The Simpsons - The Complete Tenth Season Collector's Edition [DVD]
P**R
Springfield year ten
Here in one box set are all twenty three episodes of the tenth season of the Simpsons. Spread across four dvds.Episodes are as follows:Lard of the Dance.The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace.Bart the Mother.Treehouse of Horror IXWhen you dish upon a star.D.oh-in' in the wind.Lisa gets an 'A'.Homer Simpson in 'Kidney trouble.'Mayored to the mob.Viva Ned Flanders.Wild Barts can't be broken.Sunday, cruddy sunday.Homer to the max.I'm with cupid.Marge Simpsons in 'screaming yellow honkers.'Make room for Lisa.Maximum Homerdrive.Simpsons Bible Stories.Mom and Pop art.The old man and the 'C' student.Monty can't buy me love.They saved Lisa's brain.Thirty minutes over Tokyo.Anyone reading this will have their own opinions on the season. Whilst the animation has reached a great height compared to the roughness of the earlier years, the writing starts to move towards a more quick fire humour style. Several plots are Homer's latest new job. And it's the final season for Troy Mcclure, post the sad death of actor Phil Hartman.Nevertheless, there's a lot to laugh at and no especially weak episodes. Although that is, as mentioned, a matter of opinion.The dvd has the following language and subtitle options:Languages: English.Subtitles: English.There is a commentary from cast or crew or cast and crew on every episode.Many of them have deleted scenes, and you can choose whether or not to watch the episode with them reinstated.It is possible to watch each episode individually or watch all the episodes on the disc in a row.The first disc has a short introduction to the season from show creator Matt Groening.One episode has an animation showcase, which allows you to watch the various stages of the artistic process that went into animating it.Disc two has a special language feature for the episode 'Sunday, Cruddy Sunday' which allows you to watch it in either Portugese. Or one of three other extra languages. The menu for these will only be clear to those who speak said languages so I can't be sure what they are.Disc three has another animation showcase on 'Homer to the Max.'Disc four offers all the deleted scenes for the season - some are unfinished and thus in black and white or just line drawings - which you can watch all in a row, running for fifteen minutes [approx].You can also watch these with a commentary which will say why they were cut. Usually because the episode was running too long.It also offers: The crank calls. A five minute long run together sequence of all the times Bart called Moe's.Commercials: five minutes worth of various Simpsons adverts for various products. Which can be watched individually or all in a row.Original sketches. Half a dozen or so bits of artwork from the animators, that can also be viewed individually or all in a row.A glimpse inside: a four minute long animation feature with one of the animators showing how the interactive menu screens on the dvd are put together.A sneak peek at the Simpsons Movie Dvd. Which was yet to be released at the time this dvd came out. It offers a scene from the movie.The lack of the usual bit from the animators is rather noticeable, so the extras do feel slightly light. But the discs do have the usual funny menus, and some good fake adverts in the booklet that comes with the dvd. So perhaps not the strongest season or dvd, but still worth five stars.

feeling stupid? i know i am!
at present i don't know quite what to make of the simpsons. given the paucity of newer eps and the increasingly erratic nature of the guest 'stars' (the inclusion of a certain socialite/ heiress/ useless human being an all time low) one could be forgiven for thinking the simpsons is dead. yet a decent enough movie would suggest all is not yet lost, even if they did draft some of the older writers back for it. as another reviewer has pointed out this is probably the last of the really good series so we might as well enjoy it while it lasts.but this is the point where the cracks begin to show. a change from the occasional joke falling flat to entire subplots (senor ding dong?) and even whole episodes ('30 minutes over tokyo'), seemed somehow that the nature of the humour changed. and yes, no-one needs to hear 'i will always love you' again. in any context. ever.said that the treehouse of horrors episode is very strong with jerry springer allowing himself to be send up, homer finally getting the haircut he wanted and itchy and scratchy attempting to get their own back on those people who watch to get a thrill on the violence ('hey lise, we're in a cartoon'. 'how humiliating'). elsewhere the hippie ideal appears to be well and truly dead as homer does his best to ruin said hippies livelihood, homer wimps out on the 'opportunity' to become an organ donor and becomes an inventor ('you've got it set on "whore"'). there are the usual disturbing. brilliant moments; willie gets shown to be not the man you think he is (and finds a use for vim and brillo padsmost of use have never considered before), the catholic church makes a few...'changes'...and watch superintendant's reaction when ralph mispronounces his name.4.5 stars, round up. sadly probably the last time too

The beginning of a new era
Many fans see season 10 of the Simpsons as the season the show "jumped the shark". I can understand that. However, to say that Simpsons episodes produced after this point were bad television just wouldn't be true. The Simpsons didn't necessarily go worse; it just changed, focussing more on the surreal than previously. The moment (for me, at least) whereby this change occurs is at the end of "Mom and Pop Art", a so-so episode in which Homer floods the town as a work of art. This is the type of occurrence which began to happen more and more regularly on The Simpsons after this point, particularly in the following two season's.But Season 10 itself still has some classic episodes - 30 Minutes Over Tokyo in particular standing out. There is a large amount of episodes focussing on Lisa, which is a pleasant change for the series and allows the character to be fleshed out, more so than she had been before. This series also features the last appearance of Phil Hartman, whose tragic death put an end to his semi-recurring roles as Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz. With Hartman's death, the show lost something which it has never regained, and could never hope to.The special features consist mainly of commentaries on every episode, and in some cases they are more entertaining than the episodes themselves, and definitely worth a listen.As a whole, a good but not solid collection of episodes, and one which I would recommend for both collectors and casual fans. 8/10

Perfect!
Perfect!!! As described. Brand new, un-used and not a scratch! Thank you!!!Simpsons on dvd and if some lucky person finds it blu ray as well are collectables now. No one makes them anymore and they are worth a lot so long as one can appreciate the nostalgia, the original artwork these seasons can come with and the many special features and commentaries that are included. Also Disney removed some content such as the one ep on a different season....

Excellent
Ce sont les simpsons. Si vous aimez voire adorez, achetez-là comme les autres saisons d'ailleurs. C'est dans la continuité et toujours aussi hilarants.

リージョン「1」・・・リージョンはフリーがいいなあ。
リージョンコードが「1」なので、パソコンでしか見れません。パソコンも、リージョンコードの設定を変更しなければなりません。設定の変更手続きはDVDを差し込んで、出てくるメッセージにしたがって変更するだけなので、難しいことはまったくありませんが(7の場合)コード変更には回数制限があるのでリージョン1専用のパソコンがあったほうがいいのかなぁと思います。で、肝心な内容は・・・私は、例のシンプソンズが東京に来たエピソードを見るためにコレを買いました。私の英語力では内容が30%くらいしかわかりませんでしたので、面白さも30%くらいしか分かりませんでした。話に出てくる日本人は日本語を話すので、そこは分かるのですが、英語の内容が・・・日本が茶化されている内容ですので、不快な気分になる人もあるかと思いますが、あくまで冗談として捉えれば笑えるところも結構あります。これまで、シンプソンズに茶化された国や地域の人の気持ちがよく分かる作品です。リサの言うところの「わが身をつねって人の痛みを知れ」ですね。リサ、いつかどっかで言ってましたよね?違いましたっけ?まあ、なんだかんだ言っても結局好きなんですけどね。シンプソンズ。
