I have the 2nd season DVD set already, and just saw the Amazon has the 1st season for $27.99 now. I heard that the first season wasn't as funny as the later two, but I am a big Simpsons fan....so I really want to get this set especially at this price. WHat do you guys think? Is this a good deal?
Should I buy "The Simpsons" The complete 1st season DVD?

The first season was sketchy, no pun intended.
(just download some eps on bit torrent first to see if you like it, and if you do then buy it)

I never understand the bit torrent thing. Is the whole season sketchy or just the first few episodes?
Btw....Amazon starts charging tax now? :Q

The whole season wasn't up to par with the later stuff, like all TV material for the most part. The animation wasn't anything to write home about either. Bit torrent is pretty simple, just google that suprnova.org thing-a-ma-jig. 
Nah, I don't even have DVD+-RW Drive....so that's not an option for me.
Doesn't the DVDRW technology still have problem with certain format and capacity?

The capacity issue should be remedied early this year with the advent of dual layer burners. Format isn't an issue if you choose a dual format drive.
It's not that bad. There are a few good episodes on there, and you learn a little bit about the show listening to the audio commentary tracks. If you're a big fan like me, you shouldn't be without it. Be warned though, that the first season started late and only 13 original episodes aired that year, so you won't be getting as many episodes as you did on the season 2 set. You might enjoy season 3 more, as the series really starts to hit its stride during the third season.

I'm a huge fan so I will probably get all the DVD's. I have seasons 1 and 2 now. It's a good thing to ask for around X-MAS or a birthday. Good gift for people who don't like to spend much.
I got the Season 1 DVD on Black Friday for $12. I've watched my season 2 and 3 DVDs to death, but have only watched the season 1 DVD twice.
The states are complaining these days about not getting their sales taxes. Technically, any out-of-state mail-order/telephone/catalog/e-tailer is (and always was) supposed to collect applicable sales tax for whatever state the retail buyer is in, but it's always been a real pain in the butt for businesses to keep track of, and in the past, states didn't have any mechanism to collect sales taxes from out of state business anyway, so it's been allowed to slide in the past, sort of by default if you will.
These days, computerization and better information communication technologies are changing the old ways, and the free ride we've all enjoyed is coming to an end. The larger retailers (AKA, the easier targets in eventual lawsuits from individual states) are starting to collect sales tax now. The way I see things going, eventually (maybe soon) everybody's going to be collecting sales taxes for all the states. (Shoot! I better get my orders in to Newegg and Crutchfield soon then, huh?)

I am a fanatical fan, but elected not to buy Season 1 or Season 2, since I never watch those shows in reruns. I have Season 3 and will buy all the other sets.
im a huge simpsons fan and i have all three.
it was said prior, but the first 2 seasons are okay. it really gets rolling in season 3 and peaks in seasons 4 and 5.

The first season's DVDs are interesting because the commentary has a lot of info on the introduction of different characters, locales, etc. as well as lots of stories about the problems they ran into when they were first producing & animating the show. I'd buy it if you are a fan of the series.

<-- Ditto, plus the other 12 seasons on my hard drive, awaiting time to burn
if you are a simpsons fan, there is only one real course of action: owning all the seasons on DVD.
You can get Season 1 for really cheap now. I think even ebay has em for less than $20 for Season 1.

the pinnacle of the simpsons has to be from like 3-8. Granted there are really funny eps in the later seasons, but again, best eps were from 3-8ish

Hell yeah. I have been a huge fan of the series since the Tracy Ullman shorts, and I agree that 3-8 were the funniest to me. All the seasons had their moments, but those seasons were the most solid.
