Amazon.co.uk Review

Even as we arrive at season ten, these Simpsons DVD boxsets remain irresistible. Put together comprehensively and with real care, this latest release upholds the standard for terrific (and many) DVD extras to back up and complement the episodes themselves.

Season ten of The Simpsons features 23 episodes, spread across four discs, and there are some belters contained within. "Lard Of The Dance", for instance, finds Homer and Bart trying to steal and sell grease, against the backdrop of Lisa???s school dance. "Lisa Gets An ???A???" meanwhile sees the Simpsons??? eldest daughter getting addicted to videogames, while "Mayored To The Mob" throws in Mark Hamill and a science fiction convention. Quite brilliant stuff.

The lazy argument though is that by season ten, The Simpsons was on the slide, but there???s plenty of compelling evidence in this boxset to counter that. Sure, not every episode???s a classic, but there are a lot of laughs and much entertainment to be gleamed here.

Furthermore, when you factor in the commentaries, deleted scenes, sketch gallery and look at the upcoming film, once again the stops have been pulled off for a distinguishable TV collection. Again, The Simpsons--in more than one sense--sets the standard that the others look up to. --Jon Foster

We are not going to go on and on about how great this season is but it is really, really good.
If you watch the Simpsons religiously on the telly then you will have seen all the episodes before, but that's not why we buy them. We buy them because we love them! because they make us laugh! and because we can watch them when we want.
If your a true fan you don't need telling because you have this season boxset already, but if your curious, buy this season on DVD and you'll soon be patiently waiting for the next season to be released.
Three and a half stars and half a great season - Reviewed on 2008-02-03

The otherwise very sympathetic Mike Scully, who ran "The Simpsons" for something like four seasons, has been criticized for turning the show into "a cartoon". And rightly so, apparently.
I have all the first nine seasons of "The Simpsons", and yes, it is some of the greatest, cleverest, pointiest American television ever produced. And the first ten episodes of season ten are really funny as well, although it becomes clear that from around episode five, the characters no longer have the same depth to them; they become more cliched and, yes, cartoonish. Perhaps that's when the holdover episodes ran out or something.

I'm looking at the list of season ten episodes right now, and episode ten of season ten is the last really funny, really clever episode of the season. Sorry guys, but it is. You can't honestly tell me that you think 'Marge Simpson in: "Screaming Yellow Honkers"' and "Mom and Pop Art" is up there with "Krusty Gets Kancelled" or "Bart of Darkness".

Halfway through season ten is where the Simpsons stopped being something truly special. Surprisingly few really clever and funny episodes can still be found scattered throughout the following seasons, but season nine was the last great Simpsons season, and season ten is the last DVD set I'm going to buy. It's half a great season, and it's worth getting, but season ten is also where "The Simpsons" lost it.

Ya know with every Simpsons Box that comes out someone inevitably dubs it the "last great season" and proclaims everything since has gone downhill. Sure the recent dependency on "celebrity" appearances is a little worriesome, but I get these old moaners are a little like the comic book guy!

Three things to remember

1) It's a cartoon
2) It's not life or death
3) It's funny

So if you wanna laugh buy it, if you want to moan about it...don't!
