S4 DVDs - Easter Eggs??

Has anyone found ANY easter eggs (i.e. hidden stuff) on the Season 4 (R1) DVDs of The Simpsons that were just released (15 June)?

I brought them up on my computer and did a quick mouse search of each menu page (I normally don't use my computer's DVD player to hunt for eggs, but I've found it to be a lot quicker than doing every iteration of the arrow keys on my TV's player - especially when trying to access certain eggs in previous Simpson and Futurama DVD sets).

I didn't have any luck finding any but there are some very nice character animations on each screen (they delay the display of the next menu screen, but still they are very nice).

I have read in a review that a bonus commentary track is included on Disc 3 for "Marge Vs. The Monorail", should this be considered an egg.

Please post if you know of any. Frankly, I'm getting tired of easter eggs myself (especially when the menus are so complex or the location of the eggs so obscure - like the "82997" key combo that opens the Extended Special Edition on the Terminator 2 (Ultimate Edition) DVD). I wouldn't complain if they stopped doing them.

Thanks.

It's sort of an egg. The odd part is, in the booklet it mentions that Conan O'Brien is on the commentary, but if you choose the commentary on the menu you get the commentary track without him. All you have to do though (like the bonus commentaries on season 3) is hit the audio button and find the other commentary.

As far as other eggs go, I never really look for them. I only find them after someone else tell me about them. For example, I never would've found those audio outtakes from season 3 if someone didn't post it here.

I generally despise the idea of easter eggs myself. If I'm paying for it, don't hide it on me. I don't find it the least bit amusing or clever that the people that put together a DVD can make me jump through hoops to get to stuff.

It's not the same thing, but you knew that, so your point eludes me. Not that you have one.

There are only two Easter Eggs for the Season 4 DVDs according to www.snpp.com. One is the alternative commentary on Marge Vs. The Monorail (more interesting than the alternative commentaries on the Season 3 DVDs). The other is hidden sketches on disc 4. I don't know

I hope Bart's Tourettes gag is on an easter egg somewhere. The only thing that I don't like about this DVD set is that they used the stupid "rabies" version.
