5.0 out of 5 stars The world is normal, again., December 6, 2011

This review is from: The Simpsons: The Fourteenth Season (DVD)

Whew! After the 20th season debacle, I thought it was all over.

In the 14th season DVD, there is commentary on every episode. Though only four episodes have Matt Groening, each episode has at least seven people commenting with one episode containing 12. Guests Joe Mantegna, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Tony Hawk, Mark Hoppus, Scott Thompson and David Byrne join the regular writers, animators, directors and cast during the commentaries. In fact, there are noticeably more visits from the cast in these commentaries (no Harry Shearer or Julie Kavner, though).

While the storylines and jokes may be a tad weaker, the 14th season is the first season to utilize digital animation and coloring, abandoning cels, ink and paint, so the overall LOOK of the show is different, probably better and crisper.

Homer also is stupider than in previous season with some gags falling flat, making one wonder if Homer is too stupid/less funny in this season. However, remember that in season 14 Homer died in the first episode when he was first over the cliff chasing the giant donuts hanging from the helicopters. The Homer in the rest of the episodes is a clone. That is how I am rationalizing the ultrastupidity of Homer this season.

Also, the usual deleted scenes and animation showcases are here. The menus are formatted the same as the last few collections with menu animations worth sitting through their entirety before they loop. In other words, it's the same comfortable format fans of the DVD sets have been used to and sorely missed in the 20th season DVD set.

If you are a collector of all the seasons, then do not hesitate with season 14. Just pretend that the 20th season set didn't happen.

If you hate the "accordion" packaging of seasons 11-13, you'll hate this packaging, too. It's the same.

Life is back to normal.

Nobody "Important to you" (cow country, ca USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Simpsons: The Fourteenth Season (DVD)

If you are thinking about buying this you probably own the first 13 and like me still is debating whether or not to actually buy season 20.

Season 14 seems to be the time when the show became less relevant than it used to be. The episodes about Marge are throw aways and though I love Homer and Lisa stories "The Dad that knew too little" seemed meh at best. Episodes are never fully resolved and b stories don't even seem to exist anymore.

The packaging is the same accordion style paper rubbish, but at least Kang or Kudos has a nice shiny eye. My suggestion is to watch the episodes with the commentary on first then rewatch the show. It actually makes them better. Check out "Bart vs. Lisa vs. The Third Grade" for a glimpse of Bender and "Treehouse of Horror" for Family guy's peter.

No matter what, you know if you are looking to buy this season; you already have made the decision to.

Do'h! I knew this would happen. I told myself that season 13 would be the last one I was going to purchase. See, I've been following the Simpsons since their first episode (even before actually ;) and am a huge fan, but I sort of slowly started to drift away around season 13. The episodes just didn't seem to have that same brilliance I'd grown accustomed to. I'd check back in from time to time, but it seemed Homers head was just getting stuck in things for the sake of it? Eventually I drifted away completely and became accustomed to re-watching the classics on DVD. I've enjoyed reliving the experience, the first Christmas episode, trampolines, horses, elephants, military school, but that time has come; Season 14. With this purchase I'm reminded why I began to wander off in the first place, and the angst that accompanies the groans of disappointment has revisited me. I'm sorry Matt...I'm really, really sorry. I couldn't help myself. I know this seems like a really bad review, but I gave it three stars!
