I must say, all of these episodes are superb, and between each one is a 5 minute cartoon from back when the Simpson's was on the Tracy Allman show. This is a must have for the Simpsons fan, although I found it at Wallmart on sale, for way less than 20 bucks, but they only had one, and I've never seen this since, so look around but remember that Amazon does have the best selections. In my opinion, all of these are classics, so get it.

For these reviews, I like to know what I'm getting. Here are the episodes- Simpsons Haloween Special, Bart Gets An F, Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish, Bart VS. Thanksgiving, Bart the Daredevil, and my personal favorite, Marge VS. Itchy and Scratchy. If I were you, I'd go for Wave three. But these are also wonderfully "delicious" episodes.

I purchased this set specifically for the Edgar Allen Poe's, "The Raven," spoof, but the entire set is a great addition to any Simpsons' Fan video library. I recommend highly!

This is indeed a fabulous collection of the earlier Simpsons episodes, most of which feature Bart misbehaving (such as "Bart vs. Thanksgiving" and "Bart Gets an F"). After Bart ruins Thanksgiving for his family, he impulsively runs away and ends up in a homeless shelter. In "Bart Gets an F," it is critical for Bart to pass his history test in order to be promoted to the fifth grade. A Halloween special is also included, along with the political episode where Mr. Burns gets involved in an electoral campaign. Watching these episodes is a true delight for any fan.

How are some reviewers saying these epidoses ain't as clever and funny as the later time? please these epidoses are great and for every Simpsons fan, including me. The Edgar Allan Poe "Raven" skid was great, but my personal favorite is Bart the Daredevil, "I'm the king of the world!..." says Homer after a hilarous mishap occurs, my favorite simpsons moment of all time, don't listen to anyone else, these epidose are brillant!

This collection is absolutely hilarious and more than a must for any Simpsons-enthusiast. It contains Bart the Daredevil - Itchy, Scratchy and Marge - Two cars in every garage and 3 eyes on every fish [Blinky] - Bart vs. Thanksgiving - Tree House of Horror - Bart gets an F. Bart sez: Ay Carumba - Get it man or eat my shorts!

Unfortunately these episodes date from the first 2 series, which were nowhere near as clever, inventive, subtle and hysterical as the later episodes. I really wouldn't bracket any of these as SImpsons classics, having seen maybe 200 episodes. 2 Cars In Every Garage is probably the best, marking the first appearance of a 3-eyed fish (a great insight into the surreal humour of the show's authors). Treehouse Of Horror was stylish and also very surreal, especially the first part. Bart Vs Thanksgiving, and Bart gets an F to an extent, falls into the pigeonhole of early episodes characterised by Bart doing somethig 'bad' (and personally I prefer seeing Homer be stupid) and neither are all that engaging, otehr than the superbly constructed Snow Day scenes. I wouldn't bother with this one.

MMMMMMM...SIMPSONS (like homer would say
