Mayor to Leonard Nimoy: May the force be with you!

Leonard Nimoy to Mayor: Do you even know who I am?

Mayor to Leonard Nimoy: I think I do. Aren't you one of The Little Rascals?

The ring came off my pudding can. :(

Take my pen knife, my good man.

I don’t go for these back-door shenanigans. Sure, I'm flattered, maybe even a little bit curious, but the answer is no.

Yeah, ya know, thinking about it.... wasn't another season or two in the past of Simpsons also promised for a May-June release, only to never happen?

The reason it takes so long to get the early eps out is that the home video rights wern't included when they got the rights to use songs, not the commentaries. The commentaries for season 4 were mostly done when 3 was released. As the seasons go on they started including home video rights into the song deals so they'll (hopefully) speed up the releases.

Is there a chance the track could bent?

My day is even more expensive. I have The Dead Zone Season 2 to pick up that day as well.

Didn't Conan O'Brien supposedly say he just recorded the commentaries recently? Like a month ago?

Yeah, and Mike Reiss said that they just finished the commentaries for season four in another interview, and also said that it's hard to get the right people together to do them.

So they've probably been recording them off and on for months.

This will be the released of the year for me! Hope the DD 5.1 is improved. In season 1 & 2 the rears are almost dead silent.

Hopefully Conan is on the commentary track for Marge vs. the Monorail. One of my favs.

"Mono means one... And rail means rail" :lol:

i don't see why conan wouldn't be on the monorail episode. thats one where he wrote.

I thought there was going to be a voices recording featurette?
I saw this:
Extras will include an audio commentary on each episode, an introduction by Matt Groening, a voiceover featurette with James L. Brooks, animatics, an Animation Showcase multi-angle feature, commercials, deleted scenes and more. The set will be available to own from the 15th June this year, and should retail at around $49.98. I'm afraid we don't have the official artwork yet, but we'll do our very best to bring you that shortly....so I guess a voiceover featurette with James L. Brooks isn't on any more? Or maybe it is the Bush vs Simpson?

I hope these specs are for real. While I loved the season 3 DVD, it was certainly missing out on those features it promised in its press release.
