Fans can continue to build a complete Simpsons DVD collection with the specially packaged, four-disc The Simpsons Season Two DVD Collection, where the evolution of The Simpsons is marked by the introduction of new characters (Ralph Wiggum; Groundskeeper Willie; Professor Frink; Dr. Julius Hibbert; Kang & Kodos; Blinky, the three-eyed fish; Comic Book Guy; Lionel Hutz; Kent Brockman), more celebrity guest stars (Jon Lovitz; Danny DeVito; Tony Bennett; Ringo Starr; Larry King and others), the debut of the Treehouse Of Horror Halloween specials, and the Billboard-topping song 'Do The Bartman.'

'A Simpson on a T-shirt. I never thought I'd see the day.' So remarks Marge Simpson in 'Dancin' Homer,' just one of 22 mostly classic episodes that comprise this series' brilliant second season. The Simpsons by that time was already a pop culture phenomenon, but instead of suffering a sophomore slump, this iconoclastic animated series was just hitting its stride. Series milestones include: first Oscar®-winning guest voice (an unbilled Dustin Hoffman in 'Lisa's Substitute'), first Beatle guest voice (Ringo in 'Brush with Greatness'), first 'Treehouse of Horror' Halloween episode, first flashback episode ('The Way We Was,' in which Homer meets Marge), and the first episode to make me cry (Bart's last frolic with obedience school washout Santa's Little Helper in 'Bart's Dog Gets an F'). It's in this season the The Simpsons really finds its voice. The writing is sharper, and the upending of sitcom convention more subversive. 'Perhaps there is no moral to this story,' observes Lisa at the end of 'Blood Feud.' 'Exactly,' agrees Homer. 'Just a bunch of stuff that happens.'
In the first season, Bart was the series' breakout star, but in the second, The Simpsons established itself as a true ensemble series. Each character came into their own with career-best episodes. Marge, the family's long-suffering voice of reason, crusades against cartoon violence in 'Itchy & Scratchy & Marge.' Lisa, the heart and tortured soul of the series, develops an ill-fated crush on her new teacher in 'Lisa's Substitute.' Bart desperately tries to raise the money to buy Radioactive Man No. 1 in 'Three Men and a Comic Book.' Homer's stock rises when he grows hair in 'Simpson and Delilah.' Joining the Simpsons roster of scene-stealing supporting characters are Dr. Hibbert ('Bart the Daredevil'), shyster lawyer Lionel Hutz (voiced by the late, great Phil Hartman in 'Bart Gets Hit by a Car'), the Ahnold-esque action hero McBain ('The Way We Was'), slobbering aliens Kang and Kodos ('Treehouse of Horror'), and 'nutty professor' Frink ('Old Money'). This essential, extras-laden DVD set is illustrative of why The Simpsons is, in the parlance of Comic Book Guy, funniest show ever. --Donald Liebenson

The creators of the Simpsons really began to hit their stride with this season. Every episode is a winner, but for me the standouts are "Lisa's Substitute" (Dustin Hoffman's voices a substitute teacher that replaces Homer in Lisa's affections), "Three Men and a Comic Book" (Bart, Millhouse, and Martin buy an issue of Radioactive Man #1, then cannot trust each other alone with it in a hilarious nod to the classic "Treasure of the Sierra Madre"), "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge" (any episode with ...

I've heard time and again that season 2 of The Simpsons was where the series really started to show its true potential. And I have to say, I couldn't agree more. True it was still somewhat choppy even here, but the improvement in quality over season 1 is still undeniable. While a blind person like myself can't appreciate the improved quality of the animation, it's cool to hear the difference in some of the character voices from season 1 versus season 2. Homer and Mr. Burns are particularly noticeable ... Read More

Like a lot of longtime fans of The Simpson, i consider season two to be where the show really broke out and started it`s classic era. The main reason why season two is so great is that it showcased more of the other characters beside Bart like Homer(who really came into his own in the season), Marge, Lisa and Mr. Burns. I felt that this greatly helped the growth of the show in terms of creativity and popularity. If Matt Groening had stuck to the formula of season one where most of the episodes are centered ...

I absolutely love this season, I bought season 1-4 because in my opinion those are the only ones worth having. It is my belief that after season 5 the series went down.

As for what is now and forever be classic television, the Simpsons are on the top. The first season was a bit choppy and underdeveloped and with this season it is easy to see that things are starting to come together and that the writers and animators are working the bugs out.
The high point of season two, the real reason to make sure that you own it is that this seasons begins the annual tradition that is the "Treehouse of Horror" specials that have always been amazingly done. This particular ... Read More
