"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

Hello, Joe! I turned 10 halfway through this season and even though I remember loving the first one, this second season and the third have most nostalgic magic in my memory. Reminds me of going to visit relatives and watching Simpsons during Thanksgiving or Christmas with the family (before the show got too preachy after season 10) and us genuinely laughing at the animated hilarity together. It was something I'm glad to have in my heart, and the Simpsons were the emulsifier and the ice breaker for meeting many new friends along my life. A good barometer for people was to watch an episode of the Simpsons with them. If they didn't like it, chances were our personalities were just too different. Unfortunately this trick only worked within the confines of the first 10 seasons, after that they become aimless and a bit contrived. From now on, the baby sleeps in the crib.

When I ordered this used copy I thought"hmmm, should I get used?" but when I opened it "WOW!" was my reaction. Barely used is what they should have called it. Each disk was in perfect shape and the case is immaculate! Thanks!

I love the Simpsons and I love this season but the voices just don't sound the way they do now. You can really tell that Marge's voice is much higher and Homers voice sounds a little deeper and Bart and Lisa just sound a little bit different to me. I still enjoy it and I still think it's funny.

The second season of The Simpsons was great in 1990 and it's still great today! Some of the most memorable old school Simpsons moments are there. I do love the old "Stupid Homer" so much more than the current "Insane Homer". He used to be a big lovable stupid dog, now he's just crazy.

The creators of the Simpsons really began to hit their stride with this season. Every episode is a winner, but for me the standouts are "Lisa's Substitute" (Dustin Hoffman's voices a substitute teacher that replaces Homer in Lisa's affections), "Three Men and a Comic Book" (Bart, Millhouse, and Martin buy an issue of Radioactive Man #1, then cannot trust each other alone with it in a hilarious nod to the classic "Treasure of the Sierra Madre"), "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge" (any episode with Itchy & Scratchy is great, but here Marge forces them to become kinder, gentler characters), and "Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish" (Mr. Burns may be the funniest character on the show).
