 The Packaging Wasn't THAT Bad!, 2008-11-17
While this season marked a certain downward trend in the comedy styling of the cartoon series I so love to this day, there were still some gems this go round.
The 'Behind the Laughter' episode, which was a take on the popular VH-1 'Behind the Music' for starters is probably the most hysterical of all the episodes on here. 'Eight Misbehavin'' when Apu and his wife give birth to the octuplets is a close second. 'Last Tap Dance in Springfield' and 'Guess Who's Coming to Criticize Dinner' are also up there.
Then there were the sillier ones that I turned my nose up at like the episode where Bart takes the meds for having ADHD (Brother's Little Helper) and the Spring Break episode where Homer has a nervous break down and they take him to Spring Break (Kill the Alligator and Run).
Now the packaging: I must admit, I was like what in the world when I received this, but it's really not that bad like some have made it out to be. None of my discs were scratched or skipped. They were packed in extremely tight and you did have to fiddle with the cardboard a bit.
I would say the other packagings were better, and this was kinda cheap, especially with the fact that the collectible head was not the case, but glued onto the regular version.
 Krusty's Head is filled with wonder!, 2008-11-17
Simpsons Season 11 is a gem! There are some great episodes in there. My only complaint is how difficult it is to remove the discs from the packaging and the overall flimsiness of the packaging. I foresee it all falling apart after a handful of viewings.

Still some good episodes but definitely some clunkers. I would only buy if you're a hard core fan (which I am).
Krustisious!!!, 2008-11-12
Well, it's the Simpsons. There was a time in which Homer became SUPER dumb, but apparently for this 11th season, he got back on the road. I gave it a 5/5. You will not be dissapointed.

 Horrible Packaging, 2008-11-12
I like The Simpsons and I have liked the series for a long time. I religiously buy the DVDs when they are available. However, there is one thing that I don't like about The Simpsons and it is the terrible packaging the manufacturers create - and it keeps getting worse as the seasons progress. This season is no different. For instance, the outer case is bulky with Krusty's image and it does not fit on the shelf. Because of the awkwardness of the package, the manufacturers provide you with an ill-conceived plain plastic wrap to protect your collector's item, which makes the total outer package look even more awkward. Then on the inside, the DVD sleeves are basically two pieces of thin paperboard tightly glued at the edges, so the DVDs are sandwiched in between the sheets of paperboard. These disc "protectors" make retrieving the discs difficult. So difficult, that I purchased the DVDs over a month ago and I have to make it to the last two discs, because pulling out the DVDs feels like a task.
Like I said, I really like The Simpsons, but this is getting bad to the point that I don't know if I will buy next set in the series.
