These are the episodes I grew up with! Simpson fans have been waiting for a collection like this for a long time. Well, the wait is over! The following are the first ten episodes and a brief commentary.
1) Bart Gets an F: Bart fails yet another test and makes a deal with Martin...tutoring in exchange for lessons in coolness. Martin relishes his new persona and abandons the deal. Bart tries his and still fails, but he manages to impress Mrs. Krabappel into giving him a D.
2)Simpson and Delilah: Homer's new head of hair transforms from a lazy slob into a young go-getter...at least Mr. Burns thinks so. He awards Homer a new position and an assistant named Karl. Eventually he loses his new hair and new career.
3)Treehouse of Horror: The first in the annual series. First tale finds the Simpsons in a haunted house that drives them mad. In the second tale the family is abducted by Kang and Kodos. The final segment is Homer's interpertaion of "The Raven".
4)Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish: Bart catches a three-eyed fish near the nuclear plant. Despite the bad press, Homer persuades (sort of) Mr. Burns to run for governor. The fish comes back to haunt him in the end when Marge serves it to him on live TV.
5)Dancin' Homer: Homer is the main attraction at the ballpark as the mascot for the Springfield Isotopes. His crowd pleasing routine catches the eye of a recruiter for the Capital City Capitals. Homer and the family make the journey to Capital City where Homer finds his dancing is not well received.
6)Dead Putting Society: Bart and Todd square off in a miniature golf tournament while Homer and Ned square off with each other. Both fathers push their kids to beat the other and make a foolish bet that they both lose in the process.
7)Bart vs. Thanksgiving: Bart destroys Lisa's centerpiece and is ordered to his room. Bart runs away and eats dinner in a homeless shelter where he is also put on TV. Eventually he returns and makes up with Lisa.
8)Bart the Daredevil: Bart becomes obsessed with risky skateboard stunts after seeing a daredevil at a monster truck rally. Homer gets concerned and tries to dissuade Bart from performing his next stunt. In the end, Homer, not Bart, accidentally attempts to jump Springfield Gorge.
9)Itchy Scratchy and Marge: Convinced that violent cartoons negatively influence children, Marge wages a successful battle to change Itchy and Scratchy. The new shows flounder and kids abandon their television sets for the outdoors. The show regains its former bloody glory when Marge fails to object to the display of questionable art.
10)Bart Gets Hit by a Car: Mr. Burns hits Bart with his car, sending him to the hospital with minor injuries. Lionel Hutz assures the family that they could successfully sue. In court, the truth about Bart's feigned ailments comes to light.
Rating: - Season 2, Twice as Better Than First
Of course, I have not gotten ahold of this DVD, but I have gotten some facts about it... This DVD includes ALL of the Season 2 episodes (22 in all!), and it is, in my opinion, a great season.
It's really when the Simpsons started to gain its style. Plus there were many "Firsts" in the second season that are almost in every episode. Such as; the first appearance of Professor Frink and Hans Moleman, the first time Homer argues with his own brain, the very first Treehouse Of Horror, and many more. Below I have made a list of the episodes and put in a brief description.The episodes include:
"Bart Gets An F"
When Bart discovers he might be held back, he makes a deal with Martin to help his grades. "Simpson And Delilah"
Homer scams his employer's health insurance to afford a million dollar hair growth formula. "Treehouse Of Horror I"
Bart and Lisa tell each other scary stories in the treehouse while Homer eavesdrops. "Two Cars In Every Garage And Three Eyes On Every Fish"
When Bart and Lisa find a 3-eyed-fish in the river the nuclear plant is dumping waste into, it threatens Mr. Burns. "Dancin' Homer"
Burns buys Homer a few rounds at the baseball game which drunkens up Homer, so Homer dances(tries to) to liven up the team and audience. "Dead Putting Society"
Homer and Flanders make a bet to see if their son can beat one another in miniature golf. "Bart Vs. Thanksgiving"
After Bart destroys Lisa's Thanksgiving centerpiece, he runs away from home. "Bart The Daredevil"
After Bart sees the monster truck show, he starts trying his own daredevil stunts, including jumping Springfield Gorge. "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge"
Marge tries to tone down the violence on a popular cartoon show. "Bart Gets Hit By A Car"
After a Mr. Burns'car hits Bart, Homer wants to sue Burns, but they will only win if they lie on stand. "One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish"
After Homer eats a poisonous blowfish and only has 24 hours to live, he tries to make the best of the rest of his life. "The Way We Was"
Homer and Marge flashback to the time they met(prom), and tell their story to the kids. "Homer Vs. Lisa And The 8th Commandment"
When Homer steals cable, Lisa believes it is against the 8th commandment, and will have no part in it. "Principal Charming"
Principal Skinner dates one of Marge's sisters. "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"
When Homer meets his long lost half brother that is a multimillionaire, his brother gives him a chance at designing his own dream car. "Bart's Dog Gets An F"
In an effort to keep the family dog in the house, Bart takes Santas Little Helper to the dog training school. "Old Money"
Grandpa finds a new love, Beatrice. "Brush With Greatness"
Marge discovers a true talent for herself in painting. "Lisa's Substitute"
When Lisa's teacher becomes sick, a substitute comes in, and its the teacher of Lisa's dreams. "The War Of The Simpsons"
To help improve their marriage, Marge signs up herself and Homer for marriage counseling. "Three Men And A Comic Book"
Bart, Martin, and Millhouse fight over the true owner of a rare Radioactive Man comic book. "Blood Feud"
When Burns needs a certain blood type to stay alive, they discover Bart has the perfect type. The episodes alone are worth the money, but the bonus material is more for your money! It would be nice to see some better DVD menuse but I'm guessing the menus are going to remain the same it was before. The first DVD has crystal clear quality, this DVD will too, it's just so nice to look at without those channel logos all over the screen. The extras on this awesome DVD include:
-22 Full Frame Episodes in 5.1 Surround.
-Audio Commentary with Matt Groening & others on every episode.
-Interview with Matt Groening and James L Brooks(11 min).
-Featurette on creation on an episode.
-An Emmy awards report.
-Still galleries.
-3 Butterfinger Commercials and other promos.
-Video Clips including "Do the Bartman" + Commentary.
-Of course, alternate languages, Spanish, French, & possibly others.
-Plus DVD Easter eggs. All Simpsons fans will get a hold of this DVD, I have the First Season, and there's nothing better than being able to watch The Simpsons anytime you want in your own home. The commentary is something to show light for as well. It is both, informative, and entertaining. I myself, cannot wait until this summer, and neither can any other Simpsons fan. This, and the next few seasons are really where the good "Classic Simpsons" are, any Simpson fan would agree. If we're lucky, I wouldn't be surprised to see the 3rd season out by the end of the year. I would recommend buying the first season as well just so you know the excellent quality your getting. Pre-order or buy as soon as possible because this is the one DVD you do not want to miss out on!
