I was very CAREFUL with mine, and but when I opened it, the glue that hold the disc holders in place was non existant. So, I'd rather go with the box than cheap plastic and non-glued disc holders.

Yeah I know if it's spread over 10 years it's doesn't seem bad, hell I'm gonna end up doing it too probably with South Park probably not the Simpsons since they are on twice a day. But won't you end up looking at your shelf one day and say "wow, I spent almost a thousand bucks on this collection."

Me. Besides, $40 (30 the week of release) a season compared to other shows like Star Trek, or Buffy or Lost that goes for $80-100 a season isnt bad at all.

I'm getting sick of the inconsistency.

the Frank Grimes episode is my all time favorite Simpsons. I'll definitely be going with the non head-case packaging

Better known as Grimey I think... only seen the episode once in the late 90s but for some unknown reason I remembered that name. Must have been a good episode.

how many seasons are there

Personally I a partial to the head box, but the other one is cool.  Good season too.  For me, I have seen one bad episode in the entire 17 years it has been on (the one with 50 Cent....dear god that was horrible).  I have laughed at every episode and can easily quote at least one line from every episode.  I am proud to be a fan.  I have not missed an episode (first run) in 17 years and I don't plan on starting anytime soon.  I also plan on seeing the movie and I will probably see it multiple times too.  I love this show!  Keep the sets coming I will buy them.

Love the artwork on the side.  "Yep, there's your answer fishbulb!"

And of course, Homer'e enemy.

Standard artwork added...

Thank God! duuduudduddudu *does victory dance*

Does that then mean you've got images of the non-limited edition box? or not?

This is one of my favorite seasons of The Simpsons! Hurricane Neddy, The Mysterious Voyage Of Our Homer, The Springfield Files, Mountain Of Madness, Brother From Another Series, My Sister, My Sitter, Homer's Enemy! And look! Region 2 is available for preorder And it's coming out eleven days before Region 1! http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/1015326/The_Simp...

I'm a sucker for weird complex boxes.

They just seem to get touchy when we display the non-limited edition packaging for some reason.

Why with the head-cases? Who thought that would be a good idea? They're flimsy, poorly held together, and all around just a bad idea. I'll probably stick with them until the 10'th season or so. Nothing past the 11'th for sure.  

Time untill Tom is asked to take down the images for copyright reasons Fox didn't think through...10...9...8..

I hope they use heads for the rest of the seasons up until the show, if ever, ends.  It's a neat idea and gives otherwise boring box sets a fun twist.  Of course this set will be purchased, just got to keep up with them and if their not on sale, they can get expensive.

Even after all these years I think the quality of the show has been maintained.  Sure, like any sitcom, some episodes are better or more inventive than others.  I haven't watched an episode yet out of the 15 years its been on that I didn't laugh at least a few times.  

So Fox can churn them out as long as possible.  With a revolving door of writers and ever changing world political or moral climate, there should be plenty of material to keep it going for a while.  Hell, even if the cast gets too expensive, fire them and get imitators.  You can't tell me that they couldn't find someone out there who sounds like Bart.  They've done for just about every other cartoon, so what's the BFD?

The only thing that prevents me from owning all the television series I want on DVD is money. I mean, honestly, you have to have a lot of extra cash to own all your favorites on DVD. Right now all I buy is Curb Your Enthusiasm, LOST, Scrubs, Family Guy, and The Office. I couldn't afford to start another series, and I'm one of those people who cant just buy a couple seasons and have an incomplete collection. I'm anal like that I guess.

this'll prob be the last simpsons season I buy... at least at full price

This one has the John Waters cameo?... SOLD. (as if I wasnt going to buy it anyway). They should have asked him to do a commentary track, I'm sure he wouldnt care. Looking forward to the Mommie Dearest commentary.

All of them. I'll buy all of them. Dips in quality aside, it dumps over every other animated comedy going. Family Guy?! PAH!

im gonna get this regardless, ive started getting em and I aint stopping now, but I wonder when the R2 version is released...probably at least 2 months after this one

i just last week bought season three, which completed my collection of the current complete seasons, so i'm very very excited for this. in fact... i've been looking for any info on this for ages.. I woke up this morning thinking "hm, I wonder if today's the day?" and it was.

i know a lot of people are saying that this is the last set they'll buy. not me, I will have 'em all on my shelf.. and likely a shelf specifically dedicated to the simpsons. guaranteed any episode has a joke that is funny (even the new ones), granted some suck... but it's the simpsons, we should cut them some slack.
at least no one can say they're doing a botch job on these season sets.

What the f**k, August 15th? That's the end of summer. F**king Fox.

This is my final season. Show went way down hill after this one. And I wish they would make up their minds about the boxes....

WOw I am surprised I got first post, I am GONNA buuy this for sure simpsons rock, however I dont much care for the head boxes hope there will be an alternate box
