Advantages: Great if you like the Simpsons (obviously), I got it for very cheap
Disadvantages: It's not cheap everywhere, has a different feel to later series.

This is, fairly obviously, the DVD of the first TV series of the very popular show, 'The Simpsons'. For those of you who haven't heard of it before, the Simpsons is a cartoon series that has been running since the early 90s, which focuses on one particular family, the Simpsons. It's a great cartoon for children, but also has a lot of jokes in it that only adults will get, making it accessible for all ages of viewers. On the TV the Simpsons is on ...
...rapidly in recent years. In the mid to late 90s, the Simpsons was the must-see cartoon for children and young teenagers as well as their parents, so it is quite a disappointment to hear that it isn't what it used to be. And so, that's why I decided to buy the first series on DVD - to see how good it used to be in the beginning, regardless of whether or not it's run out of steam in the past few series. That, and also because I managed to find the ... Read review

Advantages: Slap stick comedy, laughter, classic films
Disadvantages: None

...series. So i asked for the box set for my birthday and so it arrived! I wont bore you going in to details of all of the films but what i can say is Peter Sellers is a genius in his portrail of Inspector clouseau. His ability to invoke laughter, use of language, props and his accent is up there with the best of all time. Also it comes with the final Pink Panther which was filmed after Peter Sellers died and was made up of outtakes in a kind of ...
...but its probably one of the best of the lot. Personally i didnt find the first Pink Panther to interesting because the characters were trying to find their feet. One final note has to go to Cato, expect him to attack when ever and where ever. clouseau a martial arts master or not? ... Read review

Advantages: Side splitting fun with some good one liners
Disadvantages: Not enough series

The Royle family was one of the best sit-coms that came from the BBC. Written by Caroline Aherne and Craig Cash the show soon became a popular 'not to be missed' programme. The theme tune, 'Half the world away' written and sung by Manchester band Oasis. It was such a simple setting for the sitcom but it worked so well with so little surroundings. The Royle Family started in 1998 with the minimum of cast member. Written by Caroline Aherne, (Denise ...
...idea revolved around the Royle family, a bunch of misfits living in a Manchester council house. Jim Royle, (Ricky Tomlinson) is the father who is permanently attached to his chair with the television remote glued to his hand, a work shy individual who believes that the world owes him everything. Then there's his wife, Barbara (Sue Johnston) who runs around after Jim, cleaning and cooking, dealing with his every whim. Then we were introduced to ... Read review

Advantages: Great special features
Disadvantages: 138th Episode Spectacular

One of the best series not only of The Simpsons but anything... ever. The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular is technically a clipshow which is slightly annoying however there is enough new material in it to raise it above the usual clipshow level. Personal favourites include the 3D Homer and Bart in Treehouse of Horror VI, Radioactive Man (My eyes! The goggles do nothing!) and Lisa The Vegetarian which is just a great episode. The full episode ...

Advantages: All simpsons episodes are good, I suppose.
Disadvantages: Not very scary.

...Personally, I find most of the halloween specials of The Simpsons quite boring and not very scary. Some can be quite good, though. Treehouse of Horror V This episode is one of the best halloween specials, in my opinion. It is really funny at points. In all three stories, Groundskeeper Willie is killed while trying to help the Simpsons out of tricky situations. In the second story, Homer goes time travelling which seemed to me to be too science ...
...found that all the episodes were not scary at all and were all science fiction. I didn't really like this episode but my little sister enjoyed it so maybe others will. Treehouse of Horror VII This episode was one I found particularly un-scary. By now you probably realise that the Treehouse of Horror episodes lack what the title claims they have - Horror! Treehouse of Horror XII Gypsy curses, demented computers and wizards... seems ... Read review
