This box set is worth your money. The Simpsons DVD It just is. Admittedly, season one is crudely drawn, the animation is glitchy, the colors are off, and the cast hasn't quite fine-tuned the voices (most notably Dan Castellenata's "Walter Mattheu" Homer). But these problems are easy to overlook. These episodes are still classics. My personal favorites are "The Telltale Head" and "Krusty Gets Busted." And watching CSI Miami DVD the original opening sequence was nostalgic.As for bonus features, my favorite feature is the commentary, because it reveals a lot of interesting details. Did you know that the original plan for Herman (the one-armed military shop-owner) was for him to have a different story about how he lost his arm each time he appeared? Additionally, I may be in the minority here, but I got a hoot out Grey's Anatomy DVD of simply listening and watching the writers laughing at their own show. On disc 3 there are outtakes from "Some Enchanted Evening." These outtakes are hilarious enough by themselves. Watch them with the commentary and you'll hear nothing but self-pity and expletives. Disc one has scripts from three episodes and disc three also has a short Simpsons documetary and an animatic Two and a Half Men DVD (also with commentary) from "Bart the General." Of course, assuming subsequent box sets are three-disc sets, we probably won't get as many special features, since subsequent seasons were nearly twice as long as season one. More episodes = less room for special features. If this box set is any indication, I think we're going to have more 5-star Simpsons box sets to come over the next few years. There isn't anything I can say about The Simpsons Weeds DVD that hasn't already been said. Not only is it the greatest animated series ever, but also the greatest comedy ever. The Simpsons' magic may have faded in recent years but the 90's episodes continue to shine as brightly as the day they were first written.
