The Complete Thirteenth Season DVD Collector's Edition: The Official Thread

[Moe Nopoly]

if Comic Book Guy gets a front cover, Moe should get his one immediately

[Mt. Doom]

I think it should be one of the kids, hopefully Milhouse

[The Wiggs]

I guess Moe.

[Green Man]

I vote for Mr. Burns.

[SIR oinks alot]

a apu head would be nice, with the quickie mart inside.

[SIR oinks alot]

but seriously we argued this before

[Jesse Pinkman]

well what do you expect? season 12 was just released, do you think we know the information on the next set? we probably will know things in a month or so, hopefully before if this is released in December. now the only thing we can do is speculate

I can see the shitty advertising for this box set:

"13 Is Your NEW lucky Number!"

EDIT: If they go back to the first 10 seasons box styles, I might actually buy this.

Yeah I don't mind the slimmer version but the packaging for the first ten seasons was just a more comfortable style

[Gorky]

I thought the S12 packaging was fine (adding that little tab definitely makes it a lot easier to remove the discs without constant fear of wrecking them), and seeing as how I'm personally running out of room for these DVDs, the smaller box is appreciated. But I'm also partial to the original couch-gag packaging; it seems like something they would not have exhausted by season five.

[Disgruntled Goat]

I have a feeling they'll save Wiggum for a Season 19 dual-cover with Ralph. Actually, the new "theme" from Season 16 onwards could be dual covers. Patty & Selma would fit well for Season 16.

I reckon they'll use Apu for Season 13, because he doesn't really have any other episodes after The Sweetest Apu. Here are my latest guesses:

13: Apu
14: Flanders
15: Burns
16: Patty/Selma
17: Grampa
18: Moe
19: Ralph (maybe with Chief Wiggum)


@Jye: great idea! I set up a poll thread here. Vote away!

[Bella Drape 'er]

On The Simpsons Season 12 DVD thread, we were talking about ratings in the UK, and whether the boxser would be rated for 15 years and older, because of the word 'fuck'.

Just wondering, if the Season 13 DVD will be rated 15 years and older, for all the drug references in "Weekend at Burnsies" - does anyone think so?

At least 12, definitely. Although the episode never airs pre-watershed over here, I think the drug use is fairly mild so might get away with the 12. Though if hey have more swears to boot (in the commentary) then it could get bumped up.

[Granto]

15 seems to equate to an M rating here in Aus. I thought Natural Born Kissers might have done it, due to its sexual content but the DVD was rated PG so I don't think the drug references in Weekend At Burnsies will be enough to earn a mature rating

The sexual content is implied, not shown. See below.

5F18
Natural Born Kissers
Latest Classification: PG (17th February, 1999)
Language: Occasional, mild
Sex/Nudity: Some mild nudity/references
Violence: None
Other: Animated sitcom (none)

It's only sexual content, if you actually seeing them doing it, I just saw buck naked kissing on my viewing.

[Green Man]

[Bella Drape 'er]

I think that's classed as nude 'hugging', for minors.

[Granto]

If PG is available to all kids, I think Natural Born Kissers deserve a higher rating, even with it only being allusions to sex, there are some pretty strong allusions in the episode. Plus Marge side boob

[bartyboy]

always cover your ass.

[Disgruntled Goat]

There's a couple of episodes in Season 13 that have the "aftermath" (like after Homer injects himself with the pocket fox serum).

The original Romeo and Juilet as a full-fleating version of Juilet's underage breasts. Although the film was made before the PG-13 and 12 certificate was made, so I suppose it doesn't really count.

[super_lazy19]

I wouldn't be against an Itchy and Scratchy cover

[The Wiggs]

I wouldn't be against an Itchy and Scratchy cover

Me too, but for a different season.

[Sideshow Blinky]

NO, not Itchy and Scratchy. That would be awful.

[Jesse Pinkman]

NO, not Itchy and Scratchy. That would be awful.

Why would it be awful?

It would be strange, no doubt, but I can see an I@S box in the future

[Ramier Wolfcastle]

Now entering October 2009 with no official announcement for this DVD release. So I'm guessing Season 13 won't be released on DVD until 2010. Why? There's usually about a 3 month wait between the official announcement and the release date.

That saddens me, as I really want this season on DVD. Oh well, maybe early next year {unless it IS in fact released in December of this year}.

[Kiyosuki]

I have a feeling Apu's gonna be the 13 rep too.

14 I bet'll go to Moe because of Baby Blues.

15 I'll guess will be either Burns or Milhouse, who both have moderately relevant episodes. Maybe Skinner + all the known kids, the school in general for one big package.

16 I have a feeling will be Wiggum because of Pranksta Rap. They could do Patty and Selma because Marrying and Goo Goo Gai Pan but I'm not sure they'd choose the two characters to represent a DVD. They're not exactly popular. I doubt they'll feature Ralph with his dad as a double package, they're both pretty well known separately.

17's hard to say. Willie? Quimby maybe...? Perhaps even Bob?

From here it's anyone's guess, though it's a good chance Ralph will be on 19 because of E Pluribus. Wish it were a better episode he were being covered for but what can you do.

Another year closer to the zimmer frame. I can't wait to be an old man yelling at kids to get off my lawn and taking the zimmer frame out to town to buy the final simpsons DVD set...

[Jesse Pinkman]

Do they even plan on releasing them all at some point?

It seems to take longer and longer, it looks {to me} that they are going to go back to releasing one a year. It might be too early to tell at this point, but still.
