'A Simpson on a T-shirt. I never thought I'd see the day.' So remarks Marge Simpson in 'Dancin' Homer,' just one of 22 mostly classic episodes that comprise this series' brilliant second season. The Simpsons by that time was already a pop culture phenomenon, but instead of suffering a sophomore slump, this iconoclastic animated series was just hitting its stride. Series milestones include: first Oscar®-winning guest voice (an unbilled Dustin Hoffman in 'Lisa's Substitute'), first Beatle guest voice (Ringo in 'Brush with Greatness'), first 'Treehouse of Horror' Halloween episode, first flashback episode ('The Way We Was,' in which Homer meets Marge), and the first episode to make me cry (Bart's last frolic with obedience school washout Santa's Little Helper in 'Bart's Dog Gets an F'). It's in this season the The Simpsons really finds its voice. The writing is sharper, and the upending of sitcom convention more subversive. 'Perhaps there is no moral to this story,' observes Lisa at the end of 'Blood Feud.' 'Exactly,' agrees Homer. 'Just a bunch of stuff that happens.'
In the first season, Bart was the series' breakout star, but in the second, The Simpsons established itself as a true ensemble series. Each character came into their own with career-best episodes. Marge, the family's long-suffering voice of reason, crusades against cartoon violence in 'Itchy & Scratchy & Marge.' Lisa, the heart and tortured soul of the series, develops an ill-fated crush on her new teacher in 'Lisa's Substitute.' Bart desperately tries to raise the money to buy Radioactive Man No. 1 in 'Three Men and a Comic Book.' Homer's stock rises when he grows hair in 'Simpson and Delilah.' Joining the Simpsons roster of scene-stealing supporting characters are Dr. Hibbert ('Bart the Daredevil'), shyster lawyer Lionel Hutz (voiced by the late, great Phil Hartman in 'Bart Gets Hit by a Car'), the Ahnold-esque action hero McBain ('The Way We Was'), slobbering aliens Kang and Kodos ('Treehouse of Horror'), and 'nutty professor' Frink ('Old Money'). This essential, extras-laden DVD set is illustrative of why The Simpsons is, in the parlance of Comic Book Guy, funniest show ever. --Donald Liebenson

Rating:  - Counter attack boredom
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: - Another Classic
As for what is now and forever be classic television, the Simpsons are on the top. The first season was a bit choppy and underdeveloped and with this season it is easy to see that things are starting to come together and that the writers and animators are working the bugs out.
The high point of season two, the real reason to make sure that you own it is that this seasons begins the annual tradition that is the "Treehouse of Horror" specials that have always been amazingly done. This particular episode gives us the amazing creation of the Simpsons doing "The Raven" as read by the great James Earl Jones. It is worth the price if just for that.
Rating: - The Simpsons 2nd
Great Dvd's, Great Episode.
NOTE: They did not cut out the scene of homer falling down a second time. That scene was not in the original airing. In the Simpsons first clip show, the clip of homer falling down a second time was added. Watch the commentary for the clipshow on the season four DVD, and you'll see.
Rating: - Simpsons 2
Super funny adult cartoon! These earlier seasons are far better than the current Simpsons! We love the show & the earlier seasons are our favorites! Be the judge if you want to let your kiddies watch. The box set is nicely done & fits great on the shelf. A must have for anyone with a sense of humor!
Rating: - Classic episodes
I think everything has been said already about how great these early Simpsons shows are. My tip for finding out the list of episodes on the set is to go to the wikipedia page "The Simpsons (season 2)" (or season 3, whatever), and scroll down to the list of episodes, with descriptions. I do think it would be nice if you could find this info on Amazon (just like the track list for a CD) but this is one alternative.
Do watch this DVD, though, as it is excellent. "Bart's Dog Gets An F" reminds me of my dog. :D
