4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but maybe not the best, August 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Best of The Simpsons, Boxed Set 1 (1997) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

If you're a true blue (or yellow) SIMPSONS fan (like me) then you'll have to get this set just to be complete. However I think the show was funnier after they got the dog and Homer got stupider and less angry. If you feel the same way you might want to consider volumes 2, 3, and 4. Still and all this ain't a bad deal. I like "There's No Disgrace Like Home" (Homer: "When will I learn? The answers to life's problems aren't at the bottom of a bottle . . . They're on T.V.!")

If you ever find yourself doubting that The Simpsons is the best show ever, I want you to hit yourself. This boxed set is the beginning of the best show to ever grace the television screen. It is a must have for any true Simpsons fan.
