Where's the DVD?

"Great"

By bhaverty, Apr 14, 2010 Report Abuse

Surely someone has put the series on DVD? I can't find anything on Amazon, though. The "City of Strangers" (done to the music of The Lion Sleeps Tonight) and "Drugs and Guns" (Mama Said There'd be Days Like This) skits from season two have to be some of the most amazing ever! Not many actors are able to get that mix of comedy and poignance into their characters, much less in well written vignettes. It's interesting now to go back and see what the voices of the Simpsons were up to when the cartoon series itself was just being born! They're great actors, too.moreless

The best thing about this show is The Simpsons. I am hoping that they will release all the Tracey Ullman shorts on the season 20 DVD. I like them not shown in syndication. Does anyone know where you can find all the shorts not shown in syndication. I've been searching for a long time for the shorts 'Making Faces' and Maggie's Brain' in full version. The Simpsons is pretty much the only thing I like about this show because the rest is not AS good but still funny. I hope that they release this on DVD soon. I don't know why they haven't. Anyway, please tell me if you know about any places where you can find the shorts not shown in syndication.moreless

What can be said about this show. It was ahead of it's time, it's star was amazingly funny, telented, beautiful (sigh) and so forward looking. She led the way for numerous shows to follow. Oh and yes she started the simpsons. FOx gave us what we really needed humour, when it was realy required

this tracy ullman thing was never funny. believe me. the only thing that came outta it was the simpsons and now that show is utter crap as well. this show was filled with boring gags and 80s uncomical jokes that... you would have to be really dull to laugh at it.

So was the Simpsons the only thing keeping this show alive?
As soon as the simpsons left it was down the tube, was the Simpsons the only thing people liked about this show?
