The Simpsons The Complete Tenth Season
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
Season 10 is when things definitely started getting shakier, before completely going off a cliff in season 11. No single episode in season 10 is truly bad, but the bad signs are definitely there. The writing starts relying more on an uneven string of throwaway one-liners that seldom reveal a deeper character underneath, or make incisive social commentary, and that start to fall flat with increasing frequency. Callback jokes are often seen from a mile away and sight gags aren’t as clever. The stories themselves became more unwieldy, entailing ever more outlandish scenarios, and they’re often quickly set up at the beginning and then neatly tied up at the end, with lots of fluff and meandering in between.- Juan
I only ordered season 10 the day before this review, so I haven’t received it yet, but I’m a big-enough Simpsons fan to write an honest review and get it out of the way now. After skimming the other reviews I think it’s safe to say that, and I agree with, the very best seasons are 4-8 with 3 and 9 being excellent as well but at a slightly lower percentage. How I personally rate a season is by the number of great episodes compared to what I feel are the mediocre/poor eps; the eps of seasons 4-8 having almost all great eps IMO! Season ten is about 50:50, which is still pretty good but simply cannot hold a candle to the writing of past years. I don’t know if some or most of the really great writers started moving to bigger and better things during this season, the Simpsons is a bit of a stepping stone in regards to writers, or what the deal is here but this season is clearly the turning point in overall writing quality for this show’s wonderful subtlety and satire. It sounds like I’m being a little harsh on this season and still giving it 4 stars but that’s due to the enjoyment this show still gives out to this day and I will never get tired of watching it! Here’s to one of the greatest and longest running TV shows in history!- AJ Blanc
Lets face it, I do have a wonderful mother and a father, but the Simpsons helped raise me too. I love the entire Series and will slowly add all the seasons to my digital collection. Season ten is my favorite season, but I love them all. Beautifully drawn, written, and performed.- Gina
