The Simpsons: Season 13

We are an avid Simpsons collector so, each time a new season is released we pick it up. I was happy to get this at such a good price. Its way more in the stores for the same product. We viewed this last week and did not disappoint. If you're a Simpsons fan, it a must have.episode270 1 "Treehouse of Horror XII November 6, 2001271 2 "The Parent Rap" November 11, 2001272 3 "Homer the Moe" November 18, 2001273 4 "A Hunka Hunka Burns in Love" December 2, 2001274 5 "The Blunder Years" December 9, 2001275 6 "She of Little Faith" December 16, 2001276 7 "Brawl in the Family" January 6, 2002277 8 "Sweets and Sour Marge" January 20, 2002278 9 "Jaws Wired Shut" January 27, 2002279 10 "Half-Decent Proposal" February 10, 2002280 11 "The Bart Wants What It Wants" February 17, 2002281 12 "The Lastest Gun in the West" February 24, 2002282 13 "The Old Man and the Key" March 10, 2002283 14 "Tales from the Public Domain" March 17, 2002284 15 "Blame It on Lisa" March 31, 2002285 16 "Weekend at Burnsie's" April 7, 2002286 17 "Gump Roast" April 21, 2002287 18 "I Am Furious (Yellow)" April 28, 2002288 19 "The Sweetest Apu" May 5, 2002289 20 "Little Girl in the Big Ten" May 12, 2002290 21 "The Frying Game" May 19, 2002291 22 "Poppa's Got a Brand New Badge" May 22, 2002

This is one of the classic Simpsons seasons, but then again I think that they all are, so that's not why I'm here. No, I'm writing this to comment on the commentaries.1. How many more times am I going to have to listen to how the celebrity guest was `a joy to work with', `a really nice guy', `really fun to work with' etc. In the UK this sickliness is called `being a luvvy' and it smacks of insincerity even over here. So coming from Americans...2. Can the commentators please be aware that not everyone listening to the commentaries is an American. Quite a lot of the guests are national celebs unknown in the rest of the world, and it'd be helpful to have them explained. Ditto some of the more arcane cultural references. (I know, I need to buy that new expensive box of books  Simpsons World The Ultimate Episode Guide: Seasons 1-20 )3. Can the commentators please stop plugging John Swartzwelder's novels and recommending we all go on Amazon and buy them. I've made this mistake and don't need reminding of it.4. Why does each episode have to have 6 producers, 6 executive producers, 6 consultant producers, 6 co-producers and on and on? This was mentioned on a commentary in this box, but not explained.Dealing with these points will make the merely wonderful utterly perfect.

I almost stopped buying the Simpsons seasons after buying season 11 at Walmart when it first came out because the packaging changed and there was GLUE on one of the disks that did not come off no matter what I used causing it not to play all of the episodes. Season 13 has similar packaging but not as bad as 11. Season 11 has skinnier slots so I have to cram the disks in and it's a chore to fish them out. I would love for them to bring back the jewel cases and more sturdy boxes, but I will continue to collect the seasons I love.As for the show itself, I refuse to watch new episodes ever since I saw Homer strangeling Bart while blowing fire in his face shouting, "Burn Barty burn!" I can't say for sure what episode or season this was, but it aired in 2010. I thought that was so tastless and low for the show I have watched and adored most of my life. (The first episode aired when I was 4 years old.) They should have bowed out gracefully years ago when they were obviously running out of ideas and trying too hard but it's starting to seem like they are too greedy and full of themselves to stop now. Season 13 still has some wonderful episodes so I will watch it until I memorize every single moment and then watch it again!

Came in good condition. Smooth transaction

I always really enjoy The Simpsons video releases (except the season 20 release). I always laugh out loud a few times per episode. However, I love watching these shows with for the commentary, but I did find most of them to be pretty weak. I wouldn't be surprised if they just read the phone book when season 14 comes out. This doesn't apply to the episode that Stan Lee comments on, that one was great. So great, in fact, that it is possible that I'm judging all of the other commentaries by the greatness of that one, and they just fail by comparison. I'm not sure if the Blu Ray edition is worth the extra money, because while the episodes look good, the menu looks better. I don't really know about this sort of thing, but I'm assuming that the menus were made with newer technological magic than the episodes were, so the episodes may appear with a similar quality in the DVD edition.

Season twelve offers a few different types of episodes. Some hold overs from Scully era and a transition to he early Al Jean era. The season doesn't completely tilt in either direction but offers a nice median between the two.

Perfect condition and very fast !!!! WoW!

Ich war als kleines Kind schon großer Simpsons Fan und habe immer die Folgen auf Pro 7 angeschaut. Jetzt, viele Jahre später hab ich mich entschlossen so ziemlich alle Staffeln selber zu kaufen und anzuschauen wann immer ich will.5 Sterne für eine der besten Kultserien die es meiner Meinung nach gibt und ein MUSS für jedes Wohnzimmer. :-)Das Einzige dass mir bei den Simpsons überhaupt nicht gefällt, sind die Itchy und Scratchy Folgen die sich Bart und Lisa in den Folgen immer wieder anschaun und ganz laut darüber lachen. Mir war und ist das schon immer zu brutal gewesen, aber gut, da muss man dann einfach drüber weg schaun. :-(Egal wie alt oder jung man ist, Simpsons kann man immer schauen und entspannt die Sinne. Natürlich müssen wir heut zu Tage auf die FSK Empfehlung achten, aber gut. Da gibt es Schlimmeres...:-)

I love the simpsons and have all the series on dvd. It's a shame we had to wait so long for this series to be released.My personal favourite episodes include:Treehouse of Horror XXIThe Parent Rap - Homer and Bart get tethered togetherThe Blunder Years - Homer gets hypnotised which releases a childhood traumaBrawl in the Family - After a game of monopoly gets aggressive, the Simpsons get a social worker, and Homer and Ned get some suprising visitorsJaws Wired Shut - Clues in the title, Homer gets his jaw wired shut and becomes a better listenerWeekend at Burnsies - Homer gets high on medical marijuana, and tries to get it legalizedI Am Furious Yellow - Bart creates a comic book, Homer tries to deal with his anger problemThe Sweetest Apu - Homer finds Apu cheating on ManjulaThe Frying Game - Homer suprises Marge, and ends up doing community servicePapa's Got a Brand New Badge - Homer starts a security company, everything goes well until they have to deal with Fat TonyLittle Girl in the Big Ten - Lisa befriends some College Students and Bart becomes the boy in the bubble

Same style and format as all the ones that came b4 it.

Dies ist nun schon die dritte DVD-Box mit Papp-Innenleben und DVD-feindlichen Einschubschlitzen. Bereits beim ersten Herausnehmen hatte ich Angst um die schönen Scheiben. Zur Aufbewahrung verwende ich eine 4fach-DVD-Hülle, die gerade so noch zusammen mit dem Booklet in die Schachtel passt. Den liebevoll gestalteten Pappkarton habe ich im Regal stehen - und er ist ein Blickfang. Generell lässt sich sagen: Die Simpsons-Box ist wie all ihre Vorgänger reichlich ausgestattet und mit Liebe zum Detail gestaltet. Das Bonusmaterial ist witzig, wenn auch nicht immer und zu jeder Folge in rauhen Mengen verfügbar. Der Überblick über die Simpsons-Spiele rief die ein oder andere Erinnerung wach. Bild und Ton sind gut bis hervorragend und mit einer ECHTEN DVD-Hülle statt dieses DVD-Folterwerkzeugs wird man auch lange Freude daran haben!Achso: Die DVD-Hüllen gibt's hier auf Amazon im 10er-Pack für kleines Geld. Das sollte für die Simpsons-Sammlung eine Weile reichen.
