The Simpsons Seventh Season DVD is the one that comes in the collector’s box that looks like Marge’s big blue hair. You can also get it in a non-collector’s box that comes in regular packaging. Many fans expressed a lack of satisfaction with the Homer head packaging that marked the release of the Simpsons Sixth Season DVD, which explains why you can find it in two different packages.
No matter what the box looks like, however, you can’t go wrong. The Seventh Season may not qualify as the best episode in Simpsons history, but even a less-than-great Simpsons season is better that the peak of most other shows.
The seventh season of the show is probably most famous among non-fanatics for kicking off with the second part of the Who Shot. Mr. Burns cliffhanger. In keeping with that motif, the DVD menus revolve around the concept of a police lineup. The Simpsons Seventh Season DVD contains an entertaining insert that has the look of a Variety newspaper offering up information on the episodes.
In addition to information on what is contained on the discs, the insert is also entertainingly in its presentation. Each episode has a large headline ala Variety, features a color image from the episode and lists who takes part in the episode commentaries.
If you’ve ever been disappointed with DVD commentaries, you’ve never heard a Simpsons commentary. Typically, the commentary involves writers, directors, actors, producers and even guest stars like Jon Lovitz. Sounding more like a party than a commentary, often these guys get so caught up in fascinating stories that they often forget to actually comment on what’s taking place on-screen.
You won’t mind when that happens, because these are all funny, intelligent people. And when they do comment on the show, it’s also entertaining anecdotes and behind-the-scenes information rather than the “this shot was done with a wide-angle lens at three in the morning” type stuff that you normally get. And unlike many other TV shows, every single episode features commentary.

Sorry, but I must correct a mistake. The DVD menus that revolve around lineups are from the sixth season, not the seventh. The seventh season menus revolve around the film festival red carpet. Sorry for the mistake.
