Simpsons: The Complete Second Season (Collector's Edition)

Last Minute Sales & Specials

Welcome to Season Two of "The Simpsons" on DVD - twenty-two jam-packed episodes of malicious cartoon frivolity that helped make 1990 and 1991 such entertaining and annoying years. This is when full-blown Simpsons Mania hit America. and millions of thoughtful young people across the land were either wearing or selling bootleg Bart Simpson T-shirts. The wild success of the TV show, along with every product that had Bart's leering face slapped on it, would have been daunting had we been able to look up from our drawing tables. But everyone who wore on "The Simpsons" was so consumed with the making of the weekly cartoon that we were able to maintain the exhaustion and worry and carefully nursed bitterness that lies behind all successful Hollywood extravaganzas. If the first season was a series of wild experiments that succeeded beyond our dreams, the second season was a nonstop workathon that was redeemed by the knowledge we were amusing and irritating so many people. Many of the shows from this season remain among my all-time favorites. I'm particularly fond of Bart's pride in getting a grade of D-minus at the end of "Bart Gets An F"; the debut of the ever-slobbering Kang and Kodos in the first of our annual "Treehouse Of Horror" episodes; Homer almost making it across Springfield Gorge on Bart's skateboard; Mr. Burns taking a reluctant bite of Blinky, the three-eyed fish; Maggie bonking Homer with a mallet after watching an "Itchy & Scratchy" cartoon; Bart going to Hell in "Bart Gets Hit By A Car"; and the flashback scene in "The Way We Was," when Homer catches his first glimpse of Marge in high school (se was hot). So put on a ratty old Simpsons T-shirt, grab a bowlful of heavily-salted snack treats, and sink into the couch for a marathon of "Simpsons" classics. If you look carefully, you can see actual drops of blood, sweat and tears on may of the animation cels. Enjoy! Your chum, Matt Groening. Contains the complete second season with all 22 episodes.
