cartoons good...words bad   on September 23, 2004 - 8:27 AM PDT   of The Simpsons: Season 1 (Disc 1 of 3) (1989) 2 out of 2 members found this review helpful   It's the Simpsons, of course the dvd is great. But the Commentary tracks for season one are almost a total failure. There are a few nice insights into the production, but almost no discussions of those cultural references that make The Simpsons exist at that level above a funny cartoon. The guys on the track, Groening included, talk about how they have not seen these episodes in ten years and spend much of the time just laughing.
