Amazon.co.uk Review

Season 12 of The Simpsons flies in the face of the contention that it’s the earlier runs of the show where you’ll find the gold. Granted, it’s been tough to keep the standard up to the levels of the show at its finest, but here we find some majestic and inspired Simpsons moments.

Season 12 doesn’t have, it should noted, the calibre of guest voice star of previous runs. That said, it’s still the core adventures of Homer, Maggie, Lisa, Marge and Bart that form the heart of the fun. Particular favourite highlights of The Simpsons’ twelfth season include Lisa’s relationship with the tree hugger, Homer’s brand new gossip website, the moment where Homer suddenly (and temporarily!) gets a burst of intelligence, and the wonderfully titled Worst Episode Ever. There’s also the very welcome return of Sideshow Bob, as voiced by Kelsey Grammar.

The writing of The Simpsons, as evidenced here, remains witty and sharp, and while perhaps there aren’t so many of the belly laughs of the earlier years, season 12 still more than justifies its purchase price. At least half the episodes here are ones you’ll be looking, we’d suspect, to watch again. Factor in too the usual high quality selection of extras, and long after most series have folded, we continue to find The Simpsons on fine form. --Jon Foster

Synopsis

The Simpsons--ineffectual (but lovable) patriarch Homer, voice-of-reason mother Marge, rebellious son Bart, brilliant daughter Lisa, and quiet baby Maggie--live in the town of Springfield, surrounded by both the regular cast of characters and the stellar guest stars fans have come to expect. The Simpsons's 12th series packs some serious celebrity heat (Edward Norton, Justin Timberlake, Stephen King, and Roger Daltrey each make an appearance) and offers up a brand new boatload of quotable lines. Beginning with the annual 'Treehouse of Horror' episode, the season goes on to include some of the series' best-ever entries, including 'Homr' (doctors find a crayon in Homer's brain), 'Worst Episode Ever' (Bart and Milhouse take over the Android's Dungeon), and 'New Kids on the Blecch' (Bart, Nelson, Millhouse, and Ralph join a boy band). This collection includes all 21 episodes from the cult cartoon's 12th series.

2.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful packing that damaged the discs, 30 Sep 2009

By	catfordvi (Forest Hill, London) - See all my reviews

I really like this season and it has some of my favourite episodes; HOMR, Worst Episode Ever and the sublime Trilogy of Error.

The packing is gorgeous - the crimson outer box is lovely and the discs are held in a separate, six-fold concertina which is wonderfully decorated with scenes of a Springfield sci-fi convention.

However, there is an issue with the packing. Having lived with it for a few days, I realise that almost everything about the cover and sleeves ensures they're going to get damaged themselves and cause damage to the discs.

The outer box is of quite thin card and it's going to need supreme care not to crush and crease it. There's a fold-in flap that I'm having to leave open if I don't want to crease the box taking the inner packing out.

What people say about the inner box is true; it's a chore and scratches the discs. When I took them out the first time, all 4 discs were scratched already. In pulling one disc out, I scratched the playing side badly on the edge of the adjacent disc (this is possible because each pair of discs comes out edge first from a slot on either side of a fold in the concertina). Lastly, the tightness of each 'wallet' makes it hard to get a grip on the disc when trying to get it out. You either have to bend and crease the wallet or use your finger or nail on the surface of the disc to get a grip on it, guaranteed to grease or scratch it.

The scratched disc seems to play ok but I was very lucky not to have ruined it. I honestly feel I was careful with the packaging because I'd seen a warning about it elsewhere.

Many of the episodes in this set are good to great. But the packaging ensures that both it and the contents are going to be damaged.

Overall, I have to give this set 2 stars. Good episodes, lovely looking artwork, but incomprehensible design.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Packaging, 1 Oct 2009

By	L. O. Adcock (Leicester, Leicestershire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you like The Simpsons, you'll get this regardless of the quality of the episodes (although I admit they were starting to go downhill around this point, thanks to Jerkass Homer). I can't exactly give a review for 21 episodes.

But the one star is because of the packaging. If you disliked Season 11's packaging (and that was pretty awful) this is even WORSE.

Last time, the DVDs were held in a dreadful little case that had 'pockets' for the DVDs that make them difficult to remove. Despite all complaints, that method of holding remains.

And worse, the actual BOX is more like something you hold cornflakes in, or one of those small Sunmaid Raisins boxes (without the pro of having raisins), and you need to open a flap to get the DVDs out. You can't just slide them out. And worse, they're tightly wrapped so that it's also tough to get them back in. And that little thing that used to insert inside with information about the season? Now it's stuck to the back, very vulnerable to damage. And not well-stuck on either.

This is The Simpsons; they can AFFORD to have decent packaging. But they're being real cheapskate - usually only the very cheapest and crappest of movies are wrapped up like this. And we're STILL paying the same price as we were back when Seasons 1 to 4 came out. It's not like these guys are exactly POOR, and NEED to save a few pennies. It's just pure cheapskate laziness.

This really is NOT good enough.
