Season 14 DVD & Blu-ray (release date: December 6, 2011)

**Otis P Jivefunk** · 10-02-2011, 06:10 AM

I will upload pictures if someone else doesn't first, but I'll be at work all day so by evening I bet someone will have already done so. If not then I will...

Alrighty then. Sounds great. Do you plan on taking photos of the actual box set, or screen caps of the menus and whatever?

**The Wiggs** · 10-02-2011, 08:12 AM

I'm really interested in seeing what the Blu Ray packaging looks like for this set. If anyone gets the Blu Ray I'd really appreciate some pics. Hopefully it's the same packaging as the DVD.

The menus more than likely

**Alex_Of_Darkness** · 10-02-2011, 03:09 PM

Why UK have it before us ?

Ok, that's handy then. I am planning on taking many photos of the box set itself (limited edition DVD)

Not sure. However, we have recieved some early before (I think I remember talking about this a few months back?)

Crossing my fingers someone gets this for me for Christmas, as I don't feel like wasting money on a post-classic season. But if someone buys it for me, like someone did with 13, I'll happily watch them frequently (as the show hasn't really phased out JUST yet)

I started getting the dvd's when I had season 4,5 & 6 for Christmas in 2006.

**Otis P Jivefunk** · 10-07-2011, 02:03 PM

I actually walked into a shop and bought Season One on September 24th 2001, I still remember it clearly. I also remember about a year before Season One came out Fox did a questionnaire asking fans what they wanted, as in would they rather compilations of episodes or would they like whole seasons released on DVD? Of course when I filled it out I put whole seasons. I guess luckily enough other people did too...

**merzitar** · 10-07-2011, 04:15 PM

Yup - I'm the same as Otis. I bought Season 1 in 2001, and continued to purchase new seasons on the day they were released. Really looking forward to Season 14 again. Only three days left!

**Alex_Of_Darkness** · 10-07-2011, 06:29 PM

1 month and 30 days for me

**Solid Snake** · 10-08-2011, 02:13 AM

If I have working batteries for my camera, I'll take photos and menu shots as soon as I return with the set. If I'm beaten, oh well. :P

Also, I'll make a DVD Companion page on my site, outlining all the special features, animations etc... for the set. So those that have to wait can at least see what special features it has in more detail, like who's in the Audio Commentaries. :P

**YellowFever** · 10-08-2011, 02:59 AM

Sorry for the double post, here's some pics of the set and screenshots below...

**YellowFever** · 10-08-2011, 02:59 AM

Here's some pics and screenshots of the set:

**Oh, that's raspberry!** · 10-08-2011, 03:24 AM

Damn that is nice!!!!

I really love the artwork and well just about everything here, now I just want the actual set! Really awesome job on posting this stuff man. Now to wait for the audio commentary lists.

BTW: I stared at the Season XIII tombstone for like a full minute thinking they made a mistake before realizing they were saying Season 13 was dead and buried to make way for the new season, very nice little detail but then there are quite a few of them.

**CousinMerl** · 10-08-2011, 03:33 AM

Wow, many thanks for the solid quality pics!; now I must admit that I am definitely a fan of the Halloween theme and the DVD set does not disappoint (and it seems like the menus have their own introduction sequence with the characters walking through the mansion gates that opens before them and one of the saucer hovering infront of the mansion).

No problemo! It was a complete surprise seeing this arrive this morning, only got the dispatch e-mail yesterday! Also, you can probably find the audio commentary list over at BBFC.co.uk. I'll see if I can get it now! And yeah, I really love all the little touches they put into the artwork, they really think about every little detail!

Took these with my phone! And yeah, you're right it starts with the characters walking through the gates then the UFO then 'The Simpsons' appears in blood red, we zoom through the 'p' and it reveals the main menu, basically!

Also, it's quite surreal to be in a position where I'm the first person to upload pics for the new season set, if you know what I mean! This two-month US-UK gap is ridiculous, like someone said before this would have been perfect for a Halloween release, like it is over here. Wonder if Season 15 will get a Christmas theme (Assuming it's released in Dec '12)

**cloneasaurus** · 10-08-2011, 04:00 AM

Have to say the artwork is fantastic as usual. I love the little details, like the picture of uncle Eldred from Lisa's Wedding (or is it Otto?) and the painting of Maude in the background of the menu artwork. Makes me want to consider buying it, despite the average episodes.

**alex_on_ice** · 10-08-2011, 04:09 AM

Wow, that's great artwork!!!! Thanks a lot for the post YellowFever. I'm going to have to wait until November 16th 2011 (release date in France) before I can get my hands on it.

**Alex_Of_Darkness** · 10-08-2011, 05:12 AM

Thank you very much for the picture !!!

**LittleMissLisaSimpson** · 10-08-2011, 05:30 AM

Thanks so much for putting up the pics. I love the Halloween design of the inside of the boxset. How did you get it so early? Did you pre-order it?

**Blobulle** · 10-08-2011, 05:59 AM

Thanks a lot YellowFever for theses pictures.
This boxset is very well done!

**Jesse Pinkman** · 10-08-2011, 05:59 AM

thanks a ton for putting up pictures of this. looks amazing. i was debating whether or not to get this when it comes out, or wait till christmas. the pictures you have put up has helped me make up my mind

**Captain Squid** · 10-08-2011, 07:12 AM

Fantastic art this time!

Shame the blu-ray (probably) won't have any of that awesome art. Interested to hear a confirmation of the blu just having a standard blue snapper case.

Damn FOX. Halloween theme would be PERFECT for this month, and instead they give us a damn HALLOWEEN themed set in... December? What is this? Nightmare Before Christmas?

Speaking of which, they should have sneaked in a Jack Skellington head somewhere in the box art.

But really, I agree; with the set looking like this and all, it's a shame that the release has been pushed back (and it seems like Sweden will get it in November).

**The Wiggs** · 10-08-2011, 08:58 AM

Wow. It looks fantastic. You'd think by now I'd be used to how these sets work but the amount of detail put in always blows me away. Really really cool. The current show might not be all that great, but they definately put some time and effort into making sure these sets are.

i was just thinking that whilst re-reading the posts. it's kind of weird how they try so hard on the sets, and other things (like the guide books, or the library of wisdom books, amongst other things), yet the current show is so... well, you all know. do they take longer on the sets, and books to make them more creative, or is it just some coincidence

Different teams producing the DVDs and books are probably the reason for this. My guess is FOX Home Video has a major hand in the quality of the DVDs, and Bongo is responsible for the quality of the books. Personally I think the people who produce the DVDs and the folks at Bongo are the strongest creative forces behind the Simpsons right now, often outdoing the show's crew.
