HTF REVIEW: The Simpsons - The Complete Third Season (Highly Recommended!) (1 Viewer)

[Darren Haycock]

I'm going to assume that the picture quality is as good as they could possibly make it. These aren't the "hot off the presses" episodes of today, and I was satisfied with the job they did with the first two seasons. There's only so much you can do with what you're given...

but I think the picture is fine

This is of the reasons I said that the bigger your tv, the worse it is. Plus you're right, the average person doesnt have to look at it with a critical eye.

Easter Egg details

Insert DVD Three and from the main menu, enter “84763” on your remote. This brings up the menu of audio outtakes.

Great review.

Please forgive my ignorance, but what is a pop up episode, and how does one access said episode?

 

[Adam_Reiter]

Have you ever watched VH1 pop-up video? Its just a feature than as you are watching the episode, little white boxes pop up giving you trivia about certain things. Usually its triva on an item or person in the shot at the time.

You pick the Colonel Homer episode, hit "special features" and you will see the pop-up option.

Ahhh...its all so clear now. Thankyou very much

it's sketch scanned and painted in a computer (same as disney since Lion King)

Actually, they've been doing computerized in-between and paint work since The Rescuers Down Under in 1990. The Little Mermaid was the last Disney film done entirely by hand in the traditional method. Consequently, it's also the last film you can actually buy true production cels from.

I'm very picky when it comes to picture quality, so I was somewhat apprehensive when I received this set today, debating whether to open it or wait for other reviews.

With a mixture of relief and delight I'm can report that, from my standpoint at least, these episodes look fine - easily besting the UK digital transmissions on Sky and the BBC.

Maybe we've been spoiled by the picture quality on the recent Futurama DVD releases, but these 1991 Simpsons episodes were never in that league.

I really do appologize if you read this review when I first posted it.

No problem. I didn't intend anything but an encouraging recommendation for your future reviews. And my experience is that praise without honest critique will not help a person improve their writing. If anything.

Regardless, it was an informative review and your efforts, as well as that of the other reviewers, are clearly appreciated around here.

Does anyone have the word on whether they used Aerosmith's original music or not in "Flaming Moe's?"

 

[Adam_Reiter]

Terry, I will pop it in tomorrow and check for you.

Great review, Adam!

Could you please post a pic of the DVD case in your reviews? Thanks!

Hello Adam!

Regards,

Re. E. Egg...........

How in the Wide, Wide World Of Flaming Moe's did you ever discover this?!!

Is a person just supposed to randomly punch in numbers on the remote, in hopes something pops up? My goodness....That'd take...er...oh, a couple of centuries I guess to get through every possible combination.

What? How many unique 5-digit numbers can there be?
That's the beauty of Easter Egg listings at sites like DVDReview - let other people do the work for you.

Excellent review, Adam! I really like your formatting and layout. I'll definitely get this eventually.

I agree.
Only in the case of Simpsons-3, it's not listed on DVD Review (yet anyway). And why would it yet be...the darn thing's not even out yet.

Must've been another Egg-citing E. Egg site I suppose.

 

[Adam_Reiter]

I still havent had time to check for the Areosmith song, or post a pic of the case yet. Possibly tonight guys. Sorry.

 

[David Brent]

I popped in the Flaming Moe's episode and can report that it certainly sounds like Aerosmith performing "Walk This Way," if that's the song in question.
