I love this collection! There are jokes that I laugh at every time I hear them. "There's no disgrace like home" Has always been my favorite. I really love this episode. When, in response to Homer saying that the family was the worst in the community, Marge states that they should move to a larger community I always have a belly laugh. That only opens the door for the other very funny and classic episodes with their own style that was lost after this season. Thank Fox for this timeless collection. AA++++

A cartoon the whole family can watch. Unlike some sitcoms, the Simpsons started out great and never lost its momentum. This show gets better and better as time goes on. Hard to believe that Bart was such a bad boy that some television advocacy groups wanted the show taken off the air. I don't know what anyone could find so offensive about this humor. However, these DVDs were mastered from broadcast tape, and (of course) the show was still finding its legs in this first year, so the video and audio lack quality, the animation itself is sloppy and weird, and even the episodes themselves have that weird unformed quality of a show that's not sure just how much it wants its edge to cut BUT IT GETS BETTER as time goes on. The only bad thing about these DVDs is that they don't have the "play all" option. As long as the show airs, I will watch it. Everytime a boxed set is released, I will buy it. Overall a great Comedy show that kept me laughing!Read full review
A must have for anyone who loves the Simpsons. The first episode when they get Santa's Little Helper from the dogtrack is a classic. The first season isn't as good as later years, but it's good for it's time. I own this season, and watch it from time to time to compare with how the series grew, because it's somewhat caveman-ish (characters look kind of funny at times, and I don't know if Homer was played by a different voice, but he sure sounds funny on the first season) compared to what we see of the Simpsons now. But it's still one of the best cartoons, and Simpsons fans should love this first season along with subsequent seasons. It keeps getting better every season.
I am terribly sorry for getting back late with the review of the dvd but I enjoyed it very much and did not experience any problems. I also received this quickly.

The Simpsons, one of the greatest and longest running animations of all time! If you're a fan of Family Guy, King of the Hill, or even South Park, you'll love The Simpsons. I highly recommend this series, It's great comedy without most of the perverted humor,and intense profanity, making it a great show to watch with the kids without them hearing something they shouldn't. Pick up The Simpsons today, whether it be on Ebay or even a popular retailer, you won't be disapointed!
