WE DID IT!! After 3 years The Simpsons are finally headed back to DVD! Thank you all for signing this petition, I like to think someone out there saw it and that it helped our cause.
One simple request, please release the remaining seasons of The Simpsons (18,19,21 and all subsequent and future seasons) on DVD and Blu-ray box sets.
Please SHARE everywhere!
(Bare with me if I ramble, this is the first time I've sprung into action to make a petition, and I honestly can't even believe I have to make a petition for this!)
We were all shocked and baffled, some hearbroken, recently when Al Jean took to Twitter to annouce there would be no more seasons of The Simpsons released on DVD.
Wait.. What?!Why?!
First of all, this is THE SIMPSONS! The longest running sitcom ever with the second most episodes ever! (watch out Gunsmoke, your days are numbered). This show is popular worldwide and in some places DVDs are the only option for viewing.
Secondly, there is, and will always be, a market for DVD/Blu-rays. I will never buy a digital copy of a show/movie/album or comic. I want something tangible for my hard earned money. There is money to be made, as opposed to free streaming on Simpsons World (which I love as a back up or when I'm out and about but not as my main source).
I was 10 when The Simpsons debuted on FOX and I fell in love with that bulgy eyed, yellow faced family immediately. I can remember setting the VCR to record new episodes every Thursday, and then every Sunday. Those VHS tapes were my prized possessions and I still have them. Fast forward to 2001, I'm a junior in high school when season 1 is released on DVD. I bought it the Tuesday it was came out and went home and devoured it. The commentaries, deleted scenes, animatics and commercials! I was in Simpsons heaven, I made room for this new treasure among my other DVDs and dreamed of the day I'd have the entire series. That dream died on August 8th, 2015.
My collection is incomplete, as is all of yours. Hopefully together, with enough signatures and promise of purchase upon release, we will get a full set.
Thank you fans, for your signatures. More importantly,
Thank you to everyone who makes the greatest show ever.

Please, collecting Simpsons for our 4year old grandson. We want him to have a part of our childhood. We have 1-16 and 20 . We will give these to him when he turns 18. We want to give him all of them, he is already a fan at the age of 4.
Telling collectors they can't complete their collection! I don't trust the digital platform and want Simpsons immortalised in my own personal collection that's why I've spent $500 plus getting all the DVDs so far. No respect for the fans at all
I have collected every season day one of release from the first season. It was a long wait between seasons but worth it. Please continue to release. Please do not short change your paying fans for the last 15+ years that have been collecting this wonderful series.
My girlfriend introduced me to the Simpsons after I only saw a few episodes. She has them all. We're on season 9, we must complete our collection! It's part of what brought us to, no matter the disagreement we always put an episode of the Simpsons on.
PLEASE allow me to complete my collection! Love the programme, love the boxsets, love physically OWNING things and above all, absolutely LOVE the commentaries on each and every episode. I know its costly, but do it for us, the fans, who have stuck by you!
Too continue my collection
I'm a DVD collector and want my series complete with official dvd/bluray releases

I'm so upset about this, why release 17 seasons then stop....Makes no sense for people that are collectors and huge fans. If it's for the sake of it not being profitable then don't make too many copies. It's that simple, why choose to not make any? Makes no sense.
