The Simpson’s never get old they just get funnier and crazier. In this 473 minute 4 disc set the show provided me with non-stop laughter, and I even had seen most of the episodes on TV already. If you are a Simpsons fan you probably already spotted the collection on the store’s shelf, if you haven’t been a follower or have missed some of their episodes, grab a copy and start having fun. Warning; you have to like tongue-in-cheek humor and not mind rude, insensitive, obnoxious, mindless, moronic behavior, because that’s what it’s all about.
The 21 episodes in the season include some talented comedy by the writers and artists.
Disc 1 features Treehouse of Horror XI, A Tale of Two Springfields, Insane Clown Poppy, Lisa the Tree Hugger and Homer vs. Dignity. The bonus features on this disc include seven featurettes, deleted scenes and (if you can find them) 2 Easter Eggs.
Disc 2 contains episodes The Computer Wore Menace Shoes, The Great Money Caper, Skinner’s Sense of Snow, HOMR, Pokey Mom, and Worst Episode Ever (But it isn’t). The extra stuff includes 2 featurettes, deleted scenes and 3 Easter Eggs.
Disc 3 has episodes Tennis the Menace, Day of the Jackanapes, New Kinds on the Blecch, Hungry Hungry Homer, Bye Bye Nerdie and Simpson Safari. Four features, deleted scenes and an Easter Egg complete the disc.
If you have survived the first three discs then go for Disc number 4 which includes episodes Trilogy of Error, I’m Goin’ to Praiseland, Children of a Lesser Clod and finally Simpsons Tall Tales. Three featurettes, deleted scenes and a final Easter Egg bring you to the end. And if you are a Simpson groupie it will leave you with an empty feeling till you can watch season Thirteen, the new season, on television. Wow, season ‘13’, I can only
guess what this wretched number will bring.
FINAL ANALYSIS: It’s part of my collection and I don’t lend it out :). (5 of 5 Palm Trees)
