Summary: Un-Developed, Still Expriencing, Still Great
Review: Watching this brings me back really far as I first watched the Simpsons. Their voices have not been fully mastered yet. You can tell by listening to Homer. His has changed the most since this to the modern Simpsons. Bart was the closest to what we are having today. Even though the animation and voice is not, you still would not stop because once you start watching, the story will hook you into the story and more you want to watch it. Simpsons story line is even better than what we have right now, too bad they never made a Simpsons movie. Bart the trouble maker had alot of great story line demonstrating how adolescence troubles are, like how he dealt with being so called genius (Bart the Genius), also how he dealt with the bullie of the school (Bart the general), also how Lisa is going through her thing when she feels nobody understands her (Moaning Lisa), also stuff concerning Homer and Marge and abou t their family, Simpsons is also funny, even in this primitive stage. This is probably America's most favorite past time show and its for people of all ages.

Visual: A-
Sound: B+
Story Line: A+
Rewatch Value: A

Summary: Good Times.
Review: Watched the first season during the weekend and enjoyed. I purchased the second and third season. Here in the first season you can see how the Simpson's were when they first came out on stage. I am a fan from now on.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Simpsons - The Complete First Season = Classsic!!!!!!!!
Review: First of all, I would like to say this season is very very oddly animated, NOTHING like todays work. The episodes are just not funny and evryone and everything looks and sounds weird. But I cant deny the fact this is what started "The Simpsons" these episodes are classics, though they are nowhere near as extreme as they are today NO WAY! But nevertheless this is a very cool season to own and I reccomend to any simpsons fan that this is one season you should NOT forget , you will regret it!, though I really despise the odd animation and voices. Oh Well this is ''my'' season 1990 but it is very odd,

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Huzzah! Simpsons on DVD!
Review: Now we finally have the first season of the show on DVD. While the episodes may not be as they are now, animation and story-wise, there are still a lot of good eps ("Life on the Fast Lane," "Moaning Lisa," "Krusty Gets Busted") The audio commentaries are great if you really want to get into the show, which I do. Most interesting and frightening are clips from the original first episode "Some Enchanted Evening." This is not the episode from TV. This is the horrendously animated first attempt at the show. Optional audio commentary includes the creators screaming in horror. Buy it and see for yourself! And at this rate, we'll have all the seasons on DVD by 2015.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Must have for any true fan
Review: I'm a huge Simpsons fan and my girlfriend knows it, she gave me this first season as a recent Valentine's Day gift, and in about 3 days, I've watched the whole set. The episodes are great, classic Simpsons.

BUT, keep in mind, that this is the first season and the animations are a bit amateur'ist. Not as sharp as they are now. But the jokes are still there and at about the 4th or 5th episode, things start to sharpen up, and once you get to the second DVD (it's a 3 DVD set)it won't even matter anymore because it does improve.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Wait at least for the 3rd season.
Review: I am a huge fan of the Simpsons but the first season is crudely drawn with poor writing and a huge lack of any funny jokes. The Simpsons did not start pumping out great episodes until the the 3rd season and reached perfection around the 4th or 5th season. Although this first season brings back memories, it's just plain not entertaining, much like Seinfeld, another show that turned out to be one of the 2 best shows of all time along with the Simpsons, had a horrible first season. I suggest you skip this DVD.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The First Season
Review: The First Season is a decent season. But, there are a couple good episodes here. (My favorite being Bart the General)The DVD 's are good, although they should have put more than one Tracey Ullman Short. Here are my ratings for each episode:

Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire - B
Bart the Genius - A-
Homer's Odyssey - D+
There's No Disgrace Like Home - B+
Bart the General- A+
Moaning Lisa - B (Only worth watching for Homer Trying to beat Bart in a boxing video game)
Call of the Simpsons - B
The Telltale Head - B+
Life on the Fast Lane- B
Homer's Night Out - C-
The Crepes of Wrath - B-
Krusty Gets Busted - B+
Some Enchanted Evening - B

So there we have it. All 13 crudely animated episodes. It's only 4 stars because of almost no special features and decent episodes. Buy the Second,Third, and Fourth Season (when it comes out, It will be a long wait like usual) Those are great seasons. This is a good addition to any DVD collection and Diehard fans

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Go home little children...
Review: This is a web-site for people who are old enough to have a credit card.

I grew up on the Simpsons ever since they first aired in Australia in 1990 and have grown up with the show and sad as it may seem, have grown tired of the new material around 1999 when it appeared to start copying another little animated show that was gaining popularity at the time... I loved the first season as it's all done by hand and it's focus on the show was Bart's escapades, well before the show's creators realized Homer was the star. For those kids who write reviews bad mouthing this season, who were mostly likely being born when the Simpsons show first aired, I say go home. Granted the Simpsons didn't really strike massive genius until season 3-4, the new seasons are much worse than the early ones. How can you not laugh when the Simpsons constantly electrocute each other when they're at Dr. Marvin Monroe's (Remember him?) family therapy center. The Simpsons were less refined but a hell of lot more mature in the early days, and the state of the show today makes this collection capture the times and how much of the show has changed since then.

The DVD rating itself loses a point for a lack of potentially interesting special features when you consider how great the Season 2 package is.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: WHAT WAS THIS!!!!!
Review: What is this!?!?! Homer Simpson acts like Yoge Bear!!!! The animation has to be the worst animation I have ever seen!!!!! Come on!!!! This episodes go nowhere(First it's about Bart wanting a tatto, then it's about getting Christmas money!!!!). The first episode is a chirismas episode!!!!! Why did they start the series with a Christmas episode!!! This is not worth a penny.
It's time FOX kills this show.

Rating: 4 stars
