Finally I have a reason to buy a DVD player. Heck yeah I’m getting it.

I certainly hope that this trend continues with other shows. Season-by-season compilations are perfect for the DVD format. (I’m waiting desperately for the Star Trek people to figure it out!)

I’ve had mine pre ordered since July 24th, the day [amazon.com](http://amazon.com) listed it for sale 🙂

I’m going to get it, like a good little simpsons fan.

But, truth be told, I’m not that hyped about it. When seasons 3, 4, and 5 come out is when I’m really going to be excited. The really early seasons just aren’t as funny.

I had better, huh?! But I’d have to agree with mouthbreather, I much prefer the later Homercentric years to the earlier Bartcentric years.

Paramount is supposed to “make it so” early in 2002.

I wonder if they do the same with Beavis and Butt-Head?

I’d consider buying it but only if they include the original videos that B & B ripped on.
