The Simpsons Season 1 on DVD

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the glad-to-see-it dept.

Don Calamari writes "Confirmed from Fox, season one of the Simpsons are going to be released in a DVD boxed set on September 25. This has been a big week for Homer with this and his legendary catch phrase DOH! finally being added to the Oxford English dictionary." The 13 episode season will be only like $40. I don't think the show hit it's stride until 2nd or 3rd seasons, but still, shows like this deserve to be released on DVD. I'm irritated with the decision not to show the actors recording voices. Screw the illusion of the characters, this is what DVD releases of TV shows are for! The fans crave this stuff!

  1. Actors "behind the scenes" by boinger · · Score: 5
    You know, they might just not have much footage worthy of a DVD from that far back. It certainly wasn't the phenomenon that it became around season 3 or so.

    I'm just hoping they release the alternate endings to "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" (They had several alternates animated so that no one could leak what the real ending was - or so rumor has it).

  2. Behind the Scenes by Narag · · Score: 5

    Honestly, I don't want to see the behind the scenes voice acting. I enjoy the illusion that Taco seemingly doesn't. I feel the same with Slashdot. I sure as hell don't want to see behind-the-scenes footage of CmdrTaco posting a news story or see Jon Katz in his underwear posting yet another article about geeks.

  3. Doh defined by Espen · · Score: 5
    "Doh--Expressing frustration at the realization that things have turned out badly or not as planned, or that one has just said or done something foolish. Also (usu. mildly derog.): implying that another person has said or done something foolish (cf. DUH int.)." OED

    The first quote is from 1952, but the main credit in the etymology goes to Dan Castellaneta. First uttered by the character Homer in Punching Bag, broadcast on 27 Nov. 1988 as part of the Tracey Ullman Show.

    Thats the thing though ... you prolly really haven't seen all the episodes 2 or 3 times ... Usually in syndication (not always though) they pick "the best" episodes and only show those...

    A good example is the andy griffith show, of which I think a little under 120 episdoes were made, but they only show 15 or 20 in syndication.
