NEW!!! Season 7
|
The Season 7 DVD is scheduled to be released on December 13. Pre-order it today to ensure your copy will be delivered as soon as it's released, and shipped to you in time for Christmas! Season 7 begins with part two of the infamous "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" episode. Part one was the last episode on the Season 6 set (see below).
Once again, the season is a 4-disk set, including all 25 episodes, and commentary on every episode -- a standard set by The Simpsons DVD sets, but hardly ever found on other TV show boxed sets. While the crew may joke about their use of "screw the audience" jokes (jokes that don't have the predictable ending), it is quite obvious that the folks behind The Simpsons have a high regard for their audience. | Marge Head Traditional Box |

Season 6

Season 6 ends with part one of the infamous "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" episode that shared the pop culture spotlight with the release of Windows 95 in the summer of 1995. If you want to see the conclusion of this two-part episode, you'll need to wait for the Season 7 DVD. The Simpsons series DVD's have set the standard the few other series have been able to match. Commentary from the production staff, actors, and even Matt Groening joins for some episodes!. Season 6 will be another "must have" for your DVD collection. |

Season 5
|
Season 5 is perhaps not as classics-packed as the third and fourth seasons, but no self-respecting Simpsons fan should be without the episodes "Homer's Barbershop Quartet," featuring George Harrison, "Cape Feare," one of Sideshow Bob's (and guest voice Kelsey Grammer's) finest half-hours, "Rosebud," "Springfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)," and "Bart Gets Famous," with the Springfield-sweeping catchphrase "I didn't do it." Plus, the star power this season is impressive: Michelle Pfeiffer as Homer's comely, donut-loving co-worker in "The Last Temptation of Homer," Albert Brooks as a self-help guru who unleashes "Bart's Inner Child," Kathleen Turner as the creator of Malibu Stacy in "Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy," and, as themselves, the Ramones ("Rosebud"), James Woods ("Homer and Apu"), Buzz Aldren ("Deep Space Homer"), and even Robert Goulet ("Springfield"). But it is the writers and the core ensemble cast who exhibit, to quote "Deep Space Homer," "the right... What's that stuff?" Series milestones include the first appearance of yokel Cletus in "Bart Gets an Elephant," and Maggie's infant nemesis, The Baby with One Eyebrow in "Sweet Seymour Skinner's Badasssss Song," which also happens to be The Simpsons' 100th episode. Add in a very good "Treehouse of Horror" episode, (which outs Ned Flanders as the Devil and Marge as the head vampire), and one Emmy-nominated musical extravaganza ("Who Needs the Quick-E-Mart" from "Homer and Apu"), and you have a Simpsons season that's not just great, it's DVD-box-set great. |

Season 4
|
By its fourth season, The Simpsons had come far enough where Lisa could make a self-referential joke about Dustin Hoffman and Michael Jackson's pseudonymous guest voice appearances in seasons 2 and 3, respectively. In this season, no less than Elizabeth Taylor (in two episodes), Bette Midler, and even the reclusive Johnny Carson blessed The Simpsons with their iconic presences. Awhile back, Entertainment Weekly ranked The Simpsons' Top 25 best episodes ever. Five gems from season 4 cracked the top 12, including the (debatable) choice for No. 1, "Last Exit to Springfield." Other episodes that loom large in the Simpsons legend are "Mr. Plow" (you know the jingle: "Call Mr. Plow / That's my name / That name again is Mr. Plow"), "Marge vs. the Monorail," featuring a Music Man-style extravaganza, and "A Streetcar Named Marge," the episode that outraged New Orleans residents, who heard their fair metropolis referred to as "a city that the damned call home." |

Season 3
|
The third season of The Simpsons contains a host of candidates for "Best Simpsons Episode Ever." Homer is in such good form throughout that a reasonable case can be made that he has superseded the importance of his Greek namesake in the annals of culture and civilization. The opener, "Stark Raving Dad," for instance, features a guest appearance by an uncredited Michael Jackson, who plays an obese white inmate whom Homer meets while confined to a mental institution. Other standout episodes include "Like Father, Like Clown," in which Krusty reveals he is estranged from his Rabbi father; this is The Simpsons at the height of its powers, mature, ironic, erudite, and touching while bristling with slapstick and Bart-inspired cheek. "Flaming Moe's" features Aerosmith and sees Homer invent a cocktail that desperate, sleazy bartender Moe steals from him. "Radio Bart" is another demonstration of the series' knack for cultural references, parodying the Billy Wilder movie Ace in the Hole. Finally, there's "Brother Can You Spare Two Dimes," in which Danny DeVito reprises his role as Homer's brother, regaining the fortune Homer lost him by inventing a Baby Translator. Immensely enjoyable at any level, this third year demonstrates conclusively that The Simpsons is quite simply, and by a large margin, the greatest television show ever. |

Season 2
|
"A Simpson on a T-shirt. I never thought I'd see the day." So remarks Marge Simpson in "Dancin' Homer," just one of 22 mostly classic episodes that comprise this series' brilliant second season. By the second season, The Simpsons was already a pop culture phenomenon. But instead of suffering a sophomore slump, this iconoclastic animated series was just hitting its stride. Series milestones include: first Oscar-winning guest voice (an unbilled Dustin Hoffman in "Lisa's Substitute"), first Beatle guest voice (Ringo in "Brush with Greatness"), first "Treehouse of Horror" Halloween episode, first flashback episode ("The Way We Was," in which Homer meets Marge), and the first episode to make me cry (Bart's last frolic with obedience school washout Santa's Little Helper in "Bart's Dog Gets an F"). In the second season The Simpsons established itself as a true ensemble series. Each character came into their own with career-best episodes. Marge, the family's long-suffering voice of reason, crusades against cartoon violence in "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge." Lisa, the heart and tortured soul of the series, develops an ill-fated crush on her new teacher in "Lisa's Substitute." Bart desperately tries to raise the money to buy Radioactive Man No. 1 in "Three Men and a Comic Book." Homer's stock rises when he grows hair in "Simpson and Delilah." Joining the Simpsons roster of scene-stealing supporting characters are Dr. Hibbert ("Bart the Daredevil"), shyster lawyer Lionel Hutz (voiced by the late, great Phil Hartman in "Bart Gets Hit by a Car"), the Ahnold-esque action hero McBain ("The Way We Was"), slobbering aliens Kang and Kodos ("Treehouse of Horror"), and "nutty professor" Frink ("Old Money"). This essential, extras-laden DVD set is illustrative of why The Simpsons is, in the parlance of Comic Book Guy, funniest show ever. |

Season 1
|
America's first family of dysfunction, The Simpsons, appear in all their depraved glory in this wonderful DVD compilation of their show's premiere season. Fans accustomed to the slick appearance of the later episodes will be delighted by the rougher nature of these earlier episodes, when the characters weren't as well defined (Homer isn't quite as dumb as he is in later seasons) and the animation was still evolving. This only adds to the charm of these 13 episodes, which begin with "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire," the December 1989 Christmas special in which a down-and-out Simpson family adopt Santa's Little Helper. Throughout the season, familiar faces are introduced, as we catch first glimpses of Smithers, Mr. Burns, the Flanderses, and Patty and Selma. Highlights of the season include "The Crepes of Wrath," in which Bart is sent to France as an exchange student ("Don't mess up France the way you messed up your room"); "Bart the Genius," in which Bart ends up in a school for the gifted; and "Krusty Gets Busted," in which Bart's lifelong animosity with Sideshow Bob begins. This set is chock-full of extras, although not all are up to high standards set by the series itself. The original scripts--complete with side notes and margin drawings--will be intriguing to diehard fans. The original skit from The Tracey Ullman Show, "Goodnight Simpsons," is a must-watch, and it's impressive to see how much the Simpsons have changed. Of course, Matt Groening's (and some of the show's writers' and producers') commentary is fascinating, as he picks apart the animation in an unaired version of "Some Enchanted Evening." Also included is "The Making of The Simpsons"; foreign-language clips (hear what Homer sounds like in French); and Albert Brooks's audio outtakes from "Life on the Fast Lane," which is simply hilarious. |

Treehouse of Horror
|
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, 2001, Harry Potter, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Tron should consider themselves wildly flattered as they get the inimitable Simpsons skewering in this shockingly funny collection of four mostly classic "Treehouse of Horror" episodes. Best is "V," in which no TV and no beer make Homer go crazy in "The Shinning" ("You mean 'The Shining,'" Bart corrects. "Shh, you want to get sued?" Homer reprimands him). "VI" contains the ambitious, computer-animated "Homer3." "VII" features aliens Kang and Hados's finest quarter half-hour as they assume the identities of Bill Clinton and Bob Dole. "XII" boasts the star power of Pierce Brosnan as the voice of a mechanized house that falls in love with Marge and lures Homer to his apparent death with "unexplained bacon." For Halloween and beyond, this crypt-kicking collection is all screamingly funny treats. Incuded are Treehouse of Horror V (2F03) (Oct 30 1994), VI (3F04) (Oct 30 1995), VII (4F02) (Oct 27 1996), and XII (CABF19) (Nov 06 2001). |
Christmas 1 and Christmas 2
|
The Simpsons in their Christmas episodes manage to (somewhat) warm the heart while staying true to the series' subversive muse. "She of Little Faith," (DABF02) (Dec 16 2001) to quote a disillusioned Lisa, "could not be more blasphemous," but it does boast guest voice Richard Gere as Lisa's Buddhist mentor. This collection also includes the vintage "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire," (7G08) (Dec 17 1989) which launched the series, the classic "Mr. Plow" (9F07) (Nov 19 1992) ("Call Mr. Plow/That's my name/That name again is Mr. Plow"), "Miracle on Evergreen Terrace," (5F07) (Dec 21 1997), and "Grift of the Magi," (BABF07) (Dec 19 1999) with Gary Coleman making like Tiny Tim ("Whatchu talkin' bout...everyone!"). As holiday host Krusty the Clown proclaims in "Magi," this Simpsons stocking stuffer is guaranteed to give you and yours "a merry Christmas, a happy Hanukkah, a kwazy Kwanzaa, and a solemn and dignified Ramadan." |

Christmas is a special family time, and so it is with The Simpsons. Homer always seems to be short of money, it's always snowing (ever notice that it only snows in Christmas episodes, and it never seems to rain?), and everyone is obsessed with the holiday. In the end, we always see how much this family, dysfunctional as it is, really loves each other. What more could you want from Christmas? Included episodes are: Homver vs. Dignity (CABF04) (Nov 26 2000), Skinner's Sense of Snow (CABF06) (Dec 17 2000), 'Tis the Fifteenth Season (FABF02) (Dec 14 2003), and Dude! Where's my Ranch? (EABF13) (Apr 27 2003). |
Bart Wars
|
A collection of four episodes, highlighting the trials and tribulations of Bart. Contrary to what the title suggests to some, this collection has no more to do with Star Wars than the Homer's Odyssey episode had to do with minivans. On the other hand, the collection does include Mark Hamill in a dinner-theaterish production of Guys and Dolls that exploits his Star Wars connection in a far worse way than the title and cover art of this DVD does. |
- Dog of Death:
- (8F17) (Mar 12 1992) The Simpsons' dog needs an operation that the family can barely afford. They save the animal's life but resent the dog so much that he runs away. He becomes one of Mr. Burns' infamous hounds-til Bart's love wins him back.
- Marge Be Not Proud:
- (3F07) (Dec 17 1995) Bart shoplifts from a store, and thinks his crime has been successfully concealed. Then the Simpsons go to the store for a Christmas photo and Marge is ashamed to learn what her son has done.
- The Secret War of Lisa Simpson:
- (4F21) (May 18 1997) Bart joins an all-male military school-as does Lisa. Her grit is tested more than it ever has been, particularly when she must survive an obstacle course known a "The Eliminator."
- Mayored to the Mob:
- (AABF05) (Dec 20 1998) The family attends the Springfield Bi-Monthly Science Fiction Convention (Bi-Mon Sci-Fi Con). After Homer saves Mark Hamill from unruly fans, he decides to become a bodyguard for Mayor Quimby-whose life is now being threatened by mobster Fat Tony.
Featured guest voices on this special DVD include Willem Dafoe, Mark Hamill, Phil Hartman, Joe Mantegna, Dick Tufeld, Lawrence Tierney, and Marcia Wallace.
