To try and put the greatest hits of The Simpsons onto one disc is foolhardy. There are so many classic, touching, hilarious episodes people love that if they did do a greatest hits package it would be so long that it wouldn't be able to fit on anyone's shelves, that is the quality of this show.
So this DVD, part of "The Simpsons Classics", contains 4 episodes, each accredited with some sort of landmark. We have "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire", which was the very first episode and deals with Homer not getting his Christmas bonus, but in the end gets something much better. There's the 100th episode "Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baddasssss Song" where Bart gets Principal Skinner when he brings Santa's Little Helper into school for show and tell day. There's also "Bart Gets an F" which had the highest ever ratings in America for a Simpsons episode. And finally, "Lisa's First Word" in which Maggie speaks for the first time. This is a really touching episode, and shows that the writers can do moving drama as well as comedy. When Homer lays Maggie down at the end, you can feel the love he has for her, and vice versa. But I could be reading too much into it.
It's interesting to look over different episodes from different times in The Simpsons history and see the changes in animation and writing. Like how in the early days Bart was the focal point of the family, with computer games and rap songs with him as the central character, but as the show went on focus was diverted to Homer, with his slapstick humour, his angry outbursts but always a loving father and husband who would do anything for his family.
If you can get this cheap then it would be a good deal, otherwise get a full season. These DVD's don't have any extras whereas the season boxsets have a wealth of different features and can be gotten relatively cheap.
