;Bart goes to France,Bart fights a bully,Bart outsmarts the babysitter bandit,Bart reveals Sideshow Bob had framed Krusty The Clown,etc. But before Homer became the breakout character Bart was the star vehicle. But that doesn't matter.Neither does the difference in the animation;the main characters have very rubbery movements,a lot of the backround characters are either horrible mutants or just look like blobs with faces in the crowd scenes. Not only that but Bart isn't as full of clever quips as he would be later,Homer talks more like Walter Matheau then he would later on and Ned Flanders hasn't yet become a religious fanatic;he was just the Simpsons yuppie neighbor at this point. But as a later Simpsons episode pointed out sometimes TV show change after a pilot or first season;some characters are baught upfront or pushed into the backround and sometimes you can change them almost entirely. Interestingly enough this would be the last of The Simpsons I'd see for another five years;I caught seasons 2 and on through network syndication. I have since diligantly purchased the DVD sets and will continue to do so but still this stands out as really one of my favorite Simpson seasons.

Ok so maybe not a perfect film, but I stand by my rating 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

A lot of TV shows that make it big there is always talks of a possible movie and with the exception of the X-Files it turns out to be nothing, but talk. The biggest problem faced is getting a plot that you would have trouble making into an episode. The Simpsons Movie in my opinion was an excellent movie and while I wouldn't say it was great despite my rating it's one of those movies that is just so entertaining that any flaws that can be found are easy to ignore.

The first half of the movie I found to be the best and it was really just so funny, but the 2nd half doesn't work as well, but it's always funny and always entertaining. Though at times it does sort of feel like an extended episode in my opinion, but again despite any problems I never found anything not to work. Like I stated The Simpsons Movie is just one of those flicks that is so much fun that any flaws can easily be ignored. This is some of the most fun I had watching a movie. The plot does sort of play out like an episode and that's why I said it does sort of feel like an extended episode.

Homer does something that can possibly destroy Springfield, Marge gets fed up and leaves with the kids and in the end Homer does the right thing. We've seen this done countless times on the show, but it still works well and The Simpsons Movie is just a blast to watch from beginning, middle to end.

There were far too many writers to list them all 11 in total and all the writers write for the TV series. Though I have to wonder why it took 11 to write the script, but regardless the script was very solid. As I stated in this review the first half was the best of the movie and the writing was really great. Even in the 2nd half when I felt the movie to slightly lack it was still well written. Watching the TV series I knew what to expect out of the writers, but I think the movie was a lot better written than I thought it would be. I mean I wasn't expecting a bad script or anything, but the script did turn out a lot better than I thought it would.

David Silverman serves as director and like the writers he also works for the show. Obviously someone from the show would direct seeing as who would know better? When it comes to TV shows turned into feature films the best director is always someone involved with the show, people often come up with a wish list, but just because someone is a great director doesn't mean they can turn a TV show into a movie. You still need to stay true to the concept of the show.

In films it's more about the director than writers, where as TV is more about the writers since directors normally don't have much control unless they write or produce the show. So there won't be as much creative freedom and again you have to stay true to the concept. If you watch the show you should know what to expect. Like TV shows, The Simpsons Movie is more driven by the writers, but Silverman does a solid job at taking this from TV series to feature film.

People often underrate Voice actors and the cast of the Simpsons are terrific. All of them really bring so much to the role and Dan Castellaneta is just too funny as Homer. As funny as the writing is it really is Dan Castellaneta's voice for Homer that makes it work so well.

Pretty much all the characters from the show appear and some like Ned Flanders plays a nice size role while others like Principal Skinner is just sort of there, but with only 90-minutes compared to about 22-episodes it's a lot tougher to work in the other characters. But even with screen time lacking for some everything still works out well.

Overall despite the flaws, The Simpsons Movie is just so much fun to watch and even though the 2nd half slumps slightly its never boring and always fun.

Good. I Liked Most Of The Episodes! 3 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.

Last year I bought this Simpsons Christmas DVD and it is good and has some really good Christmas and winter themed episodes from The Simpsons and the best is Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire, and I also liked Mr. Plow, Miracle on Evergreen Terrace, and She of Little Faith but didn't like Gift of the Magi which only had one funny moment but was mostly very unfunny! This DVD is good but lacking any good special features!

Perfect!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

It was exactly what I wanted when I purchased it and I LOVED watching these episodes but it really made me wish the Simpsons would do more Christmas episodes like this! I wanted more at the end.

Mr. Plow though it was not a Christmas episode was freaking hilarious.

"Could you try not to scrape my asphalt?"-Plow Customer
"Kiss my asphalt"-Homer
"Put it in H!"- Foreign Car Dealer!

Freaking hilarious, so I even loved having that on there even if it wasn't a real Christmas episode. The Christmas ones were wonderful too. I always sort of hated Miracle on Evergreen Terrace but after watching it again now on DVD I can appreciate it for what it is and it is very funny. I was just kind of poed at how Bart ruined Christmas, but the references to It's a Wonderful Life and the hilarious things that ensue in the episode after it all goes down are worth it.

The extra isn't really that great IMO. Mr. Burns had more great moments than that, but the episodes make up for that big time.

Easily one of my favorite DVDs.

Editorial Review:

Consists of the following episodes: In this annual trilogy of terror, Homer attempts to kill his family in "The Shinning," Homer tries to fix a toaster and winds up altering the fabric of time itself in "Time and Punishment," and Principal Skinner serves students for lunch in "Nightmare Cafeteria." In this Halloween-themed anthology, advertising icons go berserk in "Attack of the 50 Foot Eyesores," Groundskeeper Willie invades the children's dreams in "Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace," and Homer enters a 3-D world of computer animation in "Homer 3." This Simpson showcase features a terrifying look at Bart's evil twin in "The Thing and I," Lisa creating a miniature world in "The Genesis Tub," and aliens stealing the identities of Bill Clinton and Bob Dole in "Mr. Kang Goes To Washington." In "Hex and the City," a gypsy curses Homer, bringing misery to everyone he loves. In "House of Whacks," a computer (Pierce Brosnan) takes over the Simpson house and attempts to kill Homer for Marge's love. And in "Wiz Kids," Bart and Lisa are students at a school for wizards, where they foil the evil Lord Montymort.

"I feel like a kid in some kind of a store"---Homer 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Finally! A proper box for this excellent Simpsons season! It fits so snugly and looks so nice on the shelf with the others. Whoever thought of those head cases is a head case! Anyway, as for the season--it is great! The Simpsons kept improving each season until reaching its peak (in my opinion) in season 7. Then it started its rapid downhill plunge after season 8.

Season 6 is The Simpsons in its prime. It includes many of their best episodes, some of which are on my personal top 20 list (i.e. Bart's Comet, Lemons of Troy, Lisa's Wedding, Round Springfield, and Who Shot Mr. Burns? Part 1). The shows include: Bart of Darkness, Lisa's Rival, Another Simpsons Clip Show, Treehouse of Horror V (with parodies of the Shining and Mr. Peabody and Sherman), Bart's Girlfriend, Lisa on Ice (the ice hockey episode), Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy, Fear of Flying, Homie the Clown, Bart vs. Australia, Homer vs. Patty and Selma, A Star is Burns, Two Dozen and One Greyhounds, The PTA Disbands, The Springfield Connection (Marge becomes a cop). All the episodes are excellent (Springfield Connection is probably the weakest of the group), but to save space, the following are synopses of a few of my favorites of the 25 episodes in season 6:

Itchy & Scratchy Land: Lisa and Bart nag Homer into agreeing to a family vacation to "the violentest place of earth" with such attractions as "Searing Gas Pain Land" and "Unnecessary Surgery Land." The documentary on Roger Meyers Sr. is hilarious: he was criticized in 1938 for his cartoon "Nazi Supermen are our Superiors."

Sideshow Bob Roberts: This show includes a hilariously accurate parody of Rush Limbaugh, Birch Barlow. The Conservative talk show host starts an uproar to get Sideshow Bob out of prison and the vote-conscious Mayor Quimby complies only to face Bob in his reelection campaign. The campaign commercials are great!

Bart's Girlfriend: Bart falls for Rev. Lovejoy's daughter, Jessica, who is not what she seems.

Lisa On Ice: Lisa finally finds a sports position she is good at--hockey goalie. Unfortunately, Bart plays for a rival team.

Homer Badman: Homer is accused of sexual harassment by the babysitter. The media circus that follows is brilliant in its real world accuracy.

Homer the Great: Homer wants all the quirks enjoyed by members of the sacred fraternity The Stonecutters. He must honor the sacred parchment or his stomach will become bloated and his head plucked of all but three hairs...wait a minute?!?

And Maggie Makes Three: A touching look at the sacrifice Homer makes to afford the new arrival. He quits his dream job at the bowling alley to crawl [literally] back to Mr. Burns where he receives the customary de-motivational plague...er, plaque.

Bart's Comet: Bart discovers a comet and it's headed right at Springfield! The townspeople then engage in the classic debate of who should be saved in the limited bomb shelter space. A congressional bill to evacuate Springfield is voted down after a rider is attached to support the perverted arts.

Lisa's Wedding: This episode was voted #1 by TV Guide. It is one of my favorites, too. Lisa has her fortune read and learns about a love she'll meet in college (Hugh Grant parody, Hugh Parkfield). We then get a glimpse of the Simpsons family in the future. Lisa shows her devotion to her crude, yet well-meaning, father.

Round Springfield: Another touching episode where Lisa loses her friend Bleeding Gums Murphy and vows to keep jazzman's memory alive.

Lemons of Troy: Kids from the rival town Shelbyville steal the Springfield lemon tree (the sweetest fruit known during the time of their forefathers) and Bart and the gang are intent on getting it back. From this episode, we learn that the two towns were created due to a split that developed among a group of pioneers led by Jebediah Springfield and Shelbyville Manhattan over the legality of marrying cousins.

Who Shot Mr. Burns (Part One): In the spirit of J.R., Mr. Burns is shot after he steals oil from a well built on the Springfield Elementary School grounds and unleashes a device that blocks the sun's rays over the town. For poetic justice's sake (or maybe, there's more to it than that), Mr. Burns falls on top of the town sundial and the hunt is on for the shooter. Sounds like a good story for a sequel....

Editorial Review:

On the evening of December 11, 1936, England's King Edward VIII formally broadcast his farewell to a nation. Torn between duty and love, he had decided to follow his heart. A powerful fairytale made all the more compelling because it actually happened, EDWARD & MRS. SIMPSON captures the unforgettable romance that develops between the Prince of Wales and an extraordinary American woman named Wallis Simpson. That she is already married and believed to have had previous affairs ruffles more than a few feathers. The scandal heats up when the Prince becomes King and declares his intention to marry his mistress, who has since divorced and become quite available. A critically acclaimed British mini-series from 1978 finally available on DVD, EDWARD & MRS. SIMPSON features seven episodes shot in sumptuous period detail and stars Edward Fox (Gandhi, A Passage to India) and Cynthia Harris (Mad About You, Three Men and a Baby). DVD Features: "Wallis Simpson" Episode From A&E's Award-Winning Series BIOGRAPHY; Interactive Menus; Scene Selection

By far this is the best season of "The Simpsons" on DVD. This season is full of some of the most funny and fast paced episodes yet. There are alot of things in this season that make it one of the best, like the answer to who shot Mr. Burns, Bart trys out for Fallout boy, but Milhouse gets the part instead. The kids get taken away from Homer & Marge, after they take a break from being parents. Bart sells his soul to Milhouse, only to want it back after not laughing at funny things anymore. Lisa becomes a Vegetarian after she visits a baby Lamb at the local Zoo. Homer & Bart become 3-D cartoons in "Treehouse Of Horror VI (6)". Homer gets fat so he can get disability, he also meets his mother after 27 years after leaving him and her husband Grandpa Simpson, for reasons that involve Mr. Burns. Sideshow Bob threatens Springfield with a nuclear bomb after escaping from the police on a Army base. Bart steals a video game called "Blood Storm", Krusty get indicted and then fakes his death to get out of it. Homer becomes Mr. Burns assistant for a while, until Mr. Smithers comes back from his vacation. Lester and Eliza are introduced by saving the cartoon "Itchy & Scratchy". Selma gets married again, but this time not to Sideshow Bob, but to actor Troy McClure. Bart, Milhouse, Martin & Nelson go on a trip without their parents knowing. Apu becomes a American citizen legally and Lisa makes friends at the beach while on a summer vacation.
