I can't believe I am putting the words "Simpsons' DVD" in the subject of a post...

Bear with me for a few here. I am sure this topic has been covered ad-nauseum over the last few months, but I've checked all the threads (that I currently have) and it doesn't seem to be covered.

I know the DVD has been released. I want to buy it. I check to see what this set includes. I find this:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005ML6Y/ref=d_hp_cs_3_3/107-9893541-7946914

which details the contents of the three disks as follows:

Edition Details: � Region 1 encoding (US and Canada only) � Color, Animated, Box set, Dolby � Disc 1: � Commentaries on each episode � Bart the Genius: Original Script � Bart the General: Original Script � Moaning Lisa: Original Script � Disc 2: � Commentaries on each episode � Disc 3: � Some Enchanted: Original Script � Unaired Episode with Optional Commentary � Animatic: Bart the General w/Commentary, Albert Brooks � Outtakes � America's First Family BBC Special � Bart T-shirt Controversy ABC News � Tracy Ulman: Good Night Simpsons � Foreign Language Clips (7) � Early Sketches (Still Gallery-100) � 12 stills and magazine covers � Full-screen format

OK, perhaps I've been out of the loop for a while, but didn't the first season consist of 13 episodes? In that description, I see 5 eps listed and a whole bunch of other stuff that are not season one episodes. Now, I wasn't a math major in college, but 5 ep's are quite a few ep's short of the "complete first season" as the DVD title indicates.

And for 30 bucks, I can't help but to feel as though something is missing. Could someone please clue me in as I have been in la-la-land long enough for the details of this release to completely pass over my head. I would like to get this, but I would like to avoid being bamboozled in the process.

Thanks for the help and try not to laugh or vomit too hard if the answer to this has been discussed 800,000 times already in the NG. I just tuned back in after quite a long break.

Uhm...this is just a list of the "bonus features" included on the discs in addition to the 13 episodes.

I see. I guess I just got stuck when they called that "Edition Details" rather than "bonus [or special] features". My bad.

Thanks again for the help.

I can see how that can be confusing. That's Amazon's bad.

I saw the same thing in a few other places until I came across a site that was enlightened enough to include the ENTIRE contents of the DVD's. What a concept :o)

That appears to be the list of extras on each disk, in addition to the 13 episodes.
