America's first family of dysfunction, the Simpsons, appear in all their depraved glory in this wonderful DVD compilation of their show's premiere season. Fans accustomed to the slick appearance of the later episodes will be delighted by the rougher nature of these earlier episodes, when the characters weren't as well defined (Homer isn't quite as dumb as he is in later seasons) and the animation was still evolving. This only adds to the charm of these 13 episodes, which begin with 'Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire,' the December 1989 Christmas special in which a down-and-out Simpson family adopt Santa's Little Helper. Throughout the season, familiar faces are introduced, as we catch first glimpses of Smithers, Mr. Burns, the Flanderses, and Patty and Selma. Highlights of the season include 'The Crepes of Wrath,' in which Bart is sent to France as an exchange student ('Don't mess up France the way you messed up your room'); 'Bart the Genius,' in which Bart ends up in a school for the gifted; and 'Krusty Gets Busted,' in which Bart's lifelong animosity with Sideshow Bob begins. --Jenny Brown

Rating:  - Excellent buy
I absolutely love this season, I bought season 1-4 because in my opinion those are the only ones worth having. It is my belief that after season 5 the series went down.
Rating:  - Great if you are obsessed with the Simpsons
Yes, I am addicted to the Simpsons episodes at the moment. My last obsession was Georgia Byng's "Molly Moon" series, but anyway, I luv this at the moment. I recommend the episodes "Moaning Lisa" (Lisa gets depressed and meets a new friend when she hears him playing the blues)"Bart The General" (Bart trains a group of kids to fight against bully Nelson Muntz) and "Some Enchanted Evening" (The "Babysitter Bandit" is hired to look after the Simpson kids and ties up Bart(mouth taped up in his case as well as ropes) and Lisa-Maggie has to untie them!). If you like the Simpsons, this is a must-have! Also watch "Krusty Gets Busted" if you're like me and is a Sideshow Bob fan. I mean, I love the bit in the season eight episode where Bart spies on Bob and Bob sees him and calls out across the dam "Hello, Bart!" then Bart ducks down and Bob says to his brother Cecil "He's just a little shy because I tried to kill him so many times."
GET THIS BOXED DVD SET! I also advise you to get "Treehouse of Horror" episodes, especially the fourth one (Its a Season Five one.)
Rating: - The greatest Adult cartoon ever!
If you have never seen the Simpsons or have only seen the new ones, you simply must see the first few seasons! The Simpsons are hilarious! You will laugh your head off! See what made them such a hit right from the begining! It's love at first watch!
Rating: - This is very funny
I got this for my birthday and even though there are only 13 episodes unlike the other seasons you should still get it. Its very funny.
Rating:  - You Gotta Start Somewhere
I'm a die-hard Simpsons fan. As long as the show airs, I will watch it. Everytime a boxed set is released, I buy it. I am known among my friends for overusing the phrase "this is like that Simpsons episode where..." A Simpsons trivia quiz? Bring it on.
If you're anything like me, then you already own this boxed set, and you're probably just reading this to see why anyone would give your favorite show anything less than five stars. If you're not like me, if you're a casual fan or someone wondering what this boxed set has to offer, then I'll be clear.
The first season of this groundbreaking show contains many memorable Simpsons' moments. The adoption of Santa's Little Helper. The family doses each other with electro-shock therapy. Homer is mistaken for Bigfoot. Sideshow Bob frames Krusty the Clown. And Bart makes Nelson bleed his own blood (a hilarious line that would later be stolen by a film called Dodgeball). It's a funny show; it's a funny season.
This set, though, gives understandably short shrift, especially in light of the bells and whistles that the later sets ended up with. Matt Groening provides some curious insights with commentary on every track, there are a few audio outtakes and scripts you can glance at, and there's even an easter egg that plays an old ABC news item about Bart's unhealthy influence on the dress codes of impressionable young school kids. (Even more amusing, considering where the show went from there.)
