commentary is on every episode as usual, and the seventh season will be out in december just like last year.
Amen on Fox's "alternative packaging" website taking little shots at "complainers, all those who fear change" and their requirement of "a solemn promise to stop your whining" once the new box is delivered.
I mean, "It won't look pretty on my shelf"? Really? Wahhhh . . sounds like something Grandpa would say. Might as well add "I'm cold and frightened."
Someone needs a good shaking.

Box art and commentaries
Well to tell you the truth, I don't mind the box. I am hoping though for there to be the regular box inside. I like it when companies design special cases (evil dead: book of the dead edition)
However, It's annoying that there aren't commentary tracks on all. Like come on, only 5 or so don't have one. How much effort does it take to record five?

I'm more pissed at the lack of commentaries on some episodes than the bad packaging.
Why is the word gay used in a negative context, when describing something that is not good?
This is the best season. I love every episode of this season.
I guess I'm the only one to like the box.
Who wants to bet "A Confession from Matt Groening" relates to there not being commentary on all episodes anymore?

Email
Why don't people start bombarding FOX with emails about the displeasure with the box? it has worked before... There should be the option of the funky one and the regular box.
Dammit! Still that gay cover. Someone should be fired for that.
Don't care for the cover either, but I guess I should be happy they're at least releasing them still. Seems like it takes forever though. At this rate by the time they get them all out on dvd, we'll probably be on whatever format comes after hd-dvd. 
As for the people who say they can get them free on tv, they cut out parts of the episodes for syndication. So what you're getting for free isn't the entire episode anymore.

it sucks for people like me that work at a store like best buy to put crap like this on the shelf. why can't they keep things simple. a box. thats all.

I'm not liking that cover very much. I hope there is another option.
The cover art is okay although Homer looks completely bald now however I liked the artwork they had been using. It was perfectly fine! Sheesh. This bites.
Yeah, I really hope that the folks saying that this is just an outer shell with the regular box inside are right. Otherwise, this SUCKS.
Still excited aboutt the show though.

WHAT?!
why change the box style now? this is NOT going to look good beside seasons 1-5...

Well it doesn't look too bad and this cover will be something to give the kids if they have the real box inside which is like the other dvds.....
This cover sucks, and it doesn't match the current box sets out at the moment. I don't know which is worse, those horrible Original Star Trek boxes or this one ???
My guess is that sales are slowing down with each subsequent season. This packaging may be designed to create better shelf frontage. I also agree with other posts that the existing box design may sit inside this plastic shell.
NO...NO....NO. Why can't they be consistent with the previous seasons. The artwork for them was terrific! I hate this new look
Terrible, inconsistent cover.
"What in the Hell is that Yellow thing?"
ANNOYING.
Don't the DVD studios realize that people want consistency? Whatever you start doing, you have to finish. Unless I'm surprised to find the normal DVD set inside that matches the other FIVE, I'm going to be pissed. I have so many DVD's and this is going to look like shit on my shelf.

that is crazy
I hate this. Sure, it looks freackin' awesome, but now, in two thousand years, when the show has ended and I have each season on DVD, they won't look all pretty next to each other! I would have loved consistancy. But then again I'm pretty anal.

Of course there's no spine-art! This is the outer shell of the box set.
The actual normal DVD box set is inside this one.
i hope so because i want them all to match up on a shelf

I contacted TVshowsondvd and they said that it will not open up and contain a box that matches the previous five. Now, start yelling and telling me I'm wrong. Seasons 6-10 will be this way aparently, but with different characters.
well the waiting isn't long anymore, last year they released 2 seasons like every other show and it seems they will be doing the same this year.
as for the cover, it's cute and all but they should have done this from the start instead of ruining the "continuity". some people are saying the normal box is inside that but i dont know. i worked at a dvd warehouse and got to open just about every type of box set imaginable and when its cases like these, it's either only the discs or a simply crappy case inside.
the original star trek is a perfect example, inside those capsule like cases was this tiny cd type casing for the discs. i'm pretty sure it'll be the same or similar for this simpson's set as well. it's too bad because i liked the fact they were consitent with the box art and they truly looked like part of the same collection. most tv series on dvd have completely different art and/or style for each season.
if i'm wrong and the regular box IS inside then fine, but i just really doubt it by the shape of that homer head and it's spine.

I like the box, it reminds me of those special packagings Happy Meals came in in the early-mid 80's.
Commentaries=delay
If there wasn't going to be commentaries on every one of the episodes, the sets would be coming out every 2 months. It's the time it takes to record the commentaries and to get the schedule to work because they're busy doing new episodes for the new seasons that makes the wait so long for the sets.
Yeah, it's for sure like the Star Trek sets with an outer box with normal inside. You can even tell ther's a box inside from the shape of it. I like it.

I think it looks cool. It's a nice little incentive for people who don't collect the seasons and a nice bonus for those that do.
I'll be buying it regardless.

I love the Simpsons but not enough to plunk down the money to own every season on DVD. I agree with some of the earlier posts... its on free TV all the time. If I was seriously collecting each season, I would be seriously pissed with the novelty packaging. That type of crap just doesn't look good on the DVD shelf. It may be that I am anal retentive, but I prefer consistency.

Box art!
Man, I've been waiting for this set for so long, but that box art is the ugliest I've seen by far. Seems like they just got lazy regarding artwork. I really hope this thing will look better in front of my own eyes than it does with this picture. Oh well, I'll buy it anyway.
i love this cover!! it EFFIN ROCKS!!!

Which bizarro world version of The Simpsons season sets did you purchase? Every episode I own in every one of the five seasons released so far have contained a commentary track.

Argh. Season 5 just comes out in France this month... I think we can wait till christmas for season 6...
Yes!
This is the season that included the first part of "Who Shot Mr. Burns?", isn't it? We should probably being some good extras, if it is, like that one special done by "America's Most Wanted".
I thought this was coming out on june 14th?
Which ones don't have?

YES!!!!!!!!! but I was hoping it would come out in june
Good! I wish the seasons came out bi-monthly because everytime I get the new season, I get hooked again and want more.
Fantastic news!
YEAH BABY! Season 6 on DVD is just around the corner. God I've been waiting. 2 a year isn't enough. Season 6 and 7 are some of the best, so these are the jokes.
