20TH CENTURY FOX HOME ENTERTAINMENT The Simpsons: Complete Season 4
By its fourth series, <I>The Simpsons</I> had come far enough for Lisa to make a self-referential joke about Dustin Hoffman's and Michael Jackson's pseudonymous guest voice appearances in series 2 and 3, respectively. In this series, no less than Elizabeth Taylor (in two episodes), Bette Midler and even the reclusive Johnny Carson blessed <I>The Simpsons</I> with their iconic presences. Awhile back, US magazine <i>Entertainment Weekly</i> ranked the top 25 Simpsons episodes. Five gems from series 4 cracked the top 12, including the (debatable) choice for No. 1, Last Exit to Springfield. Other episodes that loom large in the Simpsons legend are Mr Plow (you know the jingle: Call Mr Plow / That's my name / That name again is Mr Plow), Marge vs. the Monorail, featuring a Music-Man-style extravaganza, and A Streetcar Named Marge, the episode that outraged New Orleans residents, who heard their fair metropolis referred to as a city that the damned call home. <p> <I>The Simpsons</I> smartly subverts traditional family sitcom convention, but anyone who thinks the show doesn't have a heart is advised to watch I Love Lisa and New Kid on the Block, two fourth-series gems that absolutely nail the agony and ecstasy of unrequited crushes (You won't be needing this, a heartbroken Bart fantasises his babysitter saying while dropkicking his heart into a wastebasket in New Kid). While the Simpsons' celebrated ensemble gets all the glory, we must pause now to praise the peerless writing staff, among them George Meyer, Al Jean, Jon Vitti, John Swartzwelder, David Silverman and Conan O'Brien. One can only marvel in astonishment at the alchemy that went into creating, week after week, such essential episodes as Kamp Krusty, Streetcar, the profane and profound Homer the Heretic and Lisa the Beauty Queen (and that's just disc 1!). The animators, too, rose to the occasion, particularly in Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie, with its dead-on, ultra-violent sinking of the seminal Disney cartoon Steamboat Willie. Another benchmark in <I>The Simpsons</I>' rise to the TV pantheon is its very first clip show. What Homer says about donuts in Monorail holds true as well for <I>The Simpsons</I> itself: is there anything this show can't do? --<I>Donald Liebenson</I>

20TH CENTURY FOX HOME ENTERTAINMENT The Simpsons: Complete Season 1
From practically the first episode, broadcast in 1989, <I>The Simpsons</I> impacted on planet TV like a giant multi-coloured meteor. With a claim to being the defining pop cultural phenomenon of the 1990s--hip, fast, sharp and primary--there was nothing even in rock & roll to match this. <I>The Simpsons</I> is possibly the greatest sitcom ever made. Although the animation was initially primitive, never before had cartoon <I>characters</I> been so well drawn. There had been loveable middle-aged layabouts on TV before, but Homer Simpson successfully stole their crown and out-slobbed them all in every department (The guys at the plant are gonna have a field day with this, he grumbles in Call of The Simpsons as he watches scientists on a TV news item who can't decide whether he is incredibly dense or a brilliant beast). However, in this first series he isn't quite yet the bloated man-child he would become in later series; instead he's a growling patriarch with a Walter Matthau-type voice. His sensible half Marge's croak, meanwhile, has yet to settle down, while the vast cast of minor Springfield characters have yet to find their place. Bart, however, was a smash from the start: dumb as Homer but spiky-haired and resourceful, he sets out his manifesto in Bart the Genius; while Moaning Lisa spotlights his over-achieving sister and is a good early example of the series' clever handling of melancholy bass notes. <p> Throughout its life there's always been confusion as to whether <I>The Simpsons</I> is a show for kids or adults, but with allusions in these first 13 episodes to Kubrick, Diane Arbus, <I>Citizen Kane</I> and (in a very satisfyingly anti-French episode) <I>Manon des Sources</I>, it should already have been clear that this was a programme for all ages and all IQs from 0 to 200. Dysfunctional they may have been, but the Simpsons stuck together, and audiences stuck with them into the 21st century. --<I>David Stubbs</I> <p><b>On the DVD:</b> The packaging is good but the 13 episodes are spread very thinly here, with just five each on discs one and two . The commentary track is intermittently interesting though a tad repetitive, as creator David Groening is joined by various other members of the team. The third disc has some neat extra stuff, including outtakes, the original Tracey Ullman Show shorts and a five-minute BBC documentary, but is again fairly brief. The menu interfaces are pretty clunky, annoyingly forcing you to watch endless copyright warnings after each episode and with no facility to play all. The content is wonderful, of course, but three discs looks like overkill. --<I>Mark Walker</I>

20TH CENTURY FOX HOME ENTERTAINMENT The Simpsons: Complete Season 5 [1990]
Sixteen seasons (and counting) of pop culture-rocking brilliance, the first four of which have already been gloriously archived on DVD. But in the words of Krusty the Clown: What has <I>The Simpsons</I> done for me lately? Well, how about all 22 episodes of season 5, each accompanied by commentary, deleted scenes, and other encyclopedic extras that hopelessly devoted <I>Simpsons</I> fans crave, no, demand? Season 5 is perhaps not as classics-packed as the third or fourth seasons, but no self-respecting <I>Simpsons</I> fan should be without the episodes Homer's Barbershop Quartet, featuring George Harrison, Cape Feare, one of Sideshow Bob's (and guest voice Kelsey Grammer's) finest half-hours, Rosebud, Springfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling) and Bart Gets Famous, with the Springfield-sweeping catchphrase I didn't do it. Plus, the star power this season is impressive: Michelle Pfeiffer as Homer's comely, donut-loving co-worker in The Last Temptation of Homer, Albert Brooks as a self-help guru who unleashes Bart's Inner Child, Kathleen Turner as the creator of Malibu Stacy in Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy, and, as themselves, the Ramones (Rosebud), James Woods (Homer and Apu), Buzz Aldren (Deep Space Homer), and even Robert Goulet (Springfield). <p> But it is the writers and the core ensemble cast who exhibit, to quote Deep Space Homer, the right... What's that stuff? Series milestones include the first appearance of yokel Cletus in Bart Gets an Elephant and Maggie's infant nemesis, The Baby with One Eyebrow in Sweet Seymour Skinner's Badasssss Song which also happens to be <I>The Simpsons</I>' 100th episode. Add in a very good Treehouse of Horror episode, (which outs Ned Flanders as the Devil and Marge as the head vampire), and one Emmy-nominated musical extravaganza (Who Needs the Quick-E-Mart from Homer and Apu), and you have a <I>Simpsons</I> season that's not just great, it's DVD-box-set great. <I>--Donald Liebenson</I>

20TH CENTURY FOX HOME ENTERTAINMENT The Simpsons: Complete Season 2
First aired in 1990-91, the second series of <I>The Simpsons</I> proved that, far from being a one-joke sitcom about the all-American dysfunctional family, it had the potential to become a whole hilarious universe. The animation had settled down (in the first series, the characters look eerily distorted when viewed years later), while Dan Castellaneta, who voiced Homer, decided to switch from a grumpy Walter Matthau impression to a more full-on, bulbous wail. The series' population of minor characters began to grow with the inclusion of Dr Hibbert, McBain and attorney Lionel Hutz, while the writers became more seamless in their ability to weave pastiche of classic movies into the plot lines. While relatively straight by later standards (the surreal forays of future seasons are kept in check here), Season Two contains some of the most memorable episodes ever made, indeed some of the finest American comedy ever made.<p> These include O Brother, Where Art Thou?, in which Homer is reunited with, and ruins the business of, his long-lost brother (He was an unbridled success--until he discovered he was a Simpson), Dead Putting Society, in which Homer lives out his rivalry with neighbour Ned Flanders through a crazy-golf competition between the sons (If you lose, you're out of the family!) and one of the greatest ever episodes, Lisa's Substitute, which not only features poor little Lisa's crush on a supply teacher voiced by Dustin Hoffman but also Bart's campaign to become class president. A vote for Bart is a vote for anarchy!, warns Martin, the rival candidate. By way of a retort, Bart promises faithfully, A vote for Bart is a vote for anarchy!. --<I>David Stubbs</I> <p> <B>On the DVD:</B> <I>The Simpsons, Season 2</I>, like its DVD predecessor, has neat animated menus on all four discs as well as apparently endless copyright warnings, but nothing as useful as a play all facility. The discs are more generously filled than Season 1, however, and each episode has an optional group commentary from Matt Groening and various members of his team. The fourth disc has sundry snippets including the Springfield family at the Emmy Awards ceremony, Julie Kavner dressed up as Bart at the American Music Awards and videos for both Do the Bartman and Deep, Deep Trouble (all with optional commentary). There are two short features dating from 1991: director David Silverman on the creation of an episode and an interview with Matt Groening. TV commercials for butterfinger bars, foreign language clips and picture galleries round out the selection. Picture is standard 4:3 and the sound is good Dolby 5.1. --<I>Mark Walker</I>

VU Games The Simpsons: Hit & Run Platinum (PS2)
Up to now <I>The Simpsons</I> games have been nothing if not consistent: they've all been completely rubbish. However, <I>The Simpsons: Hit & Run</I> thankfully breaks this 100 per cent record, and although it's hardly a classic in its own right it's just the thing for fans who want to worship their favourite characters through the medium of the joypad.<p> Like many of the more recent <I>Simpsons</I> games <I>Hit & Run</I> is primarily a racing game--a racing game that's very obviously using <I>Grand Theft Auto</I> as its primary inspiration. There's less swearing and gore but just as much running people over and driving lots of different vehicles. You can't steal them off the street, admittedly, and the missions are presented in a much more linear fashion, but otherwise this is <I>GTA: Springfield</I> through and through.<p> Somewhat embarrassingly for <I>GTA</I>, the on-the-foot sections are actually handled rather better than Rockstar's game, with a fairly non-rubbish camera and a decent control system that actually makes the occasional platform sections rather fun.<p> Most of the game is about driving, though, whether it be racing Principle Skinner to school in order to give Lisa her homework or helping Bart buy some illegal fireworks from around town. It's only when controlling underage characters such as Bart that the game's concept really starts to seem peculiar (he only drives unmotorised vehicles) but otherwise the addition of all the proper voice actors from the TV show make this the first Simpsons game ever that is in any way worthy of a purchase. --<I>David Jenkins</I>

20TH CENTURY FOX HOME ENTERTAINMENT The Simpsons: Complete Season 3
First broadcast in 1991 the third series of <I>The Simpsons</I> contains a clutch of candidates for Best <I>Simpsons</I> Episode Ever. Homer is on such appallingly good form throughout this series that a reasonable case can be made for asserting that he has superseded the importance of his Greek namesake in the annals of culture and civilisation. <p> The opening Stark Raving Dad, for instance, features a guest appearance by an un-credited Michael Jackson, who plays an obese white inmate whom Homer meets while confined to a mental institution. Other standout episodes include Like Father, Like Clown, in which Krusty reveals he is estranged from his Rabbi father; this is <I>The Simpsons</I> at the height of its powers, mature, ironic, erudite and touching while bristling with slapstick and Bart-inspired cheek. Flaming Moe's features Aerosmith and sees Homer invent a cocktail which desperate, sleazy bartender Moe steals from him. Radio Bart is another demonstration of the series' knack for cultural references, parodying the Billy Wilder movie <I>Ace in the Hole</I>. Finally, there's Brother Can You Spare Two Dimes, in which Danny DeVito reprises his role as Homer's brother, regaining the fortune Homer lost him by inventing a Baby Translator. <p> Immensely enjoyable at anything from a primary to a doctoral thesis level, this third year of the show demonstrates conclusively that <I>The Simpsons</I> is quite simply, and by a large margin, the greatest television programme ever made. --<I>David Stubbs</I>

20TH CENTURY FOX HOME ENTERTAINMENT The Simpsons - Season 6
Another series of everyone's favourite family, another collection of cracking episodes, and with 25 episodes to choose from, including some of the very best ever, you're a little spoiled for choice. <P> First aired back in the mid-nineties, the show had really hit its stride following a massively successful fifth series and this series marks a particularly popular period in the show's history, with celebrity interest bringing a gamut of guest appearances. So, we see Winona Rider in `Lisa's Rival', Kelsey Grammar in `Sideshow Bob Roberts' Meryl Streep in `Bart's Girlfriend' and Mel Brooks and Susan Sarandan in `Homer vs. Patty and Selma'. But perhaps the most notable, certainly the most amusing, guest vocal is offered by Patrick Stewart in the barnstormingly funny `Homer The Great', which also features one of the funniest Simpsons' songs ever--`The Stonecutters Song'. <P> Other highlights include Bart vs. Australia (`Hey, I think I hear a dingo eating your baby!'), Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy, in which Homer and Grampa Simpson attempt to sell their homemade viagra-like revitalising tonic to the world, and Two Dozen and One Greyhounds, featuring the second of the great Simpsons' songs to appear here--`See My Vest'. <P> And to top it all off, there's part one of the only ever <I>Simpsons</I> two-parter, `Who Shot Mr. Burns'. The two-parter prompted months of speculation over in the US when first aired and remains an expertly executed slice of <I>Simpsons</I>' history. <P> This is <I>The Simpsons</I> on top form. Guest appearances, wonderful animation, tongue in cheek humour and the usual abundance of belly laughs, together with a great selection of extras--it's another great collection.--<I>Mark Oakley</I>

20TH CENTURY FOX HOME ENTERTAINMENT The Simpsons: Backstage Pass [1990]
<I>The Simpsons: Backstage Pass</I> is a veritable rock & roll extravaganza: you'll hear a classical version of Insane in the Membrane and watch The Who destroying rubbish with pure guitar power. It also features guest performances by The Who, Cypress Hill, The Smashing Pumpkins, Peter Frampton and Spinal Tap.<p> In Homerpalooza, Homer has a mini mid-life crisis caused by his inability to recognise new bands in the local record store (not even Sonic Youth). The result is a trip for him and the kids to the Hullabalooza festival where Homer fulfils his rock star dreams by touring as part of the freak show. A Tale of Two Springfields sees the town divided by a change in area code, which only The Who can solve with their infinite wisdom: Why don't you get phones with auto-dial?. In The Otto Show Milhouse and Bart enjoy their first outing to a rock gig to see top super-group, Spinal Tap. Finally, Homer's Barbershop Quartet offers the rare opportunity to see Homer sing as part of Springfield's B Sharps, who allegedly rocked America back in 1985! <p><B>On the DVD:</B> <I>The Simpsons: Backstage Pass</I> offers a collection of Otto's finest moments, proving what a <I>cooool</I> guy the local bus driver is. Otherwise the disc is barren of extras. Picture is standard 4:3 and you can choose between English, French and German audio languages with a vast range of European subtitle options. --<I>Nikki Disney</I>

20TH CENTURY FOX HOME ENTERTAINMENT The Simpsons Film Festival [1990]
Any four episodes of <I>The Simpsons</I> chosen at random would make perfectly acceptable entertainment, but <I>The Simpsons' Film Festival</I> is a particularly happy selection. One of the show's many delights has always been its unending stream of movie parodies, and here we have four episodes devoted to just that. In Beyond Blunderdome, Mel Gibson (playing himself) sends up his tough-guy persona when he hires Homer to produce his latest movie. Then in A Star is Burns Springfield hosts its own film festival (with acerbic guest critic Jay Sherman in attendance). The competition boils down to Barney's haunting <I>cinema verité</I> short about the horrors of alcohol or Mr Burns' grandiose vanity project (though Homer prefers Hans Moleman being hit by a football). 22 Short Films About Springfield is a series of parodies within a parody featuring Springfield's secondary characters, including Milhouse's dad and Chief Wiggum in a glorious <I>Pulp Fiction</I> sequence. Finally, the show's own internal parody cartoon duo hit the big screen in The Itchy and Scratchy Movie, while Bart and Homer lock horns about going to see it. They sell Soylent Green in the future cinema foyer; and Homer loves it, of course.<p><B>On the DVD:</B> just four episodes is hardly stunning value for money, but it's perhaps quality not quantity that counts here. Annoyingly there is no Play All facility, a serious let down in all the <I>Simpsons</I> DVD releases (<I>Futurama</I> had the same problem, too). The only extra feature of any note is a three-minute montage of Troy McClure's finest moments. Sound is unexceptional Dolby Stereo and the picture is standard 4:3 ratio. --<I>Mark Walker</I>

20TH CENTURY FOX HOME ENTERTAINMENT The Simpsons - Season 7 (Ltd Edition 'Marge' head)
One of the hallmark seasons of <I>The Simpsons</I>, season 7 features some of the strongest episodes produced during the show's run. Considering that this is <I>The Simpsons</I> we're talking about here, that's saying a lot, but this collection deserves the accolades. <P> Broadcast in 1995, season seven features several signature episodes, including Part II of Who Shot Mr. Burns, Bart Sells His Soul, and Two Bad Neighbors where former President George Herbert Walker Bush moves into the neighborhood (an episode gamely playing on the former President's open dislike for the show). One of <I>The Simpsons</I>'s most definitive episodes, Treehouse of Horror VI famously broke the third wall by using the then-groundbreaking CGI technology to render Homer first in a 3-D world, then in real life, (despite the evolution in his form, he naturally ends up in an erotic cake shop). As the producers openly note on the commentary, it was a big deal at the time, and super expensive, which is why they could only do a few minutes of footage in CGI (some fans will particularly enjoy the revealing commentary on this one, as the producers explain the many visual puns and math jokes appearing in the background of the 3-D world). It's a great example of how <I>The Simpsons</I> continued to play with its visual style and take creative risks years into its run. In fact, one of the best episodes on this collection, The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular proves just how far the look and style of the show really came during that time. Hosted by actor Troy McClure (voiced by the late comic great Phil Hartman), it presents never-before-seen outtakes and original footage from the show's debut days on <I>The Tracey Ullman Show</I>, while taking a few self-referential digs at show creators Matt Groening, James Brooks, and Sam Simon. Other gems include Homerpalooza where Homer thanks guests The Smashing Pumpkins for their gloomy music because it has made his kids stop wishing for a future I can't possibly provide, and Bart the Fink where Bart inadvertently gets Krusty the Klown busted for tax avoision. <P> Along with the 25 episodes there are extensive commentaries, featurettes, and deleted scenes all of which add immense value to the set and will give die-hard fans another excuse to spend more hours in front of the TV. It's another benchmark collection from a show that, up to this point, doesn't seem to know its own limits.<i> --Dan Vancini </i>
