I always liked season 11 , my favorite episode is Behind the Laughter , which parodies the VH1 show Behind the Music. However this packing is just... just awful. You might need David Blaine to remove these for you without a scratch. maybe that's their plan , create a box that scratches the discs therefore forcing the consumer to buy it again!!! $$$$$$$$$!!!! I love the episodes but the box is horrible
 Packaging stoops to new lows - not buying the next sets October 12, 2008

This DVD set was obviously designed by someone who doesn't use it. The poster below summed it up. We've been supporting Fox for 20 years and we get this. No more.
Paper is a stupid medium for DVDs. They aren't cheaper. They aren't eco-friendly - laminated cardboard. And they scratch the discs!!
Use recycled plastic Amaray cases. Durable, replaceable, common sense. No more digipaks either. The spindles break on those too.
Amazon needs to state what type of packaging is provided (Amaray plastic case, digipak, cardboard).
They better not screw up Blu-Ray. Their snap case works. Vote with your wallet stop buying poor products.
My Discs Are All Scratched! October 11, 2008

Fox made the worst box ever, the dvd's are hard to take out, and they scratch when they finally come out, the show is fine, but fox should give a replacement box soon, or else rent the season and burn it, it is better than spending in a cheap made 30 dollars product. I hate that my new 3 day old dvd is already scratched!!!. REPLACEMENT REPLACEMENT, REPLACEMENT
 Worst. Packaging. EVER! October 10, 2008

As far as the show goes, it's The Simpsons. I love 'em and the episodes are great. But here's a warning: the packaging is the cheapest, most poorly designed, pain-in-the-a$$ packaging ever thrown together for a dvd release. Folks, it's just awful. First you have the co-called "collectible" head case, which is made of thin, cheap plastic which scuffs amazingly easily. Also, because of the weird shape and size, it is impossible to stack on your shelves with your other dvd's. I have steadfastly avoided these awful head case packages since Fox has been producing them.
But the really awful thing, which is a consistent factor with both the head case and the traditional case, is the terrible design. No plastic spindles to keep your discs separate and secure... no, here they are jammed, tightly, into an awful foldout cardboard sleeve. So tightly are they packed in there that trying to slip your finger into the sleeve to retrieve the disc without tearing, bending, or otherwise breaking the package is virtually impossible. What's worse is that the backing in these sleeves is not smooth and slick, it is instead rough and fibrous and is guaranteed to scratch the discs all to hell. Even the outside slipcase is cheaply made, bending and crinkling with no more than a withering glance. You should probably stay away and rent it from Netflix.
And with this terrible downgrade in the quality of the packaging, you might expect a lower price. HA! Not a chance! To the nitwits at Fox, we Simpsons fans have supported you for 20 whole years, and this is the best you can do for us? You need to start having a little respect for the fans who shell out their hard-earned money for your products.
I'd love to give the set five stars, but with this poorly designed, bound to fail, cheap-a$$ packaging I can only manage two. And I'm being generous.
Great show, terrible packaging! October 10, 2008

Welcome to the eleventh (!) season of "The Simpsons", one of the best and longest lasting shows on television! With this season you get some of the greatest episodes, including one of my personal favorites, "Behind the Laughter". Of course you also get some wonderful commentaries, which are always entertaining, and the usual raft of extras. All in all, a great set, with one notable exception.
The packaging bites. Totally bites.
The producers of "The Simpsons" and "Futurama" seem to have got it into their heads that making "green" packaging for their DVD's is somehow better. This is also seen with movies such as "There Will Be Blood". Basically what it boils down to is "cheap, cardboard packaging that is almost guaranteed to damage your DVD's when you remove them."
The packaging for this season of "The Simpsons" is particularly notable for this failing. The disks are jammed inside tight cardboard sleeves. When you remove them, you're almost going to have to grip them by the top and bottom, promising tons of fingerprints. Unless you're very careful, you're also likely to scratch them.
I understand the idea of wanting to not fill up our landfills with tons of plastic, but really, people. How many of you bought the previous seasons of the show on DVD and then threw away the plastic trays that the discs were in? Not many, I'm wagering.
So five stars for the show and, much as it pains me to do it, only one for the packaging. Thus the set gets a sad little three stars and no love.
