why don't they do a "best of the Simpsons" DVD? with maybe 20 of the better episodes? Other than that I love this series and will be sad when it finally goes off the air. Hope the movie does them justice.

i don't know, i like the premise but it just falls apart. the best one is the mansion family which is funny as anything. however the other 3 are only so so. personally matt [groening] should do what seth macfarlane did to family guy with the FREAKIN' SWEET COLLECTION and release like an 8 or 10 episode disc with the best ones on their. That would be perfect. i would recommend it but the fact that it only has 4 episodes on it is a bit of a rip. sorry, but other than this the simpson kick a$$!

I got this at the end of September. I had a playback problem after the couch gag on Episode 3: The Mansion Family.

The DVD is good with some good episodes, which are not available yet on ANY Simpsons DVD Season Set!! 3 of the episodes are from 1999, 2000, and 2001, and will take a long while before they get released on a Full Season Set!! It contains 4 episodes, and 1 extra feature featurette. The sound is pretty good, even though it is just Stereo sound, and the picture quality is excellent. This DVD is mainly for the people who don't collect the Simpson Season Sets, and just want to see acouple of various episodes from time-to-time, when there is nothing else on TV. The only thing that I think this DVD should have had was 1 to 2 more episodes on the disc, otherwise the DVD is very good, and has the possibility of multiple repeat viewings!!

I hate to admit I do not watch much T.V. at all, but I love R.E.M. and wanted to see the episode where they made a guest appearance so I picked up this 4 episode disk. Although R.E.M.'s appearance consisted of a partial performace of "Its the End of the World as I know It (and I feel fine)" and a few lines by each member of the band, I think it was worth it. The performance just picked up so much of the band's personality (Homer telling them it was a benefit to save the rainforest to get them to perform in his garage turned bar from Stipe wanting to wack Homer with a broken beer bottle when the deception is discovered and being told that was not the R.E.M. way, to recycling the broken bottle bits). It was a little freaky how much the cartoon depictions resembled Stipe, Mills and Buck.

So if you are an R.E.M. fan this is a disk to pick up as it is just so funny (if not brief) and such a parady of the persona the band was dripping at the time.
