The Simpsons DVDs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following Simpsons DVDs are all compilation releases in various regions. The Simpsons DVD season boxsets have been released since 2001 in different regions all over the world. They have been released with Region 1 (North America), Region 2 (Europe) and Region 4 (New Zealand, Australia, and Latin America) encoding.

The first five box sets all have outer packaging based around a memorable couch gag from the show. For the next five box sets (Seasons 6-10), the production changed to plastic packages in the shape of the head of one of the Simpson family members. Alternatively, themed boxes are also available for the "head" seasons.
