Why no one ban him? He just do everything he can to be stupid and boring, you really want to talk for months and months and months and months and months with him?

Prout !!
I'm am not stupid are boring are an idiot you are the one that's boring and the one who needs to be ban is ivan he's still not picture perfect i did report him to the moderator for telling me to shut up over and over again, and i didn't break any rules anyways. we should get back on topic.
let's never speak of this again
I think there's a LOT of overreacting on this board, and other Simpsons-related ones in general, but also in regards to this particular topic. I bet the people who work on "The Simpsons" never intended this gigantic world of shadow malcontents to miss the surrealist bent and, gosh, CARTOONISH landscape of the show and criticize its every frame. You people act like there's no heart in any of the shows. A bogus implication if I ever saw one.
I myself was proud to plunk down my hard-earned cash to purchase this season, which is one of my favorite seasons. Yes, that's right, all you die-hard ep-graders! You might ask why I love season 11 so much, if KKK grand wizard Mike Scully was manning the ship! Well I'll tell you why! BECAUSE I LOVE EVERY SEASON.
I am 25 years old right now. Maybe that has something to do with it, I have no idea, nor should I ever. What I am certain of is that "The Simpsons" has grown with me over the years. From sneaking the Christmas special in 2nd grade when my mom was doing laundry (I was raised Catholic) all up until last week's rerun of Bart swapping places with his wealthy lookalike, I have seen almost every episode there is to see (I'm sure I must have missed some, but that's what DVDs/WTSO are for, right?) And season 11 aired when I was an upperclassmen in high school, and all of my friends still talked about the episodes. It's hard to believe these aired eight or nine years ago. I can remember thinking how stupid it was that my buddy made the AIM screen name Americas Wang. Now that joke is immortalized on a DVD.
I have never, NOT ONCE, seen an episode of this show at which I didn't laugh out loud at least a dozen times. You should all be thankful that the show and characters and situations have grown and grown over twenty god-damned years! It's a lighthearted show! For god's sake, the lot of you Jeff Albertsons need to just take a little troll-y walk outside, use those hands and brains for something else, and step back from your middling anger.
That said, to steer this back on topic, I find the packaging for this particular set absolutely amazing. My DVDs are secure (seriously, you have to have limited capability with your digits if you are getting scratches on these discs - perhaps too many awful years prattling on in messageboards and wacking it? Who knows..) in the comfy cardboard, a marked improvement in the old plastic easily-cracked clackers where the DVDs would fall out and get scratched more often than I anticipate these will, and the foldout carnival mural is absolutely beautiful and it feels more like a real thing and a gift. Whoever designed this box should be praised. It puts other DVD sets to shame. Plus, you get Homer's eyes crusting over, Bart teaching Homer how to ride a bike, security guard Gary Coleman, a fat Mr. Burns, Barney's swan song, and my favorite, Bart and Milhouse living it up in an empty mall. Not to mention "my pockets hurt".
It's all here, because it was always here and will always be here. At this point, however much you try to rail against the show.. As the years go on and it's still on the air, the more you complain about it, it's really like you're complaining about the existence of "60 Minutes", or baseball, or apple pie. "The Simpsons" is an American institution, one of the only ones of my generation that is still kicking like clockwork. Show some respect, or make a better show!
You're 25 and yet you stoop so low as to try and label every member here as being a stereotypical "nerd"?
About the packaging, I totally disagree. I have had NO bad experience with the old plastic disc holders and have not had them scratch any of the discs in my previous sets. I don't know if the packaging is slightly different between regions for Season 11, but I have the Region 4 Australian version, and getting the discs out for the first time was honestly terrible, the cardboard pockets were so tight around the discs that it was impossible to get them out without some sort of damage being inflicted (and I know it wasn't just a one-off, it's the same with both copies I've owned [the first went back because Disc 1 had glue on it and hence wouldn't play]).
And before you crack some craptacular fat joke saying it's my own fault the discs wouldn't come out, I'm underweight and have no problems concerning "fat fingers". The packaging, at least in the copies I've had, are terrible.
You can like it all you want, but so far there's only you and another poster a couple pages back that have commended it for the way the discs are held (I only like it because it's restored the awesome fold-out artwork that we saw in the first five DVD sets). No one has to like it just because YOU say it's good, and no amount of insults, despite the fact their so stereotypical and incorrect, is going to change that. Just accept that people have differing opinions.
You're the troll, if anything.






Oh man, this thread is the new NHC fight arena!
Well however, this is the second time I am on Ivan's side, people do have different opinions and that is good that way. Not every boarder is a nerd and I don't think I should be criticised just because I don't love every single aspect of the show. Season 11 is a pretty awful season compared to the other seasons, but it's still ok in general.
The package art is absolutely great, we agree on that point, but the set isn't very handy and it's not impossible to scratch the discs. Oh, by the way, my set is from Region 2 (or 3, I bought it in Europe).
Ok, I think I made my points. Back to you, Crusser.
I don't hate Season 11 as much as people here do, but I got adimit that it's not all that good. Still some letdowns and and I certainly don't love every season like you.
Unfortunately I've watched some episodes in wich I couldn't laugh much, maybe because the story was stupid, or the jokes were not working for me... And the characters have not grown since season 6 I think.
I got a different packaging so I can't say for sure but It looked bad from the pictures I saw. Also I'm not a careful guy and most of my Simpson discs have some scrates (but work perfectly) and we wait over a year for Season 11 to come out. They really should've been more careful with the design. And I agree with you that there are some pretty great moments on Season 11 but the quality of the episodes is another topic and shouldn't be comented here.
The Simpsons use to be the best show on TV but not anymore. The quality of the episodes has really fall apart. Luckily they still great compared to everything else on TV. But thats just what I think![]()
You call everyone else nerds and then call us "Jeff Albertsons", if we're such nerds then how the fuck do you, a 25 year old man, know who jeff albertson is. hycrocrite.![]()

you guys are really touchy no offense. o and for your information, jeff albertson= Comic Book Guy.
fight fight fight fight![]()
This has to be the most self indulgant, egotistical thing I've read in years. If you're trolling, good job. If you're not...wow. No one has to like anything, get over yourself.
And also if someone hates this season too, it's fine to express it but no one needs constant pestering over it. Guys, people like stuff...and people hate stuff. It's called being a human being. Let it go.
Stop this nonsense.

How long until this thread...dies?
"Look, Marge, you don't know what it's like. I'm the one out there every day putting his ass on the line. And i'm not out of order! You're out of order. The whole freaking system is out of order. You want the truth? You want the truth?! You can't handle the truth! Because when you reach over and put your hand into a pile of goo, that was your best friend's face, you'll know what to do! Forget it, Marge. It's Chinatown!" - Homer's rant.
Very soon if this continues. Even if I don't mod this forum I'll see to that.
