Format:DVD
This is a 4 disc set containing all 22 episodes of the 2001-2002 season, a total of 442 minutes of Simpson fun.
The season opens with Tree House of Horror XII and continues with: Parent Rap; Homer the Moe; Hunka Hunka Burns in Love; Blunder Years; She of Little Faith; Brawl in the Family; Sweet and Sour Marge; Jaws Wired Shut; Half Decent Proposal; The Bart wants what the Bart wants; Latest Gun in the West; Old Men and the Key; Tales from the Public Domain; Blame it on Lisa; Weekend at Burnsies; Gump Roast; I am Furious (Yellow); The Sweetest Apu; Little Girl in Big Ten; Frying Game; and Poppas got a Brand New Badge.
Once again there are good episodes and bad ones. What one person loves another thinks is poor. I can't think of any TV series that hasn't had some bad episodes in it - you can't bowl a perfect game every time.
Fat Tony (the voice of Joe Mantegna - Criminal Minds - Season 3 Complete [DVD] [2008]) appears in two episodes in this season - "The Blunder Years", and "Poppas got a Brand New Badge". Sideshow Bob, sadly, does not appear.
I purchased the moulded Ralph head version of the box-set and was extremely disappointed to discover that it is just the normal cardboard box-set with a plastic moulded Ralph face stuck on the front (like last years Comicbook Guy) rather than the moulded container that came on other editions.
There are subtitles available: English, Danish, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian and Swedish.
The number of extras is amazing, they include:
- commentaries on all episodes with writers, actors and directors;
- Ralph-isms;
- sweet life of Ralph;
- blame it on the monkeys;
- sketch gallery I and II;
- multi-angle animation showcases;
- deleted scenes;
- 13th crewman;
- the games; and many more.
One thing I have noticed in the small print is that it states: "4:3 version presented in 1:33:1 aspect ratio". So does this mean that we have to put up with a cropped picture or a squeeze/stretch picture? Not being overly savvy about this I'm sure there is some one who can fill me in. I would be happy with the picture at the original size rather than a squashed or cropped version, but it looks like I don't have the choice.
Once again, I'm happy to give a home to the Simpson family, if only for the fact that it gives me the opportunity to pick the episodes I want to watch when I want to watch them and in full, rather than waiting for some unknown person at Sky or Channel 4 to pick the episodes and edit them to fill their time gap or for politically correct reasons.

Format:DVD
Another solid series with some of my fave episodes like The Parent Rap and The Sweetest Apu and as previous reviewers state there is the odd clunker, but what comedy series doesn't have the odd dodgy episode and what is one persons rubbish is another persons errrmm another pesons not rubbish???? I can't think of a saying right now!!!
So no problems with the content but again...what's with the terrible packaging?? Once more as with recently released Simpsons box sets we get discs that slide straight into hard cardboard "pouches", actually pouches is too nice a word it sounds like it offers protection to the disc, how about cardboard slits that you shove the disc into! All bound together in a tacky box. From brand new each of my discs had surface scratches on them even though I removed them as carefully as I could, and they probably got a few when they were originally put into the packaging too, they're shoved in pretty tightly. So to prevent further damage I have had to put them in more disc friendly pouches (there's that word again). In fact my first disc of the set was stuck to the sleeve and had the glue used in sticking the case together all across it, luckily I managed to get it off using isopropyl alcohol and a lint free cloth. Just great!! It's easily by far the worst packaging I have on any box set of DVD's I own.
So series itself...top notch generally, presentation a big ZERO!

The DVDs are great but they are packaged in cardboard sleeves that scratch the disc every time you pull them out of the case.

Simpsons spectacular
Back to their old form, this season has the episode in which parodies Shakespeare's Hamlet and also retells the Greek Odyssey. Genuis.

It isn't funny anymore
The Simpsons is just getting old now. It started 22 years ago and made people laugh for a while. But ten years after The Simpsons started Family Guy took over. Read more
