Great collection!

A Customer from London, England., 17th March, 2004

If, like me you firmly believe The Simpsons can be watched and re-watched without losing anything, you'll love this collection.
The Simpsons does get even better with later seasons, but this was a great place to start from!
Classic moments such as Bart at genius school, Lisa singing the Blues and Homer mistaken for Bigfoot all came from this season.

DVD menus are laid out logcally with episode titles on the main menu and options to select scenes or play whole episode etc. on the next level.
All pretty standard and caused me no problems.

Only 4 stars because the 5 must be reserved for later seasons!

NICE PICTURE SHAME ABOUT THE MENUS

CyberDan from London, 17th February, 2004

These discs are a good transfer and both sound and picture are very good. But the menu structure is beyond belief, it is very difficult to navigate these discs. As regards the programme.... either you like the Simpsons or you don't. I do. A lot!
I gave it only 4 stars because of the menu problem.

This is where it all began 15 years ago, and yes the animation may look pretty bad, but there's no deyning that even then we were viewing something special. The only real shame is that there are only 13 episodes, but back when they were made no one knew what an amazing rite of passage we were about to embark on and what it was planning to turn into, but who cares there are 350+ episodes beyond this series, so you can look forward to that. hell if your even reading this, go and buy it, you know it makes snese.

Series one

KHRANDRASS from from Cheadle, 17th March, 2009

The first season of one of the best known shows in the world. 13 episodes of the first season of the simpsons, telling the tales of Homer,Marge,Bart ,Lisa and Maggie and their lives in the town of springfield The simpsons is well animated and the stories are amusing and well written, i personally enjoy futurama more but still have enjoyed watching these episodes from the very beginning.I think we are all glad that we dont know anyone like Homer but we all still watch for him to say D'oh!!!!!!!

Golden oldies

The first ever Simpsons episodes. It's great to see how it all started, from long before I got hooked. The animation is a bit different from nowadays, but given the vintage I was surprised how consistent it was with more modern episodes. One thing that definitely hasn't changed is the spot-on humour - a joy, and worth watching at least twice each!
