Movie Reviews of The Simpsons - The Complete First Season
Movie Review: And So It Begins! Too Bad About the Picture Quality Though!
Summary: 3 Stars
Some of the best ever episodes of "The Simpsons" are included here as the reason this entire franchise has been so successful is for me because of the intelligent script and the genius of James L Brooks. The drawings of the characters are naturally raw as they are not the finished product that we have become used to over the years but this is alright given the quality of the gags and the great story-telling. These episodes though have been transferred from a poor videotape master as we frequently get the shimmering, crooked lines that you get on a bad video when the tape sticks to the playing magnetic head of the player and this is very evident in every episode which took away a great deal from my overall enjoyment of the dvds. I don't remember seeing these when they were screened on tv and so it's unfortunate that for a "Collector's Edition" that we should get such poor dvd picture quality transfer although I have to say the sound quality on Dolby 5.1 surround is pretty good.
Overall, great episodes, sound quality but poor picture quality transfer from what appears to be a videotape with all its inherent limitations.
Summary of The Simpsons - The Complete First Season
The 13 episodes on The Simpsons - The Complete First Season are: "Some Enchanted Evening," "Bart the Genius," "Homer's Odyssey," "There's No Disgrace Like Home," "Bart the General," "Moaning Lisa," "The Telltale Head," "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire," "Call of the Simpsons," "Homer's Night Out," "Life in the Fast Lane," "Krusty Gets Busted," and "The Crepes of Wrath."America's first family of dysfunction, the Simpsons, appear in all their depraved glory in this wonderful DVD compilation of their show's premiere season. Fans accustomed to the slick appearance of the later episodes will be delighted by the rougher nature of these earlier episodes, when the characters weren't as well defined (Homer isn't quite as dumb as he is in later seasons) and the animation was still evolving. This only adds to the charm of these 13 episodes, which begin with "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire," the December 1989 Christmas special in which a down-and-out Simpson family adopt Santa's Little Helper. Throughout the season, familiar faces are introduced, as we catch first glimpses of Smithers, Mr. Burns, the Flanderses, and Patty and Selma. Highlights of the season include "The Crepes of Wrath," in which Bart is sent to France as an exchange student ("Don't mess up France the way you messed up your room"); "Bart the Genius," in which Bart ends up in a school for the gifted; and "Krusty Gets Busted," in which Bart's lifelong animosity with Sideshow Bob begins. --Jenny Brown
