Season 12 will be coming out on DVD on August 18th.  TV Shows on DVD (via) has the full details, including lists of who signed up for commentary duty.  Simpsons DVD commentaries are usually pretty bad (too many people talking about things that aren’t really related to the episode), but these are going to be excruciating.  I guess I might finally get an explanation as to why on earth anyone thought it was funny to have that crazy woman shouting about “diamonds” over and over again in the Africa episode.  Probably not though.  

I’ve said this before, and I’m sure we’ll get into it more around here after these actually get released, but 12 was when I finally gave up and admitted that The Simpsons was dead and it wasn’t coming back.  A sad time.  

Oh, well.  Say it with me everybody, “The Simpsons are going to Delaware!”
