Product ReviewsThe Simpsons - The Complete Third Season (DVD, 2009, 4-Disc Set)

The Simpsons 3rd Season is a definate crowd pleaser!

While the second season DVD release saw a marked visual improvement over the often dodgy first instalment, the advances made here are minimal, if any. While the overall look of the show design-wise continued to improve, what we see on screen is still plagued by the limitations of often down-to-the-wire produced traditional animation. With none of that Frinky computer gear utilised, The Simpsons was strictly a handmade affair (it’s only the 15th season that has seen them move on to digital production) – hand inked backgrounds, painted cels and painstaking shot-by-shot filming. As such the many limitations of the process are on show for all to see. We still get slight colour fluctuations, a surprising amount of small wobbles throughout most every episode of the series and the odd fleck of crud showing from time to time which was obviously there to begin with. As for age effects, all that’s really worthy of note is the occasional minor fleck, although these are not nearly as prevalent as in earlier releases. Some minor examples of aliasing still occur, and generally all is not as clear as you would hope – a quick comparison with the admittedly computer-made Futurama indicates an absolute world of difference in most every respect involving quality.
Still, the colouring is nicely vivid and there are no layer changes to contend with. It may not be as perfect as the show’s many fans who style themselves on Comic Book Guy crave, but it’s better than it looks on TV, and probably as good as we’re ever going to see it.While there’s been no marked quality increase as far as presentation goes – in fact menu-wise we’ve seen a decided back-step save for a bit more functionality – the quality of the 24 episodes on offer here simply cannot be questioned, for there’s not a dud amongst them. Even better is that they include many bits which were shaved off upon airing here by a certain Australian television network we could name. The continued painfully slow crawl at which these are being released must again be brought into question, however; one set per annum just doesn’t cut it – especially when the next one due, season four, is easily the greatest series of The Simpsons produced. We want it now… now, now, now, now, now!

Oh yes, the packaging colour is purple this time around. MMMmmm… purple.Read full review...

Good condition and a great price

For a great price the product was in wonderful condition. There were some signs of use, a few small scratches and a fingerprint but that's much nicer than most DVDs you would get second-hand! It was clearly owned by someone who liked the show, taking care that the box and discs were in good condition for a long time. What a super good person to buy from!Read full review...

Wonderful Show, Wonderful Season, Wonderful Product!

This season of the Simpsons is one of my favorites, with classic episodes such as "Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington", "Bart the Lover", and "Homer at the Bat". My product was pristine as well, and arrived promptly. The third season of the Simpsons is just when the show begins to heat up, entering some of the most beloved episodes of the season's airing. I highly recommend this season to any Simpsons fans or collectors and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.Read full review...
