Note that this release does not mean the end for the boxed season sets. Season 2 DVD set is in the works and will hit
the stores worldwide during the first half of 2002, although not likely before May.
Entertainment Weekly has an article on The Simpsons DVDs:
Good news for all the "Simpsons" lovers who've snapped up copies of the first-season DVD
box set like Homer on the loose in a Krispy Kreme shop: There's more on the way. The comic
minds behind the 12-year-old 'toon, including series creator Matt Groening, have already l
aid down commentary tracks (Mmmm, commentaries!) for a planned season 2 release, due sometime
next year.
And it's likely that every season will get the same deluxe treatment, according to executive
producer and show-runner Al Jean, who's been on staff with "The Simpsons" since the beginning.
"It's not like they're gonna leave an extra nickel on the floor in this place," he tells EW.com.

The BBFC database contains a new entry that
is possibly a special feature for the season 2 DVD set, but more likely
additional material for a VHS video to be released in the UK.
Update (12/08): The feature is a part of The Simpsons Music Theme R2 release. (see above for details)
“Otto's Words of Wisdom” (2m:24s)
Thanks to Jan Nielsen
There's still no official word on the release of the season 2 DVD boxed set.
Fox Home Entertainment was originally aiming for a Christmas release, but
today it seems unlikely. However, according to their plan to release two sets a
year it should be out within 6 months.
Unofficial discussions with people promoting the Simpsons DVD sets in Canada suggest that
May or June is the likely date.
We'll keep you posted!
