The one and only (ugh) simpsons dvd post!

[Guest Tiger Suplex 85]

Post any thoughts or facts you have on the Simpsons DVD Box Sets here.

 

EDIT: And when I say (ugh), I mean at having to type "the One and Only". I love The Simpsons.

[Guest theWCWRaider]

Well, I liked the first Simpsons box set. The episodes were good to look back on, and I got a kick out of some of the commentaries.

Even though, they weren't sure on there own history. According to them Apu first appeared in 2 different episodes, and Bart never said Cowabunga, but then he clearly said it in one of the Episodes.

 

Now, as for the next set, I've heard a mid year release of Season 2, and judging by the episode descriptions I can't wait for them to come out.

[Guest RetroRob215]

I'm interested in the Simpsons DVD set, but I have seen it being sold for $25 - $40.  Since you guys already saw it, what is the most you would be willing to pay for it?

[Guest Daredevil21]

I'd probably spend whatever they are charging. It's good stuff. The episodes are still fun to watch and the commentaries are great.

[Guest areacode212]

Well I certainly wouldn't pay $40 for it. I got it for around $26 at a retail store the day the set came out. Just get it for as little as possible. Good shopping advice, huh?

[Guest theWCWRaider]

I paid around $30 for it, when it came out, and it was worth it. I don't know if I would pay much more than that however.

[Guest JAMES900]

Yeah season one is great I carn't wait for season two to come out (I think it comes out in april/may)

[Guest AlwaysPissedOff]

Well, since I work at Sam's Club, we generally have box sets for a good price because I paid like 20 something for the First Season down here.

[Guest pochorenella]

Are they including the Halloween Specials on the box sets? I think it would be ultra-cool if they released a box set only for the Halloween Episodes. Anybody agrees?

[Guest TUS_02]

I agree... that's a good concept since they have like what... 11 specials?  12?

So.....anyone here ANYTHING about season 4 yet?

[Downhome 0]

It comes out in Feb.

[Bruiser Chong 0]

And where did you hear this? I don't recall seeing anything about season 4 anywhere.

[the max 0]

I too would like to know.

 

I see nothing about it anywhere.

It'll be a great set, no doubt about it, but until DH returns to tell us where the hell he got February, I say he's full of shit, since all three seasons have had their street dates announced months before they took place.

[the max 0]

Worth whatever price to get the greatest episode ever.

 

Marge v. The Monorail

 

Genius, simply genius.

[treble 0]

You think there's any possibility they can get Conan to do commentary on the episodes he wrote?

[Guest FrigidSoul]

You think there's any possibility they can get Conan to do commentary on the episodes he wrote?

right about now they should be begging Conan to come back and write.

 

Seasons 4-6 = the Pinnacle of the Simpsons

[the max 0]

3-6 = Pinnacle.

[cbacon 0]

Well, even if it is a while before Season 4 is out, at least there's Season 3 of Futurama (argueably the shows best season) in March.

 

Fox Home Entertainment have announced the Region 1 DVD release of Futurama Volume 3 for 9th March 2004 with a retail price of $49.98. This set contains all 22 episodes from the third (production) season spread across four discs

[Guest ElectricRaccoon]

I'm going to have to pick this one up. Seeing it all laid out, I'd say this stretch of episodes was when the show was at it's absolute peak.

 

Mr. Plow

Lisa's First Word

Homer's Triple Bypass

Marge vs. the Monorail

Selma's Choice

Brother from the Same Planet

I Love Lisa

Duffless

Last Exit to Springfield

 

Every one of them holds up to this day, even after seeing them god-knows-how-many times in syndication.

Bah, who cares? Futurama is such a poor man's Simpsons, it's not even funny. I'm still looking to dump Season 1 that I foolishly bought when it was released.

[the max 0]

If I had a decent amount of $$$, I'd take it off your hands.

Just to sidetrack the thread one second, there is one Simpsons question I keep meaning to ask, how did Dr. Marvin Monroe die? I think I have seen nearly every episode, but I have never seen this?

He didn't die in an episode, but one episode had the Hospital with a wing dedicated to him.

Oy, I'm so sick of hearing this. Futurama is a completely different style of comedy than The Simpsons.

[Guest FrigidSoul]

Futurama is a completely different style of comedy than The Simpsons.

Ya, the kind that for the most part isn't funny.

 

I've only seen like 3 episodes that I enjoyed.
