Got my Simpsons Season 6 boxset today.
While undisputedly this is one of the best seasons of the show, the DVD box it comes in is actually worse than my expectations thought it would be, especially considering the hundreds of fans having a moan over the Internet about Fox Home Entertainment's decision to radically change the continuity of the packaging just 6 seasons in.

The thing is made of the cheapest, nastiest plastic ever, looks like it will last two minutes (if lucky) should Jaden get his mitts on it.
The thing doesn’t even fit on my DVD shelf properly, let along my 'Now Playing' marquee, and to make it worse, it doesn’t even blend in at all with the previous five boxsets.
Their poor excuse to compensate for the missing spine is just, pathetic.


However I did receive this leaflet inside the packaging:



which basically categorises me and my dissatisfaction as 'Anal Retentive'.
Oh well - shame I can’t obtain this alternative packaging as I’m based in the UK and imported a Region One DVD (they don't ship abroad).
If the new box style continues to irk me, I’ll simply get the alternative one shipped to my Aunt in Los Angeles, then passed on to me.

However checkout Simpsonsbox.com nonetheless - it’s pretty funny. Makes you wonder though how Fox could have been so short-sighted in the first place.
