I remember there being several threads about this DVD before it came out, but not many since.
I agree with most of you that Season 1 is certainly not the best season overall, but c'mon - This is so much better than some "greatest hits" DVD package. I respect chronology.
Plus, how could you call yourself a Simpsons fan without owning the Simpsons Roasting over an Open Fire episode? I could listen to Homer mumble "Can I have some apple sauce?" a million times and I'd still giggle a million times.
The episodes all look great and we can finally enjoy them without those gosh-darn syndication edits.
Some would argue that the supplemental features are a tad skimpy, but I think they're solid enough. A commentary track for each episode?? Damn, that's enough for me. I feel that these features complement the show without "spoiling the illusion".
The packaging is cool, and the little booklet is a nice touch. All in all, I'm damn pleased with this DVD set, and this is coming from a fellow MASSIVE Simpsons freak.
I'm opening the floor to any praise or criticisms. Discuss.
