Commentary for each episode

Each episode??!?? Whoa!
I don't know if that's accurate, but that's a s***tload of commentary. Cool!

Mark, that's the same thing they did for season 1. I believe that's the plan for all of the seasons, as they're released.

The Simpsons sounds good but are they EVER going to release this damn thing? The last season came out like 5 months ago now and there is STILL no official announcement about this anywhere.

I think the plan is a new set every six months. (?) The last i heard this was coming in May.

2 a year? It's going to take 10 years to release them all by the time the show finally stops making new episodes! I think they've already signed for season 14!

Well that's the rate they're going for on Buffy it seems and it really pisses me off. However it seems to be run on a 5 months/8 months periodic cycle for some reason.
Just release them and we will buy, is what I say!

I know. I feel the same way but I think the wisdom is that people have so many choices and only so much money to spend that they need to space them out. I think if they keep the price down (like the season 1 set) they could release 3 or 4 a year.

Wasn't season two of the Simpsons the one that had the two music videos (Bartman and Deep Deep Trouble)? Won't they be on the DVD set?

 

[Dan Brecher]

I think you're right about the music videos, Carl. I was going to post the same thing. I hope they're there!

Well that's the rate they're going for on Buffy

Peter Staddon did recently say in a BBC interview regarding Buffy that they were hoping to get them out faster. I believe we may have Buffy season 3 come the end of the year. If 2 is due in May/June then Fox have six months to prep 3, and the extras are already done since the R2 set is out there. I think Buffy will come at a steady flow, this year at least.

I truly wish Simpsons was three a year...heck, four a year and I'd buy em. To deem my love for the show as obsession would be an understatement, I'd buy every season were they released tomorrow!

If you can do the Bart you're bad like Michael Jackson!

I wouldn't mind the Jackson video either, which featured, I believe, Black or White? I don't remember exactly.

I'm thinking (hoping) those "2 video clips" are actually the music videos. That spec listing is for the R2 version (probably identical to the R1), and was taken off of a French site, so I'm hoping "2 music videos" became "2 video clips" in the translation. Seems logical to me. What else could the clips be?
EDIT: Just found this posted over at DVDTimes:

The Simpsons: Season 2 will be a 4-disc box set, presented in 4:3 Aspect Ratio with remixed English DD5.1 Audio, and English and French DD2.0 Audio tracks. Extras include Audio Commentary for all 22-episodes, an interview with James L. Brooks and Matt Groening, 'Do the Bartman' Music Video with optional Commentary, an interview with David Silverman regarding the creation of an episode, 'Emmy Awards Presentation' featurette, three 'Butterfinger Commercials', clips of The Simpsons in various languages, and an image gallery.

It's a UK site, but specifically mentions the specs as the R1 release (5/21/02 release).

Great specs from DVDTimes if true, then!
