The Season that Started it all
This is not the best season out of the 15years they have been aired on fox but, this is the most memerable season. The animation isnt that perfect but thanks to todays' technology some of the animation from this season has been improved & more colorful making it the best it can be. While this is the most memerable season it still has some pretty good episodes on it.

My favorite episodes for season 1..
'Simpsons Roasting On an Open Fire' 1x01
'Homer's Odyessy' 1x03
'There's No Disgrace Like Home' 1x04
'The Call of the Simpsons' 1x07
'Krusty Gets Busted' 1x12 (only reason why i like this episode is because of the fact that Sideshow Bob is in it)
'Some Enchanted Evening' 1x13

The rest of the episodes are either good or decent...
'Bart The Genius' 1x02 (3/5)
'Bart The General' 1x05 (3/5)
'Moaning Lisa' 1x06 (2/5)
'The Telltale Head' 1x08 (4/5)
'Life On The Fast Lane' 1x09 (0/5) - the only episode i would never watch
'Homer's Night Out' 1x10 (3/5)
'The Crepes of Wrath' 1x11 (3/5)

I would have given this season set a 2 or 3 Stars but its the first season.. it deserves more & it spawned 14more seasons & its expected to run at least 4 more years to this date. The simpsons has been the best animated series there is & this is the season that started it all.

Finally Someone Speaks Out!!
.
Contrary to movies, where the origional is always the best, ie, the first "Halloween", the origional "Lethal Weapon", and the origional "Airplane", television series' tend to go in the opposit direction.

Yes I suppose all Simpsons fans know that the first classic episodes featured rough animation and off kilter voice overs, but I was unaware of the extent of the damage we're dealing with here.

In another anymous review titled "mediocre", the writer was the first person who actually seen what I had seen. Yes these were classics, but like he mentioned, when was Smithers an African American. Maybe I have excess anylitical skills, but in addition to this, Chief Wiggims turns every color in between brown, tan, baige and yellow in a single episode, which is "Krusty gets busted".

Also like the same review pointed, this season offered only funny moments, and there were no real laughs, save for when the entire Simpsons family gives each other shock therapy in the episode "There's No Disgrace Like Home".

Upon this there were many very pleasant episodes, such as "The Crepes of Wrath", as well as "Krusty Gets Busted", where Sideshow Bob is introduced as Bart's eternal nemisis, yet this only shadows what is to come.

Call me a pessimist, but I'd rather own (I do anyway) from season two on, when Arnold Swatrzenegger guest starred, in addition to when the animation is clear and refined, and the voice acting is top notch and in its stride, and when the episodes move with the brisk speed and zanny antics that us Simpson fans have grown to love.

Because face it folks, without the top notch voice acting that shapes the characters, more interesting characters to fit into every episode in zanny ways (Milhouse sudenly appearing in the living room of the Simpsons' home and exclaiming "Because he's the kind that kisses and leaves you, indicating Homer), well then its just not worth it for me.

Despite the many glithches and loads of seasons that out there or will be available soon, this first season still has its moments.
