When we were 17 it was a very good year -- a year for Homer's new dad, MacGyver gets mad, Sideshow Bob's not so bad... Another comical compilation of The Simpsons - the longest-running scripted show in television history - has arrived on DVD on 1st December 2014, courtesy of Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

Season 17 contains all 22 outrageous episodes, a vast repertoire of Springfieldian special features, plus a mind-blowing list of celebrity guest voices, including Alec Baldwin, Larry Hagman, William H. Macy, Frances McDormand, Rob Reiner, Susan Sarandon and Lily Tomlin, just to name a few, with additional guest voices also providing commentary including Richard Dean Anderson, Ricky Gervais, Michael York and Kelsey Grammer. Phew!

The longest-running scripted show in television history, The Simpsons exploded into a cultural phenomenon in 1990 and has remained one of the most ground-breaking and innovative entertainment franchises, recognisable throughout the world. Currently airing its record-annihilating 26th season, The Simpsons has won 31 Emmy Awards and was nominated for an Academy Award in 2012 for the theatrical short The Longest Daycare. They have been the subject of a hit feature film, created a revolutionary virtual coaster ride at Universal Studios, received a Star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame and been honoured with five U.S. postal stamps personally designed by Matt Groening. Named the "Best Show of the 20th Century" by Time Magazine, The Simpsons was also named "Greatest American Sitcom" by Entertainment Weekly in 2013.

The Simpsons is a Gracie Films Production in association with 20th Century Fox Television. James L. Brooks, Matt Groening and Al Jean are the Executive Producers. The Gracie Films Worldwide Brand Division develops and produces the licensed content for the series. Film Roman, a Starz Company, is the animation house.
