Come On We All Know It's Five Stars,

This review is from: The Simpsons: The Fourteenth Season (DVD)
What do you expect? A one star review? We all know that the Simpsons has always been one of the greatest TV shows of all time, and the DVDS of the Simpsons are even better than the broadcast TV episodes, so of course it gets five stars, what were you expecting a one star review or are you one of those haters who wants to brutally critique the Simpsons and then go back to your obscure medieval Russian literature, or your waterered down dull as dishwater music ???So if you want a brutal critique of the Simpsons season 14, write it yourself and explain just how the simpsons season 14 sucks so much, yeah but you don't have the backbone do you, yeah i didn't think so, cluck cluck cluck. Long Live The Simpsons FIVE STARS

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. 9 of 10 people found the following review helpful

Approaching the void...,

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

Foolish earthlings wrote this season,
By Inspector Gadget "Go Go Gadget Reviews" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Simpsons: Season 14 [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
The sharp decline that The Simpsons suffered in the early noughties is glaringly evident in this lackluster season. Of the 22 episodes a few are well-written and smart, a few are lazily-written and boring, and the rest are forgettable without being particularly bad. The first episode (Treehouse of Horror 13) is horrible, despite a promising opening. Things do not improve with episode 2, featuring unnaturally shoehorned-in guest appearances by The Rolling Stones and other aging rockers. We've already seen Homer interact with these types in the Season 12 episode 'A Tale of Two Springfields'. It's just an easily recycled gimmick that fails to make for a memorable episode. As for the other 20...well, when you browse through your Simpsons collection looking for a classic episode, you will never pick out Season 14.The production design of the package is lovely. Fox have gone for a Halloween theme for this one and it looks great. The Blu Ray presents each episode in 1.33:1 1080p with DTS HD-MA sound. There are a decent amount of extras, which are entertaining. But the best of them is the fact that disc 3 contains two Treehouse of Horror episodes (V and VI) from 1994 and 1995. These episodes are actually the best Treehouse of Horrors (V was heavily cut in the UK due to the gore and violence), and I suspect they were included to make up for the fact that the Halloween episode in Season 14 was so bad. I should also point out that Treehouse of Horror V and VI look much better on Blu Ray than their DVD counterparts, proving that earlier seasons could benefit from being released on the format. But since Fox have been releasing The Simpsons to the home video market since 2001 and are only at Season 14 I wouldn't hold your breath. |
