The Simpsons: The Complete Tenth Season DVD Collector's Edition

[Speedy Boris]

So can anyone confirm this supposed June 12th release date with an actual source OTHER than Wikipedia? We all know that anyone can put random stuff on there, and it doesn't have a source listed, so needless to say, I'm very skeptical.

[coltonwiggum]

^Personally, I wouldn't trust that date.

[Brooklyn]

Does anyone else think the set wil be released in mid-july to coincide with the release of the Simpsons Movie. They could probably boost sales that way. I'm just guesing, but it seems like the smart thing to do imo.

I've thought that all along. Don't know about the June 12th date. Someone I know told me June 26th and he's usually pretty close.

The DVD sales for seasons 1-9 will also boost also.

[King Kong, er, Homer]

I won't buy this thing until it goes for cheap, like earlier seasons do now. The season itself is not very good, IMO. Too many crazy plots and general whackiness with no true substance for me. Plus, the show gets a lot less intelligent, expertly conceived and the writing turns juvenile (especially Homer), unimaginative, goofy and hackneyed. I don't know, you're allowed to like it and all but for me it's a hollow show compared to seasons 2-8 at this point. I blame the loss of some great writers during seasons 8 and 9 as to why the show lost steam.

Plus, the old writers who have returned/remained have seemed unable to regain all that spark. It's possible that by the late 90s, a sense of complacency set in and the writing wasn't done by as many young, hungry up n' comers. The Simpsons became established and the need for creative wizardry became obsolete. It's ok if this were some other show, but seeing what the Simpsons had been kind of spoils the humour for me just a tad. Still, Scully-era is simultaneously the most zany and risque and one of the most kid-friendly eras.

Ah well, Season 9 shows some flaws too. I realized this when there were episodes that didn't make me laugh and some (Trash of the Titans) that made me wince-my god, the first full-episode depiction of "Jerkass" Homer IMO. He was nearly an abusive sociopath in that one! And personally, Homer's a lot more funny when his idiocy and jerkiness causes issues and he doesn't seem to notice or try to make it that way. When Homer is actively being a jerk and overriding people's concerns it grates on me.

S8 had some yawner moments but it was nothing due to the general quality overshadowing the problems. There are some gems, yet it's a consistently mediocre season but it gets even worse from here on I think. I'm not exactly a minor Simpsons fan, but even I have my limits. I'm not a completist either. I'd sooner buy season 1 and 2 on DVD which I still intend to do. Most of the posters want it for completist reasons, others to gawk at the trash and others because they genuinely enjoy S10. One day I'll check it out. Do they put these things for rent at Blockbuster either?

[Oto]

Some people here are really psycopath likes the CBG and other I&S (or comics) fans in the show...

"I wait promo because.......... blablablabla..... Can we rent it?" All these words... your speech can take just a sentence or two but 21lines... and you find some episode boring?? haha

[Charlie]

Shut up.

[coltonwiggum]

Double shut up.

All articles on Wikipedia must previously be published in a reliable text, and the sources must be cited.

Ivan and colton just go to... each other, thanks.

I'm sorry I was only joking

[coltonwiggum]

Double I'm sorry I was only joking

[Oto]

Triple sorry, don't understand the joke.

[coltonwiggum]

I have a feeling this DVD will sell really well as it is being released so close to the movie and the 400th episode, and sales were already going to be boosted just by the fact that it's Bart's head on the cover.

[hobojoejunkpan]

Does anyone go to TVShowsonDVD? I like that sight, but am frustrated that there no place for forums like this.
I think Wikipedia is usually right, but there has been misinformation too often.
I'm changing my release date guess to July 17.

[Ramier Wolfcastle]

We still haven't received word of this DVD set, but based on previous releases, we're looking at a July release at the earliest.

I'm predicting July 24 in the US, 3 days before the movie. Or August 14, based on the releases of seasons 6 and 8.

[Heub]

The french release date has been announced over a month ago, it's supposed to hit the shelves on July 18th here. I think that's the first time we got a french release date before the american one.
That's a bit weird cause if this date is correct and if there's the same delay between the american and the french release as usual (between 3 and 4 months) that would mean that it should already be out over there by now.

[Oto]

Yes i have already said it on page 5, i agree this date is a bit weird but time will tell... Fox maybe want a world release for the 10th season to go with the movie.

We certainly have news soon for the US date. For the 9th season, tvshowsondvd have been talk about the december release date at the end of september.

[latinthrilla]

I look forward to buying this, it was a very funny season and well worth my money

[Adam R]

For the previous two years, the announcement was made on the 10th (or so) of May, so I'm expecting this will be no different and there will be an August release. It's not like this DVD is going to be that great anyway.

[Jeff]

Can't wait for this boxed set, one of my favorite of the "post classic" era.

[Heub]

Fox France pushed back the release date to August 8th. It will probably be around the same time for the american release as they want to take the advantage of the movie release to promote the DVDs.

[Mr Black]

When is it released?

[E.A.R.L]

Allow me to say. I am getting all the sets, not because I want to complete my collection, but because I truely beleive that, even at its worst, The Simpsons is always entertaining, and it allways cheers me up, and the more sets I have, the more choices of episodes I can watch. I have 1-9 and I have already watched the crap out of them, I need more.

[Anthony DiFrancesco]

I'm definately getting it. For my collection, to cheer me up, and is very funny. Season ten rocks along with all seasons 1-15.

[Lisa Is A Nut]

ill get the boxset for my birthday probably (october mann) depends when it comes out. will the simpsons movie be for release by then?

I agree with everything you write. Someone wrote about a May 10 announcement. Sounds reasonable, although when I looked at announcement dates I ended up thinking it would be in April.

[Cerpin Taxt]

I think it'll get released the same time as last year, because even if it were to be released around the time of the movie or shortly thereafter, we would have to hear about it in the next week.

I think a May 10 release is impossible. It's already the middle of April - we would have heard something long ago if it was to come out in May.
