Everyone's complaining about the packaging...who CARES? It's the content that's awful! This is coming from a dyed-in-the-wool Simpsons fan. I was so excited, as I was each time a new season came out, about this one. But there is a drop-off in quality that is so sharp it really caught me off guard! These, almost every episode, are just as bad as the new ones. Just a lot of over-extended jokes (that weren't very funny to begin with) and pratfalls...Bart becomes a pure caricature instead of slightly caricature-ish but a genuine child at his essence. I can't really explain much further than that...maybe they lost a couple of key writers? Because these episodes are so different from season 5 and before that it's uncanny...and supremely disappointing.I strongly suggest trying to see some of the episodes elsewhere first, before buying. I don't understand what happened, but the Simpsons suddenly became unfunny in Season 6.-J.
