I just heard the other day that the entire first season is due to be released in a three disc set on the 25th. According to [amazon](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005ML6Y/qid%3D1000880791/ref%3Dsr%5F11%5F0%5F1/107-3566157-0377325) it is currently the second ranking seller. Let’s all do our part to kick it up to #1! And please don’t tell me that I am way behind the times because both me and my brother - two of the hugest fans ever - just found out about this. ---

Man, how bad was that first season? I’d have to say that I watch the Simpsons every day. But if it’s an episode from the first two seasons, I turn the TV off. ---

Same here, I can’t wait for some of the more recent seasons to come out on disc. ---

I agree. The first season or two is just barely watchable. It was bland and had not found its niche yet. That’s where a lot of people got their mistaken ideas that the Simpsons is nothting but “Eat my shorts” and “Don’t have a cow.” Like “Cheers,” I think, the Simpsons gets funnier with each passing season, and the early ones are like a completely different show. ---

I don’t know…the first two seasons had their moments. I liked the episode where Homer got fired and then went on a safety crusade, and I really enjoyed the “Bart Gets an F” episode. ---
