So who's head are we getting for Season 7? Granted the older episodes are generally better, but I'm a Simpsons whore. It's still one of my favorite shows. I'll probably be getting the replacement box as well if they go that route again. It'd be nice if they just released it in the alternative packaging as well from the get-go.

Plus I can't wait to see who shot Mr. Burns.
I thought I saw a picture of a bunch more seasons with similar heads. Fox went all out with this experiment. I'll still get it and send in for the new cover, but as a rule of thumb (especially when dealing with collectors)---keep the packaging the same, that is, if it ain't broke don't fix it. It was perfect the way it was.

Actually that episode is from season eight. But season 7 has many classics like Lisa the vegertarian, when Homer gains weight to work for disability, when George and Barbara Bush move next to the Simpsons, Homerpalooza, 22 short films about Springfield, and the list goes on and on.

And according to the picture, this one should be in the Marge head:

I agree, bet it's Marge for Season 7, Bart for Season 8, Lisa for Season 9, and Maggie for Season 10

According to those pictures, Lisa is eighth, Maggie is ninth and Bart is tenth.

So does that mean we'll get a new design every 5 seasons??

It says which one is for which season right on each head.

Simpsons Season 7 - 12/13/2005 - New packaging

And by "new packaging" I mean old...plus new:

Two different packages for season 7. There's also a massive list of extras.

When FOX sees that nobody is buying the marge version, maybe they'll finally get their heads straight and release season 8 in the normal packaging only. They're one step closer to realizing how fucking stupid this whole thing was.

Will that Marge head even fit on a regular DVD shelf?

I for one will be purchasing the regular case. Now if we can just get Fox to actually come up with a replacement case for season six that actually fits in with the rest of the series, instead of that stupid ass slip cover, then we will be fine.

News flash to studios: gimmicky packaging is ideal for special editions, single movies, deluxe collectors edition stuff...not for stuff like this! KNOCK IT THE HELL OFF!

Personally, i'm not so sure that the sales numbers for a Marge version of the case would be that poor versus the other style.

Have you seen picks of this "normal" packaging? Gord has it up on his site if you want to take a look. It's just a slip cover to go over Homer's head. Entirely pointless.

"Fish Called Selma: Bill Oakley, Josh Weinstein, Jeff Goldblum, David Silverman"

Goldblum, sweet. He is truly one of the most entertaining interviewees that I have ever seen, I can imagine him over 20+ minutes of commentary.

Peaches....Peaches!

Which reminds me, I gotta order that regular packaging for Season 6.
Great news, though, and sooner than expected.

I'll be going with the old style DIGIpak packaging. The fact that they will be offering both versions in December for season 7 makes the crap we got in the mail for season 6 all the more crappier...

Yikes!!! I'd hate to have to fit this on my dvd shelf:




* Wink. Of course I made the hair taller than what it will be.
