The Complete
Eighth Season is now available on our main news page.
The set has already been released in the USA and Canada and worldwide releases will follow.
At the moment we know that the UK will get their set on October 2, followed by Australia on
October 11. In Belgium, season 8 is available on November 5 and in France on November 29.
If your country is not listed and the official date is available, please e-mail me!
Like with season 7, you can have a
choice over which box style you wish to have with season 8: the Maggie plastic
'head'
or the more standard box.
The 25 episodes are spread across the four discs. All episodes come with a commentary, featuring a vast
array of contributors. Matt Groening is present on almost all of them, as is showrunner Josh Weinstein. Other regulars include
Bill Oakley, Ken Keeler, George Meyer, David Mirkin, Wes Archer, David Silverman, Al Jean, Mike Anderson, David S. Cohen,
Mark Kirkland and Bob Anderson, and cast members Dan Castellaneta and Yeardley Smith.
There are also many other commentators who appear just on one or two episodes, such as Kelsey Grammer, the voice of Sideshow Bob.
Other special features include "A Memento From Matt Groening", deleted scenes from 21 episodes totalling around 20 minutes. Additionally, there are two in-depth "Animation Showcases" featuring multi-angle animation comparisons from different stages of the animation. There are also original sketches, as well as several other animation-related commented bonuses.
Finally, we have a 3.5-minute "The Simpsons House" featurette, "Original Sketches" and "A Few Promos" and a Special Language
Feature in German, Parisian French, Japanese and Czech.
Included is also a booklet set out like a photo album – entitled "Memories 1996-1997", detailing episodes, chapter stops
and extra features.
