Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review First aired in 1990-91, the second series of IThe Simpsons/I proved that, far from being a one-joke sitcom about the all-American dysfunctional family, it had the potential to become a whole hilarious universe. The animation had settled down (in the first series, the characters look eerily distorted when viewed years later), while Dan Castellaneta, who voiced Homer, decided to switch from a grumpy Walter Matthau impression to a more full-on, bulbous wail. The series' population of minor characters began to grow with the inclusion of Dr Hibbert, McBain and attorney Lionel Hutz, while the writers became more seamless in their ability to weave pastiche of classic movies into the plot lines. While relatively "straight" by later standards (the surreal forays of future seasons are kept in check here), Season Two contains some of the most memorable episodes ever made, indeed some of the finest American comedy ever made.p These include "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", in which Homer is reunited with, and ruins the business of, his long-lost brother ("He was an unbridled success--until he discovered he was a Simpson"), "Dead Putting Society", in which Homer lives out his rivalry with neighbour Ned Flanders through a crazy-golf competition between the sons ("If you lose, you're out of the family!") and one of the greatest ever episodes, "Lisa's Substitute", which not only features poor little Lisa's crush on a supply teacher voiced by Dustin Hoffman but also Bart's campaign to become class president. "A vote for Bart is a vote for anarchy!", warns Martin, the rival candidate. By way of a retort, Bart promises faithfully, "A vote for Bart is a vote for anarchy!". --IDavid Stubbs/I p BOn the DVD:/B IThe Simpsons, Season 2/I, like its DVD predecessor, has neat animated menus on all four discs as well as apparently endless copyright warnings, but nothing as useful as a "play all" facility. The discs are more generously filled than Season 1, however, and each episode has an optional group commentary from Matt Groening and various members of his team. The fourth disc has sundry snippets including the Springfield family at the Emmy Awards ceremony, Julie Kavner dressed up as Bart at the American Music Awards and videos for both "Do the Bartman" and "Deep, Deep Trouble" (all with optional commentary). There are two short features dating from 1991: director David Silverman on the creation of an episode and an interview with Matt Groening. TV commercials for butterfinger bars, foreign language clips and picture galleries round out the selection. Picture is standard 4:3 and the sound is good Dolby 5.1. --IMark Walker/I

These discs are jam packed full of quality entertainment... twenty-two episodes from their 2nd season, commentary, 2 Bart videos ("Deep, Deep Trouble", and "Do the Bartman"), 3 different Butterfinger commercials, still photos, DVD easter eggs, and a special Emmy awards presentation. Animation is sharper - even the rougher (Season 1) Simpson's are fine with me. Comic wit is bolder and cruder. Over a decade of prime time animated TV and I still have not seen an episode I haven't liked. pSeason 2 episodes in order: br"Bart Gets An F"br"Simpson And Delilah"br"Treehouse Of Horror I"br"Two Cars In Every Garage And Three Eyes On Every Fish"br"Dancin' Homer"br"Dead Putting Society"br"Bart Vs. Thanksgiving"br"Bart The Daredevil"br"Itchy Scratchy Marge"br"Bart Gets Hit By A Car"br"One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish"br"The Way We Was"br"Homer Vs.

Marge signs herself and Homer up for counseling. They go to a cottage retreat where Homer battles his marriage as well as a giant fish. Season 2 also introduces the 1st Halloween special ("Treehouse Of Horror")... which is now an annual party for the creators to think outside the box of normalcy. Having so many episodes on a few DVD's is worth it. Quality in picture, dolby sound, and everything else that goes with the incredible technology of the DVD. Only complaint here is it's 4 DVD's... even Homer would want this all on 1-2 DVD's so it's less time getting up off the sofa and having to change the discs in the DVD player. pit also has:p" Animated, Color, Closed-captioned, Box set, Dolbyp" Commentary by on all episodesp" Interviews with James L.

Another Simpsons Smash! October 6, 2002 14 out of 15 found this review helpful Now 'The Simpsons' rolls onto Season Two, another super stage in the show's development. This time, you get 22 sizzling stories, with even better extras than the first season, including two music videos to the 1991 hits 'Do the Bartman' and 'Deep, Deep Trouble', the latter of which I hadn't seen for over ten years and was thrilled to finally see it again. This season harks back to a time when the show had first hit the right popularity buttons, and Simpsons mania was springing up everywhere for the first time. And deservedly so. Here Bart is noticably the main character, though Homer, Marge, Lisa and Maggie still get their moments. Real star of the season, for me, though, is Herb Powell, Homer's warm but tempermental half-brother voiced wonderfully by Danny DeVito, who makes his first appearence in 'Oh Brother Where Art Thou?'p'Old Money' is probably the best episode overall, in which the relationship between Homer and Abe is examined for the first time in great detail, soon to become one of the show's most moving and haunting elements for subsequent seasons, while 'The Way We Was' provides a slick look at how Homer and Marge first came to be together. Phil Hartman also provides voice-overs for the first time in roughly three of these episodes, including 'Homer Versus Lisa and the 8th Commandment', in which various characters respond differently to the moral dilemma of obtaining an illegal cable TV hook up. Lisa in particular is horrified that a Commandment is being broken, and tries to show her indifferent father the error of his ways, in a wonderful story that surely proved that the Simpsons were fundamentally a highly moral (and extremely entertaining) show. 'Lisa's Substitute' and 'War of the Simpsons' are simply too wonderful to describe! So what are you waiting for? Click those buttons and order this stunning item today! Course it's great - It's The Simpsons! July 20, 2002 24 out of 27 found this review helpful First of all, "viewer from cambridge" the comedy falling down the cliff scene is not missing - I don't know if you have got a different version than me, but mine showed the episode Bart The Daredevil in its entirety.pWhereas we all bought season 1 to be reminded how it all started, and how great it was even back then, season 2 is worth buying because nearly every episode is a classic. Yes, this is from the time when Simpsons Mania was just setting in, and watching this DVD set reminded me just what all the fuss was about. The animation is much prettier than the glitch-ridden first season and already the plots and jokes are getting much better. The extras are what you expect - the comentries are quite insightful, but apart from this there's nothing particularly astounding. Unlike with Season 1, which had but 13 episodes to its name, you get more for your money this time round, the 4 DVDs having in total 22 episodes for you to watch. Awesome November 30, 2004 S. Paterson (Brighton) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful I realy don't know where to begin with this DVD. It's truely sensational. As a huge simpsons fan, i couldn't let this DVD pass me by. This series contains some of my alltime fav episodes including 'Bart gets an F', 'Brother, Where Art Thou' and 'Bart's dog gets an F'.pThis DVD also features other classic episodes such as 'Homer vs Lisa' and the 1st 'Treehouse of Horrors', and how can i forget every other one of the 22 episodes in this set. They're all amazing.pThis is amust have DVD for any comedy fan. It shows the simpsons from a time which most people forgot and it's shame because some of these truely are the greatest episodes ever. The best to come out of any sitcom ever... August 1, 2003 16 out of 22 found this review helpful I will start of by saying well done to Matt Groening and the team. It is because of you that my sides are aching all day long, from constant laughter. There are 22 episodes this time round, instead of 12 episodes in season 1. Here they are: br1. "Bart gets an F.

You get way more for your monney, and you can never get bored of it. Simply brilliant. Showing reviews 1-5 of 25 1 2 3 4 5 Next »
