Guest BifEverchad Report post Posted August 7, 2002 Edition Details: 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. • Region 1 encoding (US and Canada only) • Animated, Color, Closed-captioned, Box set, Dolby • Commentary by on all episodes • Interviews with James L.

Guest Daredevil21 Report post Posted August 7, 2002 I picked it up at Best Buy, and damn am I relieved. The damn thing was pushed back constantly since February when it was originally supposed to be released. We're about to get to the classic seasons, so hopefully they'll get on a regular release schedule soon. I've only watched the first couple episodes on disc one, but I can already see an improvement in picture and sound compared to the season 1 set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Slapnuts00 Report post Posted August 7, 2002 Only 10 Episodes? When did they start doing like the 16? Season 3? I got it too! It has all 22 episodes on 4 disks on it. I guess the online description only had room to list the first 10. 40 bucks at Best Buy...but it's the Simpsons so it's worth it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crucifixio Jones Report post Posted August 7, 2002 Why oh why would someone buy LotR now? Why not wait until the director's cut is released on Nov 12th? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest hockeytown9321 Report post Posted August 7, 2002 If you go to the commentary for Bart the Daredevil, in the very beginning one of the writers talks about going to see a couple Ric Flair vs. Hulk Hogan matches around the time they wrote the episode. Only problem is he is about a year off. The epidsode was in Nov. of 1990, Flair didn't wrestle Hogan until October of 1991. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted August 7, 2002 32.49 on Amazon.com, but of course, I went ahead and got the Memento SE DVD (for 20.49) and then used a $5 off coupon and used Amazons $49 free s&h deal to get both for 48 bucks. I just have to wait until next week for them to get here, but I can wait another week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shaved Bear Report post Posted August 8, 2002 the simpsons dvd is soooooooo worth it, 22 hours, 3 or so hours of extras, and commentray all for 30 bucks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted August 8, 2002 Umm.. 22 Episodes = 11 hours or so, since each episode is less than 1/2 hour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest mach7 Report post Posted August 8, 2002 $41? Where? At the Pickering Flea Market. Ah, I'd have to take the GO to get there. =\ I'll just buy it at HMV, I believe they have it on for $45.99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Daredevil21 Report post Posted August 8, 2002 22 Episodes = 11 hours or so, since each episode is less than 1/2 hour. Well, you could count the commentary for all of the episodes, thus making it roughly 22 hours of shows (but that's only a technicality). I haven't really checked out the extras yet. I'm just going disc by disc, watching every show and listening to the commentaries and such. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
