Trying too hard, becoming too 'wacky'.......2007-12-23

I've loved the Simpson's since the first time it was broadcast many many moons ago, and have watched it evolve from being the average American family, to what is now a series of episodes were the producers have just tried too hard. I received the first edition of The Simpson's Christmas a few years ago as a present and was made up with it - classic, varied episodes. Unfortunately with vol.2, this trend doesn't follow, because its 4 'new' episodes (post 1999, when the producing team changed) that are just too wacky and un-real.
I know The Simpsons is a cartoon and that it shouldn't have to be lifelike. But it has become a cause for outrageous events happening that don't make sense, or simply aren't funny. And then their are jokes that only Americans will find funny, if the subject matter is not present in the UK (ie. actors i've never even heard of etc).
'Homer vs. Dignity' is probably the silliest episode, in which Mr Burns hires Homer to become his 'monkey' for making him do pranks... 'Skinners sense of Snow' is actually a great episode that feels more like a classic episode because of its strong plot... But the 2 last episodes; 'Dude wheres my ranch' and 'Tis the 15th season' only give the odd jokes.
I'm not a kill-joy, I just don't find the new Simpsons formulae that funny. And i'm not the only one..

Great DVD from the best comedy family on TV.......2005-01-22

As a huge, huge fan of the Simpsons this isn't THE best DVD from them but you still can't say it's bad! It feature the new episodes which are not as good as the older classic episodes (series 4-9) and this does effect the quality. Not as many laughs as some of the other DVD's but still, it's THE SIMPSONS!!!

CHRISTMAS WITH THE SIMPSONS!!!.......2004-12-29

This DVD is far better than the first simpsons christmas. I dont have SKY 1 so these episodes were something new to me.But it has a lame special feature,a multi-angle animation & animatic footage 4 act 1 of Tis is the fifteenth season.

"Homer vs. dignity",the 1st episode was hilarious! Instead of giving Homer a pay raise mr.Burns pays him to be his "prank monkey" to perform funny public acts for his own personal amusement.

In the second episode, "Skinner`s sense of snow" a blizzard traps the students in school. The children take over the school & go wild! will Homer & Ned be able to save them? find out!

The 3rd episode "Dude, where`s my ranch?" is my 3rd favourite episode of ALL TIME! I was laughing ALL THE WAY THROUGH! this episode, quite rare for a new episode & a christmas special. Homer writes a hate song about Ned flanders which hits #1. So sick of his own creation Homer & the family holiday at a ranch where lisa falls in love & Homer & Bart battle beavers!

In the finally,"Tis is the fifteenth season" homer spends his entire xmas bonus on himself.When he whatches "Mr McGrew`s christmas carol on T.V. he vows 2 change his ways. He becomes the nicest guy in town.Ned becomes jealous & trys 2 outdo Homer.

Overall I`d say this is a very good DVD with a good selection of episodes its worth its money so order it NOW!

The Great new DVD.......2004-12-05

I believe that this DVD is fantastic. Its the 2nd version of old DVD Christmas with the Simpsons. The episodes are new and they are:

Homer vs Dignity ***** (BEST EPISODE)
Skinner's sense of snow ***
Dude Whers my Ranch ***
Tis' the fifteenth season ****

I think Christmas II would be the perfect Christmas gift.

Good but not that good.......2004-11-11

In my opinion the new episodes aren't that great, I didn't think they were that funny and I lost interest after 10 mins! Buy Family Guy!
