Trivia[]
- On July 20, 2019, it was announced by current showrunner Al Jean during the San Diego Comic-Con 2019 panel that the nineteenth season DVD would be released on Tuesday, December 3, 2019 in the United States and Canada by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, eleven years after it had completed broadcast on television. The Season 19 DVD includes 20 episodes and features “collectible Homer Simpson packaging,” Jean said. There are also custom menus on every disc, along with commentary on every episode, he added. It's the first DVD release of The Simpsons since The Walt Disney Company's acquisition of 21st Century Fox, the parent company of 20th Century Fox in March 2019.
- This DVD set finally gives The Simpsons fans a complete collection of the first 20 seasons. For a long time it looked like DVD collectors would be out of luck, as “The Simpsons” had been on a regular DVD release schedule up until Season 17 in December 2014. And then production halted on any future seasons for a couple years.
- First Simpsons and to date, the only home video release to be distributed by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment since the home media releases of Dark Phoenix (using Disney branded Multi-Screen Edition style artwork cover for most of Marvel, Star Wars and Disney Blu-Ray release from 2018) was released. In 2024, the physical media distributors were transferred to Sony Pictures Entertainment, thus putting the fate of future season sets uncertain.
- Homer Simpson is the only Simpsons character to appear on two Simpsons season DVDs on the front cover by his face. The first one was the Season 6 DVD.
- The artwork on the menus and DVD inserts was done by recurring guest animator Bill Plympton.
- This is the only DVD set that does not include deleted scenes nor animation showcases in this season, as well as season 20.
- This is the second (and final) complete season on DVD that does not have a scene selection on all episodes.
