 Worst Packaging ever... December 5, 2008
They better be offering a replacement again, there is no way to get the discs from the cardboard sleeve without getting fingerprints or worse scratching them. I don't know why they can't stick with the decent box set packaging they were using. they tried to get fancy with the homer head, but it failed. I hope they will offer a replacement again.
 HORRIBLE, STUPID PACKAGING December 5, 2008
Just in case the boneheads at Fox get around to reading customer reviews (and that's incredibly doubtful, given the borderline idiotic decisions they've made with these box sets in the past), I'll throw my two cents in here as well.
I love the Simpsons, and Season 11 is still one of the greatest. The Tomacco episode is probably in my top 10, and there's at least a half dozen other greats in this season.
But the box they stuffed the discs in is just ridiculous!
The other reviews pin it down perfectly: a crummy exterior box that dents and crumples easily, and tight cardboard sleeves that make it nearly impossible to extract the discs, and once extracted are probably scratched and certainly fingerprinted all to he11.
Is Fox just waiting around to drop the DVD box sets in favor of some sort of Blu Ray set? After all, Matt Groening said in the liner notes of the first box set that they'd probably be finished putting all the seasons out on DVD just in time for the next generation of video storage...
So, hey FOX! I would have paid TWICE what I got this for to keep the uniformity of my box set collection intact. Think on THAT for a few weeks, then don't make the same mistake with Season 12. Boneheads.
 Box Sucks December 3, 2008
The box is really flimsy. I don't care for the cheap packaging, but the DVDs are hilarious!
Funny as ever, but lousy packaging! December 1, 2008
The eleventh season still has great quality writing and is as enjoyable as ever, so if you're a Simpsons fan you won't be disappointed. My only beef is with the packaging. I don't know why they couldn't just stick with the same packaging they'd started with. The first deviation were those molded plastic portraits. Those looked cool, but if you wanted to shelve them spine out, well, they made it impossible. So, the manufacturer relented and made both the conventional and the molded options available. But now the conventional packaging has taken a down turn, presumably to be more "green." They've eliminated the plastic trays with locking hubs in favor of sleeves (like an old LP album), in which the disks are inserted. My disks arrived pre-scratched, so taking them out and reinserting them would just compound the wear on them. So, for the content itself, I'd give four or four and a half stars, but I give the overall item three for bad package design.
A Four Star Season, with One Star Packaging... November 30, 2008

The content of The Simpson's Eleventh year on the air is open to debate. Was this past the show's heyday? Probably. Did this season still manage a ton of brilliant moments? For sure. It's the Simpsons, you know the show and you know you want this set. It's totally worth the price of admission. The only negative is that the makers of these DVD sets can't seem to get the gosh darn diddly correct or uniform. In this release, They've gone to stiff cardboard sleeves to slide your discs into. Lame, crappy, cheap, and scratchy. I assume this is to make the packaging more "green.", although I suspect that it is also cheaper to manufacture thus making the studio more "green" as well. What's wrong with the packaging everyone else is using? Four stars for content, but one star for the lame packaging.
