Season Four Box Art Released
Get excited, this is what will appear on the box you’ll be able to hold in your hands on June 15th.

Dark blue (I like to think of it as simpsonschannel blue) is the color of this set, while Barney, Ralph, Santa’s Little Helper, and Snowball II appear on the box in addition to the family members, giving us an idea of how they’ll combat cover similarities in the future. 83 days to go.

Treehouse Of Horror DVD Out
While the eyes of Simpsons fans were fixed on the release of the Season 3 DVD, another set has slipped under the radar.

The single disc includes Treehouse Of Horror V, VI, VII, and XII, as well as a special Kang And Kodos featurette.

Third DVD Set Bows Big
First-day sales of “The Simpsons: Season 3” DVD doubled those of the Season 1 DVD release and were about 20% ahead of the Season 2 box, according to Fox executives. Released Tuesday, it is estimated to have already sold through about 40% of its initial shipment of about 500,000 DVD units. A half-million units is a fraction of what major theatrical titles ship to retail outlets and video rental stores, but for the TV-to-DVD niche, it is a large shipment. The industry has found that seasonal DVD releases of series’ such as HBO’s “The Sopranos” can be rather lucrative because each box set retails for about $50, compared with about $20 for a major theatrical release. The increased profit margins and the length of time TV-to-DVD product tends to remain selling on store shelves has made TV-to-DVD products one of the hottest growth sectors in the realm of DVD, several industry sources said.
