Simpsons Season 3 DVD out tomorrow (8-26)!!!!

Those are from the first season?

 

2nd..
1st season has really good episodes too...
Marge almost falls for her bowling instructor (Kevin Kline), the Xmas episode, etc (I'm at work so I don't have in fron of me).

You are cheating yourself if you don't get the 1st 2 seasons if you are fan.

I can understand if you want to skip the past couple of years but not the first 2!

I will be getting them all!!

 

The bowling instructor was actually voiced by Albert Brooks. He's done a lot of great Simsons characters' voices.

 

I think the first season does pale in comparison to subsequent seasons: it's not as dense (the sheer number of jokes is smaller and don't come in as fast, with longer stretches featuring no jokes), everything is cruder and rougher...but when the show came out, I was in grade school, and I remember watching the first season and thinking how NOTHING on TV came close. Nothing was ever sanitized or watered down, and it was all hilarious.

Going back to just season one, it does have a few stinkers (the camping episode ruined the show for a friend of mine, because that was the first episode he saw, and the only one he saw on several initial viewings). Here's the list of episodes:

1. The X-Mas episode
2. Bart the genius
3. Homer losing his job, becomes a crusader, is rehired, etc.
4. Homer gets his family to Dr. Marvin Monroe
5. Bart vs. Nelson
6. The one with Bleeding Gums Murphy (a more 'serious' minded episode, but it just goes to show you that Lisa gives the show a lot of heart. That, and the bits with the wrestling game are hilarious)
7. The camping episode
8. Bart cuts off Jebediah Springfield's head
9. Marge and the bowling instructor
10. Homer is photographed with the stripper
11. Bart goes to France in the student exchange program
12. Krusty's framed by Sideshow Bob
13. The Babysitter Bandit

Hmmm....actually there's only one real stinker in that bunch. I think I liked all the others.

 

Heh, that's gone down as one of my favs. I can't remember how long I laughed at that rabbit shooting across the sky.

 

Considering the competition this week, it's encouraging to see it's doing well. It translates into good news for Tv show releases, and perhaps more good things, JUST, for The Simpson's franchise !

Mmm, 'Simpsons' 3rd DVD set bows big
By Brett Sporich

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - First-day sales of "The Simpsons: Season 3" double-disc DVD doubled those of the Season 1 DVD release and were about 20% ahead of the Season 2 box, according to Fox executives.

"Simpsons 3," released Tuesday, is estimated to have already sold through about 40% of its initial shipment of about 500,000 DVD units.

A half-million units is a fraction of what major theatrical titles ship to retail outlets and video rental stores, but for the nascent TV-to-DVD niche, it is a large shipment.

The industry has found that seasonal DVD releases of such television series as HBO's "The Sopranos" and "Sex and the City" can be rather lucrative because each box set retails for an average price of about $50, compared with about $20 for a major theatrical release.


The increased profit margins and the length of time TV-to-DVD product tends to remain selling on store shelves has made TV-to-DVD products one of the hottest growth sectors in the realm of DVD, several industry sources said.

Has anybody found the Easter Eggs yet? There's gotta be some hidden stuff on these discs.

I got this yesterday and I'm still watching disc 1.

 

Well? Where are they?
I love the camping episode too. That rabbit flying across the TV just blew my mind man!

 

I found a second hidden commentary for the "Lisa's Pony" episode.

 

It's just a compilation of some Halloween episodes. No reason to get it if you are going to buy every season as they will show up on the Season box sets eventually.

 

Most of the shows on there aren't on DVD yet since it's only up to Season 3.

 

The TREEHOUSE DVD has 5, 6, 7 and 12 TOH's. At the current pace of release for the season boxes, it'll be years before they're available uncut and on DVD. Mine was $8 at Costco. No extras (no commentaries) but it's fun to have these eps uncut in time for Halloween!

 

Which Treehouse episode has Homer in 3-D? Is that on the DVD?

 

Yup! And my favorite ever, the time-traveling toaster!
