I'm particularly excited about this DVD release. 4 DVD's included. I didn't bother with the first two seasons, but this one excites me. Many critics and fans alike consider the third season to be where everything fell into place.
Season 3 included such classics as:
Stark Raving Mad (guest-starring an uncredited Michael Jackson)
Flaming Moe's
Burns Verkaufen Der Kraftwerk (the one where Mr. Burns sells the power plant to Germans)
Homer At The Bat (guest-starring all those early 90's baseball greats)
Colonel Homer (Homer manages a country singer, played by Beverly D'Angelo)
Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes? (the first appearance of Homer's half brother, played by Danny DeVito)
And lots of other great episodes! All 24 episodes from the third season, plus audio commentary on each episode and other fun bonuses!
Simpsons Third Season DVD set out tomorrow

This has actually been a topic of discussion around my house and a hint at a birthday present for me - since my birthday is on Saturday. My hubby and kids purchased Seasons 1 & 2 and have been watching them religiously. The oldest child here is 14, so amazing that she is the same age as the show.
Oh yeah, we will be buying this one.

Aaagh! It doesnt come out in the UK for a couple more weeks...natch! I cannae wait!
You know what BlueChair..I am as tired of seing the first series with its dodgy animation and corny voiceovers (lets all buy some frosty chocolate milkshakes, aye carumba, etc) as anyone, but having bought the 2 first boxsets, I seriously can't reccomend them highly enough...the commentaries by Groening et al are really funny and insightful.
One thing that peeves me is the time they're taking to release all these sets... I mean, we're on season 16 or somthing on tv, so by that rate I'll be 35 before we get to see today's episodes on dvd
I still haven't seen the episode with EC either, but thats because of the stupid scheduling in the uk whcih dictates for every new episode shown, 20 repeats have to be shown! Doh!

Correction:
The first appearance of Homer's half brother is in Season two, episode "O Brother Where Art Thou?" It's one of the best episodes ever, which is why you should absolutely bother with season 2.
P.S. My season 3 came in the mail today. Don't know what I did, but Woohoo!

The "Flaming Moe's" episode holds a special place in my heart, because when it came out, I had a crush on a boy named Moe, in that way that only fourteen-year-old girls can have a crush on someone. He was a senior, too. Anyway, the scene where everything anyone says comes out as, "moe moe moe moe moe moe"...I'm sure you can see where I'm headed with this one.
When I actually got to know Moe, I found out he was a complete idiot, and a control freak and a racist to boot. The crush died a natural death.
