This The Simpsons Season 2 DVD set brings home all 22 episodes of the 1990-91 Fox season, the year Springfield's first family became a ratings giant. It runs from "Bart Gets an 'F'" to "Blood Feud" and includes the first "Treehouse of Horror."
You will receive a brand-new copy of The Complete Second Season. As a DVD, it plays in standard DVD players and in Blu-ray players.
The Simpsons follows Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie in the town of Springfield. Created by Matt Groening and developed with James L. Brooks and Sam Simon, it went on to become the longest-running American scripted primetime series.
The season premiere, "Bart Gets an 'F'," drew an estimated 33.6 million viewers, the most-watched Fox episode at the time. "Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish" was produced first but aired second, and "Three Men and a Comic Book" was the only episode that season to beat The Cosby Show in the ratings.
Other highlights include "Simpson and Delilah," "One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish," "The Way We Was" and the very first "Treehouse of Horror" Halloween anthology.
"Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment" won the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program (for Programming Less Than One Hour). The season was also nominated for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy at the TCA Awards.
With the most-watched Fox episode of its time and an Emmy winner, this is one of the key early seasons of the show. Owning it on disc means these early episodes are always ready to watch, with no streaming service needed. Our physical media vs streaming guide explains why discs still win.

Da Pimpsons!
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.

Before the show began to sink
The program review– The second season of the Simpsons, is not the best season, but certainly is better than the first season and MUCH better than any Simpsons’ season after the 8th season.
Like the first season, you can see the social sarcasm about the “American Way-of-Life”; in this season, you can see a better character development than the fisrt, for example, in this season appears a “Not so stupid” Homer (and i like this Homer more than the Today Homer), Marge is, well, the same Marge, Lisa became the most deep character of all the family, Bart is the same Bart (but who would want to see him changed??).
Here you find a bunch of great stories and a better animation than the first season.
The DVD review– I recommend the Season Set in region 4 over the region 1, because the region 4 have everything from the region 1 (except perhaps the little booklet), plus the Spanish and Portuguesse audio track, then if you like the Mexican-Spanish version of the Simpsons, then buy it in Region 4.
I would like that in this collection appeared the “Intel” commercial, but i guess the Fox guys are keeping it for another season set.
If you’re a classic Simpsons fan (like me), you will love this set

“As the Only Adult Here, I Feel I Should Say Something…”
COOL! (Name the character and episode of that hysterical line.) Plenty has been said about the technical aspects of this DVD set, both good and bad. Personally I find the color and focus suspect. But all hardcore Simpsons fanatics should let these limitations slide because you may not be seeing the forest for the trees. Here we have the full second season of the Simpsons, and this was the season when the show really took off. Of course during the first season the Simpsons, and especially Bart, became a cultural phenomenon. But the show itself was still developing, with the animators and voice actors still ironing out the kinks of the classic Simpsons style. In this second season, not only are the animation and voices solidified, but you can see the writing and characterizations getting better with each passing episode. Bart was moving into a more complex and subversive brand of hell-raising, the true depths of Lisa’s strange intelligence were coming to the fore, and Homer most of all was becoming deeper and more quotable. Also notice that this season was when Homer started to surpass Bart as the true star of the series. The second season gave us great classic episodes like “Oh Brother Where Art Thou” (first appearance of Unky Herb), and the politically subversive “Itchy & Scratchy & Marge.” A surprising amount of emotional power, which would later become standard for the show, is revealed in “Bart Gets an F” where Bart shows true vulnerability, and “Lisa’s Substitute” in which we start to plumb the depths of Lisa’s character.
Some editing seems to have taken place with these episodes, showing that we are watching post-syndication versions. The most blatant example is the deletion of a scene from “Bart the Daredevil” – that being the second time Homer falls down Springfield Gorge. This may be anathema to superfanatics. The DVD extras still contain a few throwaways but are generally better than the first season package. Included are the two videos from the “Simpsons Sing the Blues” album, which are reminders of what a huge cultural phenomenon the Simpsons were back at the beginning of the 90’s. The best bonus offering is an interview with Matt Groening in which he describes the inspirations for the characters and the philosophy behind the show.

The “General Sherman” of Simpson DVD collections
I am a huge fan of the Simpsons, and I especially enjoyed seasons 2-5, so of course I think this is an outstanding collection.
All the episodes from season 2 are here in their original form, meaning they have extra scenes that were cut for syndication. The video and audio are outstanding, as one would expect from DVD. In addition to the episodes, there are a bunch of special features and clips, including music videos, an interview with James L. Brooks and Matt Groening, and the Simpsons Emmy appearance. Better still, each episode has additional audio tracks, including commentary by the directors, writers, Groening, and other Simpsons honchos. I bought the set for the episodes, but the commentary tracks are interesting enough to warrant occasional viewing.
Season 2 has the greatest number of the definitive Simpsons episodes: Treehouse of Horror, Bart Gets Hit by a Car, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, Three Men and a Comic Book… the list goes on and on. These are the first episodes for Lionel Hutz, Dr. Nick Riviera, the comic book store guy… it doesnt get much better. The only problem with the DVD set is the annoying menu interface when you first start each disc.
The outstanding video and audio quality, along with a plethora of added features, make this DVD collection a must-own for new and old Simpsons fans alike.

Buy it for The Simpsons, not the features
There’s really not a whole lot to say about this DVD collection; there are plenty of episode guides already out there (I particularly recommend the “Simpsons Forever” series) so there’s not much point in me rehashing on an episode-by-episode basis. Suffice it to say that this set includes all of the shows from season two of The Simpsons, as well as a few “extras”. I put the extras in quotes, because they are a bonus in name only; like its predecessor, this disc has no particularly interesting special features.
In fact, the so-called extras consist of a few Butterfinger commercials, some embarrassingly bad footage of the Bartman video, and a hodge-podge of old promotional materials. There are also “director commentaries, but a significant portion of those tracks are taken up by Matt Groening et al either a. laughing, or b. quietly enjoying their work.
Ultimately, what this set comes down to is the episodes. They look and sound fantastic, and they contain a lot of material that hasn’t shown up in syndication for years. The series really hit its stride in the second season: the characters are more clearly defined and start to sound “normal”, the animation improves drastically, and the humor becomes much more sophisticated. For these reasons alone, the set is more than worth owning, especially to a die-hard fan. But the fact of the matter is that Fox has been incredibly lazy about assembling these compendiums; considering the overwhelming lack of additional features, there’s no reason why they shouldn’t have twice as many seasons out by now. I think most fans would be more than happy to buy each season without any extra features, and pay a little less, especially considering the extras are pretty lame to begin with.
To conlude: buy this because you love The Simpons, not because you are a DVD aficionado who loves special features.
Enjoy!
